VI. RATIFICATION OF METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION (MWMC) FY88 BUDGET e City Manager Micheal Gleason said about 80 percent of the MWMC budget was presented to a Budget Subcommittee as the operating cost of the wastewater treatment plant. About 20 percent of the MWMC budget will provide a sludge site. He said the MWMC recommended approval of the budget. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to ratify the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget for FY88. Answering a question from Mayor Obie, Mr. Gleason said the MWMC budget is supported by the regional sewer charge which has been adopted by the Lane County Board of Supervisors and the Springfield City Council. If the Eugene City Council does not adopt the budget, the MWMC will have to reconsider its budget. He said the regional sewer rate does not affect the local rate. Mr. Bennett, the council1s representative on the MWMC, said he reviewed the budget. Mr. Holmer said the budget indicates the regional monthly sewer charge for a single-family dwelling will increase from $4.52 to $4.77 but the council was told earlier in the evening the charge will increase from $4.61 to $4.91. Mr. Whitlow responded that the flow based rate calculations for Eugene and Springfield are different. He discussed the differences and said he could present exact figures to the council on June 10.

Mayor Obie said the item will be held over until June 10, 1987. VII.
