WCCCC approves $6.63 million Sherwood TDT expenditure for three transportation projects
Summary
The Washington County Coordinating Committee approved a Transportation Development Tax (TDT) expenditure request from the city of Sherwood totaling $6.63 million for three projects: Aerrow Street ($1.4M), Oregon Street ($5M), and Sunset & Timberell intersection improvements ($230,000). Approval was by voice vote; a detailed tally was not recorded on the transcript.
The Washington County Coordinating Committee on March 19 approved a Transportation Development Tax expenditure request from the city of Sherwood totaling $6.63 million for three projects, committee staff said.
Dami Valentine, transportation planning section manager, presented the request on behalf of Sherwood. She said the packet describes three projects: design and construction of Aerrow Street (about $1.4 million), a contribution toward the Oregon Street project (about $5 million, described as leveraging other funds), and roughly $230,000 for intersection improvements at Sunset and Timberell. Valentine said the WCCCC Transportation Advisory Committee had reviewed and recommended approval at its March 5 meeting.
Vice Chair Mayor Pace called for a motion to approve the expenditure request; a member moved and another seconded. The committee passed the motion by voice assent. The meeting transcript records multiple members saying “I” in favor but does not list individual roll-call votes or a numeric tally on the record.
Why it matters: the TDT is collected locally as a transportation system development charge on new development and is administered by jurisdictions; the committee has authority to review and approve jurisdictions expenditure requests and advise the county board. The funds are intended for transportation improvements that mitigate development impacts.
What the committee recorded: the Sherwood request was presented, recommended by TAC, moved, seconded and approved verbally. The transcript identifies Mayor Delane Cornelius as moving the motion; a second was recorded but the seconders name was not specified in the meeting record.
Next steps: project sponsors typically finalize design and then seek subsequent phases of funding as needed. WCCCCs approval allows Sherwood to proceed with the TDT-funded elements described in the request. The committee did not record a schedule or implementation assignee on the public record during the meeting.
