Wastewater Utility Fund Public Works Department: ? Remove the proposed right-of-way fee payment of $691,100 to the General Fund for pass- through to the Road Fund. Stormwater Utility Fund Public Works Department: ? Remove the proposed right-of-way fee payment of $1,012,900 to the General Fund for pass- through to the Road Fund. Capital Budget Transportation Capital Fund ? Reduce the Transportation Capital budget by $1.4 million and transfer $1.4 million in gas tax revenues to the Road Fund, according to council action on April 27, 2009. Non-Departmental Budget General Fund ? Reduce the Contingency Account by $150,000 for one year in order to support a one-time $150,000 increase to the Human Services Commission contract. ? Remove the $1,704,000 transfer of utility right-of-way fees to the Road Fund, per council direction on April 27, 2009. Road Fund ? Reduce Balance Available by $749,000, reflecting the following four decisions: Eliminate $1,704,000 proposed right-of-way fee on City utilities (Wastewater and o Stormwater) passed through from the General Fund; Reduce the proposed transportation surcharge on solid waste haulers from 10% to 5%, a o reduction of $945,000. This action will impose a 5% transportation surcharge on solid waste haulers generating an estimated $900,000 for road maintenance and operations. All monies collected from the surcharge are to be designated to local streets for operations and maintenance. Should the City receive any extra road funding from the state or other sources during FY10, that money should be used first to offset the fees as a priority in order to rescind the surcharge. (Note: Subsequent action by the City Council eliminating the surcharge has occurred, necessitating an amendment to the Road Fund budget. See the City Manager’s Recommendation.) Transfer $100,000 from the local Wastewater Utility Fund and $400,000 from the o Stormwater Utility Fund to the Road Fund for support of operations and maintenance. Direct $1.4 million of local gas tax revenue to the Road Fund and reduce $1.4 million in o revenues and spending from the Transportation Capital Fund. Facilities Services Fund ? Eliminate the $1.0 million transfer in FY10 from the Facility Reserve to the Road Fund to be used for filling potholes on city streets and create an intergovernmental expenditure of $1.0 million to Lane County for use in re-opening jail beds. The County will provide $2.2 million in matching funds to open 84 jail beds. Lane County will return $1.0 million to the City of Eugene from its Road Fund for patching potholes in city streets.
