Community Bond Advisory Committee
Background
At its November 27th meeting, the Addison City Council discussed the possibility of a November 2019 bond program. As part of that program, Council formed a Community Bond Advisory Committee to help prioritize projects. The projects being considered impact Addison's roads, parks, and municipal buildings. Twenty-eight people were appointed to the Committee at the December 11 City Council meeting. This group began meeting on January 30, 2019 and presented their recommendations to the City Council on June 11, 2019.
The Committee evaluated the projects based on the following criteria and recommended five propositions to Council on June 11, 2019.
Criteria
- Improved Transportation
- Economic Vitality/Development
- Safety and Security
- Recreation and Leisure
- Effective Management
- Strategic Direction
- Asset Management
- Fiscal Responsibility
As part of the staff presentations, the committee was given asset management risk scores for all projects, where available, as well as Pavement Condition Index scores for the street projects that were presented. Addison’s Master Transportation Plan was revised and the new plan adopted by the City Council in December 2016. The 2016 plan updated the requirements for the width of streets and medians throughout Town, as well as the location and scale of the pedestrian amenities, including sidewalks and enhanced landscaping. These new requirements are currently included in the scope of the street-related bond propositions.
