2011/06/08 Council Agenda Packet

Iw Page 8 of 11 1 Each taskforce will consist of representatives from, at a minimum,jurisdictions with direct land use, transportation, or other regulatory authority in the corridors. In addition,members will include employers and landowners, private and nonprofit stakeholders,and additional participants identified by the Affordable Housing and Equity Network Steering Committees. Corridor taskforces structure will adhere to Program's goals of broad and diverse representation and ongoing joinability; however, since the Program corridors are different,may cover many miles,and go through different counties and cities,there needs to be specific corridor discretion for taskforce composition. Each taskforce will select a chair and vice chair. As the work progresses,additional jurisdictions and stakeholders will be invited and encouraged to participate.As appropriate, focus groups,technical subcommittees,and caucuses may be convened. Role: The taskforces will be responsible for developing broad consensus about the unique circumstances, challenges,and opportunities each corridor faces.Taskforces will make recommendations for specific Corridor Action Strategies.Inter jurisdictional coordination and planning will establish a platform for "Transit-oriented Development Compacts"and other action strategies for concurrence by the Oversight Committee and action by the Puget Sound Regional Council, individual jurisdictions,and other stakeholders.Taskforce members will be responsible for overseeing work contained in Element B of the Growing Transit Communities work program, see Memorandum of Understanding Attachment B. Key Products: Equitable TOD principles reports; corridor existing conditions(development/regulatory) reports; Corridor Vision,findings and recommendations for Corridor Station Areas; community workshops and trainings;TOD compacts. Membership: Members of the Corridor Taskforces will be appointed by vote of the Oversight Committee upon the nomination of Consortium partners and Growing Transit Communities program staff, with the assistance of the Affordable Housing and Equity Network Steering Committees. Program corridors are geographically defined north to the City of Everett in Snohomish County, east to the City of Redmond in King County, and south to the City of Tacoma in Pierce County.Jurisdictions; transportation agencies; community, environmental,educational,philanthropic, financial, and business groups that may be affected by the activities related to the Growing Transit Communities work are included as stakeholders in the Program Corridors. Broad, open and ongoing inclusion for affected stakeholders is a foundational element of the Program and every effort will be made to fulfill this promise. Recognizing that a"one size fits all"approach for Taskforce composition may not help to achieve the Program's broad and deep representation goals, each Program Corridor Taskforce will generally have seats for the interests listed below, but may structure the Taskforces according to specific Corridor characteristics, demographics, and phase of development. Furthermore,the Taskforce may focus its membership around station areas, if appropriate. The participation of additional stakeholders in the work of the committee will be actively encouraged. However, for efficient work program management, formal seats for decision-making will be reserved for taskforce members appointed by the Oversight Committee.
