As I have <br /> watched this issue move through its evaluation stage with MWMC staff, I have .become <br /> concerned that the cost proposed to Coburg exceeds what other similar sized connections to the <br /> system are charged. <br /> As you conduct your review, could you take the time to compare the proposed costs for Coburg <br /> to other similar-sized private developments - be they large scale subdivisions or commercial uses <br /> such as hospitals - to make. sure Coburg would only be charged what has b~n the normal <br /> ractice in the communit . <br /> p <br /> Y <br /> As we know, Coburg just wants a fair shot at connecting if economically feasible, and if they are <br /> treated equally with other users. If it exceeds their means, then they are prepared to go on their <br /> own. But before we reach that determination, it would be great if they could see, through other <br /> examples, that the proposal from Eugene and Springfield match current practice. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Faye Stewart <br /> East Lane County Commissioner <br /> FS:BVVan <br /> c: Board of County Commissioners , <br /> Mayor Volta, City of Coburg <br /> r' <br /> PUBLIC SERVICE BUILDING / 125 EAST 8TH AVENUE /EUGENE, OR 97401 / (541) 682-4203 /FAX (541) 682-4616 <br /> _ _ _ <br /> <br />
