CentralServices <br />Finance & Court Services <br />Budget Office <br />City of Eugene <br />860 West Park Street, Suite 300 <br />M <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br />(541) 682-5021 <br />(541) 682-5802 FAX <br />www.ci.eugene.or.us <br />September 19, 2001 <br />Date: <br />MayorTorreyand Members of the City Council <br />To: <br />The Citizen Members of the Eugene Budget Committee <br />From: <br />Final Recommendation on Transportation Funding Issues <br />Subject: <br />On July 11, 2001, we submitted to you our interim conclusions and report on the City?s transportation <br />system funding issues (?Transportation System Funding Interim Report?, dated June 2001). At that time, <br />we shared with you our conclusion that significant additional funding from one or more new, City- <br />controlled revenue source is neededin the near future if Eugene is to preserveour investment in <br />transportation system infrastructure. <br />We also communicated to you a number of other interim conclusions, based on our study and <br />discussions, as follows: <br />In the face of projected O&M funding shortfalls and service reductions beginning in FY03, <br />C <br />ensuring adequate funding for the of the City?s <br /> operation and maintenance activities <br />transportation system is absolutely essential. <br />The most important capital funding needs to be addressed are in the <br />backlog of preservation <br />C <br />, with estimated annual funding needs of $8.5 million <br />work on roads and off-street bike paths <br />for roads and $425,000 for off-street bike paths. <br />Providing adequate funding for is critical to prevent <br />ongoing annual preservation activity <br />C <br />preservation backlogs from accumulatingin the future. <br />The subcommittee?s current consensus is that, in order to accomplish these priority objectives, <br />C <br />the appropriate . <br />level of new revenue needed is $9 million annually <br />The two funding measures which most closely conform to the subcommittee?s guiding principles <br />C <br />while also generating sufficient revenue to address the priority objectives are: <br />the, with a projected annual yield of $7.7 million; <br />Transportation Utility Fee <br />C <br />a small, with a projected annual yield of $1.3 <br />local motor vehicle fuel tax <br />C <br />million. <br />We strongly support and encourage cooperative efforts with the City ofSpringfield for the <br />C <br />regional implementation of any new revenue source for transportation funding. <br />Finally, we suggested that, prior to issuing our final recommendation to the Council, <br />an independent <br /> for the purpose of issuing a report based on a critical <br />review be conducted by an external consultant <br />examination of the pavement condition analysis and preservation backlog estimates which were integral <br />to our study and conclusions. <br />That study was undertaken for the purpose of obtaining an independent, expert opinion as to the accuracy <br />
