Master Plan Prioritization
Plan
The Master Plan
Prioritization Plan is broken down into
major capital projects over $500k and
minor capital projects under $500k for budgeting purposes.
Prioritization
Plan
- Decision Making Matrix
The
major capital
projects were separated out from the
minor capital
projects to form two matrices. The decision making matrix consists
of categories that provide a comparison of all the projects. The
categories in the matrix including flooding, media coverage and
citizen complaints, damages, risk of life, maintenance problems,
water quality and cost. Each category was ranked based on the
opinion of the entire stormwater staff. Then each
category was weighed based on its relative importance in three
weighing scales (1-15; 1-10; and 1-5). Based on this comprehensive
evaluation, all the projects are ranked based on highest score. The
final ranking of all the projects was based on the 1 to 10 scale
which was determined to be a good middle range ranking system to the
other two scales.
This prioritization
plan can then be used for planning and budgeting for the next 10
years. The
major capital projects will be interchanged with the
minor capital projects as timing and funding become available.
Coordination with Public Works Engineering on road projects will also
be an important factor in determining the timing of each project as
many of the stormwater projects are along major roadways within the
City. All costs are preliminary, and most of them come from the
original 1986 master plan. Costs may need to be more refined, if
they land in the top five ranking, in order to prepare a better
number for budgetary purposes. The decision making matrix will be
re-evaluated every year based on new data and input.
