<br />Councilor Solomon asked why the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) had not <br />requested the entire $196 million necessary to complete the 38 projects on the list when its borrowing <br />authority was originally approved. Wastewater Division Director Peter Ruffier replied that he was not <br />certain, but the initial request for $100 million to support the Facilities Plan was based on engineering <br />estimates and costing, and MWMC hoped that the revenue bonds plus user rates and a revolving loan fund <br />would be sufficient, but there was an expectation that additional borrowing authority might be necessary. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon asked if projects were on budget and on time. Mr. Ruffier replied that the Facilities Plan was <br />re-costed in 2006, going from $144 million to $196 million in estimated costs. He said the experience over <br />the past two years was that projects were coming in on time and under budget. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Lynn Taylor) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council April 20, 2009 Page 9 <br /> Public Hearing <br />
