DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY <br /> CORPS OF ENGINEERS, PORTLAND DISTRICT <br /> PO BOX 2946 <br /> REPLY TO THE PORTLAND OR 97208-2946 <br /> ATTENTION OF q~~ 3 1 2005 <br /> Planning, Programs, and Project t <br /> Management Division (1105) <br /> Ms. Sarah Medary <br /> Parks and Open Spaces Division <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 1802 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> RE: FY06 Funding for Metro GI Study <br /> Dear Ms. Medary, <br /> Under the conditions of the Feasibility Cost-sharing Agreement (FCSA) that the City of <br /> Eugene and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers entered into to conduct the Eugene-Springfield <br /> Metropolitan Waterways GI Study, we are required to apprise the study's three local sponsors of <br /> the expected study costs for each pending fiscal year. At that time we are also required under <br /> our agreement to request that the local sponsors provide their agreed share of local funding to <br /> meet this projected cost. <br /> This letter is that notification and request. We are currently forecasting a federal <br /> appropriation of $264,000 for this study in the coming fiscal year. Given this, and once we <br /> include the expected local in-kind services of all study sponsors that we have outlined in our <br /> Project Management Plan and other study documents, we believe we remain on track to utilize <br /> $100,000 in cash from the city of Eugene during the fiscal year which begins on October 1, <br /> 2005. This cash requirement has been previously coordinated together and will assure we are <br /> able to sustain our 50:50 cost-sharing balance in the study. <br /> Please make arrangements to furnish $100,000 in funding to the Corps in accordance <br /> with the timing specified in the FCSA. Under the agreement, the city has four options of the <br /> method for forwarding these funds to the Corps. If you have any questions about this or any <br /> other aspect of the study, please do not hesitate to contact me at (503) 808-4703 or <br /> Martin.L.Hudson(cr~,usace.army.mil, or Mr. Eric Bluhm at (503) 808-4759 or <br /> Eric.
