The Facilities Plan will subsequently be submitted to the DEQ for formal review and approval. If the <br />DEQ requires changes, the Facilities Plan will be re-routed for additional consideration as needed. <br /> <br />Timing is also affected by the adoption of The MWMC FY 04-05 Budget and CIP which must go <br />through the established approval process with MWMC and the governing bodies. The budget and CIP <br />was adopted by the commission on May 6, 2004, and is scheduled for ratification at the City at Eugene <br />Council Meeting on May 24. <br /> <br />Finally, timing is also affected by the establishment of new regional wastewater user rates and Systems <br />Development Charges (SDC), which need to be adopted for FY 04-05 to provide adequate revenues for <br />MWMC operations, administration, and capital programs. The City of Eugene has a scheduled work <br />session on May 19, the public hearing on June 14, and council action on June 28 on the SDCs. <br /> <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve the motion to move forward with the process for concurrence with the MWMC Facilities <br /> Plan and 20-Year Project List as scheduled, to include the public hearing on June 14, 2004, and <br /> council action on June 28, 2004. <br />2. Provide the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission with specific guidance for revising <br /> the 2004 Facilities Plan and 20-Year Project List. <br /> <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City of Eugene concur with the MWMC Facilities Plan and 20-Year Project <br />List as adopted by MWMC on May 6, 2004. <br /> <br />Regional Wastewater Program staff has had significant ongoing involvement in the development of the <br />Facilities Plan and project list, and continual guidance from the commission, as well as input from <br />public hearings, during this year-long planning process. The "preferred" Alternative 5 approved by the <br />commission in the Facilities Plan has been identified as the most cost-effective plan as it has the lowest <br />capital costs to achieve permit compliance and maximizes the use and effectiveness of the existing <br />facilities. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
