Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />September 8, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />Roll Call vote: <br />Commissioner Gorsevski - yes <br />Commissioner Tofte - yes <br />Chair Adler - yes <br />Commissioner Williams - yes <br />Commissioner Gambale - yes <br />Council member Leh - yes <br />Motion passed <br />Discussion/Direction — Work Plan <br />Director Pierce noted that for development of a proposed 2022 budget, staff will <br />require input about the LRC's highest priorities or any new projects they are <br />interested in undertaking. Commissioners reviewed Work Plan items where the <br />priority was highlighted in "yellow" —meaning it had not been updated since <br />committing to the Transportation Master Plan underpass improvements. <br />Commissioners asked questions about combining the two phases of the <br />Wayfinding Signage Program, implementation of bike connectivity <br />improvements, scope of streetscape and street furniture project, and areas of <br />sidewalk improvements. Staff gathered feedback to revise the prioritization. <br />Due to time, Commissioners did not review the entire Work Plan. <br />Commissioners will send comments on priorities to Director Pierce to <br />incorporate ahead of the next meeting date. <br />• Discussion/ Direction — Preliminary 2022 Budget <br />Director Pierce reviewed the budget process timeline. She requested direction <br />from Commissioners to be able to bring back a proposed budget in October. <br />She then reviewed several projects that staff felt the LRC may wish to consider <br />for next year's budget, including: expanded wayfinding signage, bike parking <br />amenities, public infrastructure assistance, marketing strategy and <br />implementation, and facade improvement program. <br />Councilmember Leh inquired about how a facade improvement program would <br />interact with the existing historic preservation program. Director Pierce said this <br />will require more detail and consideration in the structure of the program. She <br />said it is feasible to get a program into place by early next year and then start <br />awarding funds. Commissioner Smith submitted a comment that he is in <br />support of facade improvements. Chair Adler is also in agreement. <br />Agenda Packet P. 6 <br />
