Mr. Kelly suggested that adoption of the project list first would provide a better gauge by which to create a more accessible methodology. Mr. McVey said the downside of delaying the adjustment was that it would negatively impact the required revenue to build the capacity that was anticipated. He added that staff was trying to meet the commitment to the Lane County Home Builders Association to complete the review and adopt the new SDCs by July 1. Mr. Jewett stated that the actual numbers, based on the facilities plan and the 20-year project list, were available and the commission had adopted both the plan and the list including the cost and the allocations of the cost between the various components. He stressed that those numbers could be applied to the proposed methodology as it stood and would provide real results. Mr. Kelly asked why the numbers, if known, were not embedded in the methodology. Mr. Jewett responded that the statute did not require it. He related that the statute placed the SDCs in a different place from systems methodology. He said there was not consistent treatment of all the terms. Mr. Pap~ also found the methodology difficult to comprehend. He thought Mr. Kelly made a good point, in terms of presentation to the public. He suggested adopting the 20-year plan first and then working on educating the public in regard to the proposed SDC methodology. Ms. Bettman recommended that staff take some example developments and work out what the SDC would be for them on paper in order to clarify the methodology for councilors. The meeting adjourned at 1:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Dennis M. Taylor City Manager (Recorded by Ruth Atcherson) MINUTES--Eugene City Council May 19, 2004 Page 5 Work Session
