He will seek our comments on the <br /> draft Scope of Work and any additional input and instructions, etc. <br /> ¦ Eugene and Springfield staff need to define the "us" who will meet with him and we will do that very <br /> quickly so that he is not delayed. As of now, Eugene staff will be lead on this project. <br /> ¦ Milo will complete the application, then will meet with us again for final review before submittal. I told Milo <br /> that our goal should be to get it submitted in time for the Feb 2"d County meeting that Faye alluded to <br /> during this morning's MWMC meeting, if possible. <br /> ¦ Milo concurred that the application must say the funding will pay for City staff costs, as well as for <br /> consultants otherwise, the Cities won't accept the money or proceed with the work. <br /> ¦ MWMC's role is to facilitate the two Cities' getting the money and hiring consultant(s) in an expeditious <br /> and efficient manner, but the work is being done by the Cities in an attempt to refine the Cities' charge <br /> for Coburg to hook up to the metro system. Milo said that if for any reason MWMC cannot continue in <br /> its facilitative role, LCOG can step in in such a role and can probably provide very expeditious and <br /> efficient procurement of services. I thanked Milo for that offer and said we'll keep it in mind but that <br /> LCOG is generally perceived by the Cities to "be" Coburg on this issue, so the Cities might perceive <br /> LCOG's participation to not be appropriate. <br /> ¦ Milo hopes that the Cities and MWMC end up using Debbie Galardi. <br /> ¦ Milo hopes that Coburg (anyone not from the Cities of Eugene and Springfield working for Coburg or on <br /> Coburg's behalf) can. be "involved" enough such when the final number is derived those Coburg people <br /> can say that Coburg concurs with the number and the way it was derived. <br /> ¦ I hope for the same result and that Coburg can be "involved" but warned that if Coburg is perceived to be <br /> "too participative" in the derivation of the number, it is possible that the Cities might view Coburg's <br /> participation as "interterence" and it might render the work and its product less credible to the Cities. I <br /> said the Cities already know what Coburg's suggested range is and it is a relatively small range, so this <br /> particular work effort is not to refine Coburg's number but to refine the Cities' rather large range down <br /> to a small range or a specific number. So, we'll want to find an acceptable and balanced way for <br /> Coburg to be involved. <br /> I yield to you guys to decide who we want to meet with Milo to guide his writing of the application. <br /> i <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I. <br /> <br /> 1/30/2006 <br /> <br />
