City of Boca Raton Stormwater Management Master PlanPart I – Task 3 ReportE. Meetings with Advisory BoardsCity Staff contacted the Environmental, Financial and Marine advisory boards to schedule meetings topresent the draft stormwater management master plan (including the conceptual improvement projects).The Environmental Advisory Board decided not to conduct a meeting at this time. The FinancialAdvisory Board also made the decision that at this stage, there was no need to review the plan with them.A meeting with the Marine Advisory Board was held on March 5, 2008. A presentation of the draftstormwater management master plan was made, questions were answered, and there was discussionregarding water quality improvement programs by the City.F. Prioritization of Proposed ProjectsOne of the tasks requested by the City was the prioritization of the proposed conceptual projects. In orderto accomplish this, a criteria list and associated scoring system was developed. The system wasdeveloped based on methods and systems created by other entities around the country (primarilymunicipalities) that carried out the same task of ranking planned stormwater improvement projects. Thescoring system was reviewed with City staff and modified as requested to best meet the City’s needs.The City will use the prioritized conceptual projects list in conjunction with the conceptual costestimates, and an understanding of the funding and resources available, to determine an implementationschedule for the conceptual projects.Each criterion in the list was assigned a weight from 1 to 5, based on its relative importance to the othercriteria on the list. The weight value factors into the total score that each project receives.Within each criterion, possible descriptions for existing conditions (pre-improvement) were listed andassigned a relative value from 1 to 10, based on relative significance to the other descriptions. Thecriteria and scoring values are presented in the following table:L:\boca\bocaswmp\A6016.03\rp02accm.docPage 59MOCK•ROOS
