Box 2946 <br /> Portland, OR 97208-2946 <br /> RE: FY 06 Funding for Metro GI Study <br /> Dear Mr. Hudson, <br /> The City of Eugene is enthusiastic about the Metro GI Study and the partnership and <br /> relationships that are continuing to develop as we take a detailed look at our local waterways. <br /> As a new member of the team, I have been especially appreciative of the efforts made by your <br /> staff and LCOG to transition and educate me on this visionary study. <br /> I am pleased to hear that you are forecasting a federal appropriation of $264,000 and have <br /> included the City of Eugene's cash contribution of $100,000 with this letter. It is my <br /> understanding that the local match has continued to grow with our increased coordination and <br /> efforts. While this is great news for our community, it is my hope that the federal appropriation <br /> will also grow to build an even stronger project. Currently, staff is proposing to include this <br /> project in our FY 07 United Front lobbying package. I will be contacting you later this fall to <br /> schedule a trip to Portland to coordinate our request with the Portland District. <br /> look forward to continuing work with you and your staff as we move through the next year of <br /> our work plan. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I can be reached at (541) 682-4842 <br /> or my cell (541)514-0309. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sarah J. Medary <br /> Natural Resources Manager <br /> <br />
