Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Weighted scoring for each prioritization category recognizes that each category serves distinct <br />needs and priorities emphasized in the One Pleasanton Strategic Plan and the Community <br />Surveys. The weighted scores were compared with reviewed programs and are in alignment <br />with other agencies' weighted scores. <br /> <br />Category 1 weighted score was allocated 21 maximum points, which is one additional point <br />compared to the other highest-scoring categories to reflect the community’s top prioritization in <br />the community survey for public health and safety. In addition, it acknowledges the need to <br />comply with state and federal requirements to ensure it does not impact funding and grant <br />opportunities. <br /> <br />1. Health, Safety & Regulatory Compliance <br />This category emphasizes projects that enhance emergency preparedness, protect public <br />health and safety, ensure compliance with legal and regulatory mandates, and address <br />consent decrees. Projects in this category aim to improve public well-being, prevent injury <br />or harm, and meet the requirements of state and local regulatory agencies. An example of <br />a high-scoring project in this category is replacing a fire station to accommodate new fire <br />trucks, ensuring improved emergency response capabilities. <br /> <br />Categories 2 and 6 are allocated 20 maximum points to prioritize projects that collaborate and <br />have partnerships or grant funds that leverage existing funding. In addition, it highlights the <br />importance of maintaining investments in the existing infrastructure to provide the necessary <br />capital improvement to prevent higher replacement costs in the future. <br /> <br />2. Partnerships, Collaboration & Grants <br />This category prioritizes projects that leverage grant funding or create opportunities for <br />future grants. It also focuses on initiatives that benefit broader community groups and <br />populations. Examples of high-scoring projects in this category are the Regional <br />Groundwater Facilities Project in partnership with Zone 7 and the West Las Positas <br />Multimodal Reconstruction Project, where nearly half the project cost is supported by state <br />funding. <br />Page 302 of 893
