I would like to have:

 

R-6      RESOLUTION Approving the Multnomah-Washington Regional Investment Board 2001-2003 Regional Investment Plan Update

 

Removed from the agenda for decision on February 7, 2002.

 

Reasons include:

• We expect a change in overall funding level from the State based on special session—delay should make that effect clearer
• The Regional Investment Board should have opportunity to consider changes in priorities and procedure based on revised funding level
• Fiscal contract and Administrative costs are a percentage of the funds made available to the region.  Significant changes in overall funding may require different procedures be adopted by the Board due to reduced funds for Fiscal and Administrative costs

 

Washington County is also pulling the Plan from its agenda this week.  I plan to bring this back to the Board in March when there is clarity of direction on the above items.

 

Approval in March would allow enough time to submit the Plan updates and be on the agenda of the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department at their April meeting (along with Hood River/Clackamas County RIB)

 

Thank you

Steve Pearson
