li Response to Council Questions • How would we go about accommodating Coburg's request to be added to the MWMC Wastewater System? • How could we legally limit growth between the two UGB(s) and within Coburg's UGB if we added them? • Would it be possible to provide wastewater service to only their larger manufacturing companies within their current UGB? During the public hearing on the regional wastewater 2004 Facilities Plan and 20-year Project List testimony was given on the interest of the City of Coburg in joining the regional wastewater system. The intergovernmental agreement that established the regional wastewater system and the governing body of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) currently restricts the provision of services to the projected urban service area of the Eugene/Springfield metropolitan area, and restricts the MWMC to provide service only to the Governing Bodies. A change in these provisions of the IGA requires the unanimous consent of the Governing Bodies. It is clear that _ significant public policy issues would have to be addressed. in considering a change in the service boundaries of the MWMC. The Governing Bodies may initiate this discussion amongst themselves (in the MPC for example), or could request the MWMC to coordinate or manage the evaluation that would be necessary. In terms of the Council's consideration of the MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan and 20-Year Project List, action on the plan and project list will not preclude any future considerations of extending the service boundaries of the regional wastewater system to include the City of Coburg. The possible addition of Coburg to the system will not effect the phasing of the projects on the 20-Year Project List, and the design work for the projects has yet to be done therefore the addition of Coburg could be factored into the designs as they are developed.
