She added a grant authority <br />request from the Green Building Division to the agenda. <br /> <br /> <br />United Front Projects for 2008 <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson said that Congress was currently operating under a continuing resolution and working on an $11 <br />billion reduction to an omnibus appropriation bill in order to avoid a veto; that reduction would result in <br />removal of almost all earmarks from the bill. She said that could impact Eugene because some of the <br />projects on the current and proposed United Front project lists would not be funded of earmarks were <br />eliminated. <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson noted that some of the projects on the 2007 United Front list had not yet been funded because of <br />the continuing resolution. She said under the City's policy projects remained on the list until they were <br />funded or it was obvious they would not receive funding, which meant the 2007 projects, with one exception, <br />would remain on the 2008 list and several new projects were proposed for addition to the list. She said that <br />the West Bank Trail Extension project was recommended for removal from the list because Congressman <br />Peter DeFazio had objected to its inclusion as a United Front priority and suggested the City seek funding <br />through the State for that project. She said it was the CCIGR's decision whether to remove the project from <br />the list. <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson reviewed the suggested 2008 United Front list: <br /> <br />? <br /> Delta Ponds (update) <br />? <br /> Metro Waterways General Investigative Study (update) <br />? <br /> FAA Reauthorization (update) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations December 12, 2007 Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
