<br />combines the portions of the City of Eugene and City of Springfield budgets that are dedicated to the <br />RWP. The commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed draft budget and subsequently <br />adopted it on April 20, 2006. The commission’s adopted budget is attached for City Council <br />consideration (see Attachment A). <br /> <br />This budget represents a 6% increase over the FY06 budget. During the April 20 meeting, the <br />commission also approved a 10% increase in the regional wastewater user rates. While the Personnel <br />Services and Materials and Services budgets will actually decrease overall, the rate increase is driven <br />primarily by the need to adequately fund reserves and debt service requirements associated with planned <br />execution of $40 million to $50 million in debt financing for capital projects in FY07. <br /> <br />Public notices and hearings have been provided with regard to the regional wastewater budget and rates <br />(see Attachment B). <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />1.
