URA tables prioritization; board asks for financial model and plans a work session
Summary
Board agreed to table prioritization until staff provides a four‑year forecast and a clearer cost list from Anne and Electra; members asked for a follow‑up work session to refine priorities and consider ranked choices informed by costs and staff time.
Electra introduced a survey intended to help the board prioritize URA projects. Board members said the current list was too long to rank without cost and staffing information. One member recommended reviewing a financial forecast that shows recurring obligations and available residual funds; staff said the current projection leaves about $170,000 available for new projects if existing commitments continue.
Members voted to table the prioritization exercise until Anne provides the financial forecast and asked staff to prepare a consolidated project list and work session. Several members suggested a ranked choice approach or a scored rubric that includes cost, staff time and likelihood of completion.
The board scheduled the next discussion as a work session after members have reviewed the forecast and the refined project list.
