the terminal. In future years, expected projects include a de-icing collection system and expansion of the terminal building. Major projects are also anticipated over the next six years in the Public Buildings and Facilities category. The approximately $51 million of funded projects in this category are mainly for preservation and maintenance of existing City facilities and Phase 1 of the City Hall replacement projects. The Budget Committee has recommended that Phase 1 of City Hall Replacement be combined with Phase 2 and reflected as an unfunded project in FY09. The City's wastewater system is scheduled for almost $12.5 million of improvements in the next few years. Included in these improvements is $8.5 million to preserve and rehabilitate the aging wastewater system, decrease inflow and infiltration and address increased wet weather flows. Over $7 million of improvements to the stormwater system are planned in this CIP. The restoration effort includes a partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other metro agencies to complete projects that may include restoration of portions of Amazon Creek and salmon habitat restoration. Also included are restoration and enhancement of the wetlands in West Eugene. Finally, the Parks and Open Space program is anticipating about $13 million of improvements during the CIP period. Because the Draft Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Comprehensive Plan is still being reviewed, the CIP does not include any unfunded projects. The complete list of Parks, Recreation, and Open Space CIP projects will be included in future CIP documents. Unfunded Projects Also included in the CIP are projects totaling $227 million for which funding has not been identified. As drafted, the Public Buildings and Facilities category includes $131 million of these unfunded projects. The largest project in this category is the consolidation of general City services in Phase 2 of City Hall Replacement. If the council accepts the Budget Committee's recommendation to combine the City Hall replacement projects, the amount of unfunded projects will increase by approximately $29 million. Transportation projects continue to reflect significant need for additional funding. The CIP includes approximately $67 million of unfunded projects that would upgrade and enhance capacity and preserve and maintain existing assets, as well as build new bike paths, collectors and other improvements. The Stormwater and Wastewater categories identified a total of approximately $29 million of unfunded projects. CIP Development and Review During the summer and early fall of even numbered years, staff compiles the Draft CIP using input and requests from a variety of sources, including neighborhood groups, individual citizens, adopted plans and policies, etc. On December 13, 2004, the Planning Commission held a work session on the Draft CIP. Staff responded to questions from commissioners regarding projects at the Airport, the proposed Patterson Street Underpass, the location of the proposed replacement of City Hall and the status L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050307\S0503074.doc
