STATUS OF PRIORITY PROJECTS This quarterly report on the status of priority project provides a description of the current status of the Agency-sponsored projects. This status report covers the period of April through June 2007 (see Attachment A). It includes project descriptions, a status update, anticipated milestones and next steps, and the development partner for over 100 projects. The next quarterly status report will cover the period of July through September 2007 and will be issued in late October. The Chief Operating Officer has been working with the Regional Administrators to develop a new format for the quarterly reports. The new format will include photos or renditions of projects, project descriptions, a status of the projects, anticipated milestones in the next quarter, total development costs, community benefits, and job generated. R-f REPORT TO AGENCY COMMISSIONERS ON QUARTERLY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF PRIORITY PROJECTS AUGUST 23, 2007 PURPOSE To report to the Agency Board of Commissioners on the status of Priority Projects approved for the FY2007 Work Program. REPORT In May 2006, a retreat was held with the Agency Board of Commissioners, Regional Administrators and project management staff. Topics discussed included the role of the Board, new Agency policy initiatives, Board priorities for the coming year, performance expectations and methods for measuring performance and the effective use of Agency staff and financial resources. One request of the Commissioners was to have an "Early View" process established so the Commissioners could be kept informed on the status of projects and programs on an ongoing basis. The current approach typically results in final recommendations being presented to the Board that are usually the end result extensive negotiations between staff and a developer or property owner over an extended period of time. By not being kept abreast of the status of major projects, the Board believed that it impeded a more careful and thorough consideration of the staff's recommendations. The Commissioners expressed a desire to be kept informed of the progress on major projects, including any obstacles or impediments that may have been encountered that could result in significant delays. In response to the Commissioners request, a report has been prepared that provides a description of the current status of the Priority Projects as identified in the Agency's Work Program and Budget This status report covers the period of April through June 2007 (see Attachment A). The Chief Operating Officer has been working with the Regional Administrators to develop a new format for the Quarterly Reports to the board. The new format will include photos or renditions of projects, project descriptions, a status of the projects, anticipated milestones in the next quarter, total development costs, community benefits, and job generated. Future quarterly reports will be provided at the second Agency Board meeting following the end of the each quarter. Cecilia V.
