BACKGROUND In the summer of 2012, Agency Board members requested that Planning staff solicit the community for their opinion about various potential Urban Renewal projects. Staff reached out to community members in various ways to gauge their interest. They gave talks to groups, sent out surveys and spoke with individual community members. In all, around 100 community members participated and 63 surveys were returned. The survey was in both English and Spanish and listed five potential projects for consideration. These projects are: a feasibility analysis of the Association Building, upgrading First Street, Bungalow Theater remodeling, upgrading and repairing the Young St/99E Intersection, and building an Amtrak station. There was also an option for respondents to add their own project ideas. Results of the outreach illustrated the community's interest in the Agency Board pursuing an infrastructure project, specifically upgrading First Street or repairing the intersection of Young Street and 99E. The community showed an overwhelming interest in seeing the project, whatever it might be, specifically happen downtown. They expressed concern about the current state of the downtown area. Respondents to the survey showed more interest in infrastructure projects, like improving First Street and repairing/upgrading the Young Street/99E intersection, more than any other type of project. Agenda Item Review: City Administrator _X_ City Attorney _X_ Finance _X_ Urban Renewal Project Prioritization June 10, 2013 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The Woodburn Urban Renewal District was created in 2001. Several projects and improvements were initially identified for consideration. The Agency Board has funding to support new major improvement projects, totaling $4,000,000- $5,000,000 dollars for debt service. The Agency Board is presently pursuing the best use for the Association Building and completing the Fire District remodeling project. Given preliminary estimates, financial capacity exists to fund one or two additional capital projects. Public outreach is intended to help shape which additional projects move forward. The outreach of summer, 2012 acted as an initial step in moving towards choosing a new Urban Renewal project. This meeting is the second step. Community members have been invited to present their opinions regarding potential urban renewal projects. If the Agency Board feels that they have gathered enough community input, the next stage will be to choose a project or projects to pursue and direct staff to initiate a work plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funding exists to support up to $5,000,000 of additional urban renewal debt service through fiscal year 2024/25. Financial impacts will be based upon ultimate capital improvement projects, as determined by the Urban Renewal Agency Board.
