Staff: 2026 UPWP budget reduced to ~$300,000; amendment recommended
Summary
Staff told the policy board the first amendment to the 2026 Unified Planning Work Program reduces the UPWP budget from about $380,000 to about $300,000 to reflect staffing capacity; the board recommended approval after clarifying the changes are operations-related and not project-level.
Staff summarized Amendment 1 to the 2026 Unified Planning Work Program and noted the changes reflect operational adjustments to tasks and timelines.
Jeff (Staff member) explained that the amendment reduces the UPWP total budget "from around 380,000 to about 300,000." He described the revisions as operational — adjusted tasks and timelines based on current staff capacity — and said the changes would not affect specific projects. The amendment was open for public comment from July 17–31; no comments were received.
Board members clarified that the amendment covers MPO operations rather than capital project changes. The board moved, seconded, and recommended approval by roll call. The staff will finalize documents and circulate the UPWP amendment as required.
