These items are subsequently scheduled for council action on June 28, 2004. The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan, adopted by MWMC on May 6, 2004, is intended to address improvements of the regional wastewater facilities needed to meet community growth through 2025, state and federal requirements, and community expectations for protection of the public's health and safety and the environment. It is being forwarded to the City of Eugene for concurrence. BACKGROUND Council Action History The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) was established by an intergovernmental agreement (ICA) dated February 9, 1977, signed by the governing bodies of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County. The approved 1977 "208 Plan" for the construction of the Eugene- Springfield regional wastewater facilities set out the original projections, requirements, and projects to serve the wastewater treatment needs of the Eugene-Springfield community for a 20-year period. To address the peak flow capacity issues, the commission, the City of Eugene, and the City of Springfield adopted the Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP) in 2001. This plan remains the guiding policy document in setting the cities' annual Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for sanitary sewer rehabilitation and replacement, as well as the commission's capital improvements and operations for addressing peak flows to the regional wastewater facilities. The City Council ratified the MWMC FY04 Budget and CIP on May 12, 2003. The City Council had a work session on the 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan on May 19, 2004. At the May 24, 2004, City Council meeting, questions were raised concerning efforts toward public outreach and involvement activities.
