Thanks. Also, byway of updating on Coburg, the unfortunate answer is, with everything else going on and Gary's week and a half elk hunting trip, it's going slow. The direction we left with was to report back to SEL in a month with the next level of identification of scope, resource needs, and timing for the expanded list of issues that have cost implications. Gary and I will meet by the end of this week after he's had the opportunity to look at it closely. We hope to get back to SEL in December, however, 12/10 may be overly ambitious. It may be your following meeting. I'm hoping that SEL will decide at the next discussion when a JEO meeting might be scheduled. I'm really hoping we can handle the MWMC IGA updates as a minor item with the individual governing bodies. With the blessings of the legal counsels and CEO's, I hoping this MWMC matter could be considered to be obvious common sense stuff that needs to be fixed, and that it manages to escape controversy (OK, so I'm wearing my rose colored glasses today.) Coburg will be controversial and I expect it will be protracted. If we were to have Coburg and IGA stuff on a common agenda of the JEO, I think it would be difficult to get them to focus on the need for expeditious clean up of the IGA completely separate from the Coburg matter. Anyway, that's just my two cents.

If your Eugene counterparts will just let me know that Dennis/Jim are OK with this topic for 12/10, I will ask George Kloeppel to schedule the item. Regarding Coburg, where will we be in the analysis by December 10t"? Have we scheduled a time for a JEO meeting to discuss this matter? Should your proposed "housekeeping": items_also be discussed with the JEO?

One of the things regional wastewater program staff, legal counsels from MWMC and Eug, Spr and LC, and the new MWMC Financial Advisor have been working on (for way too long) is a substantial set of mostly "housekeeping" revisions to the MWMC IGA. We actually started this process in 1999, and have gotten to the point where we need to get certain amendments adopted in order to move forward with the financing plan necessary to fund the MWMC facilities (ie issuance of revenue bonds in July 2005). Dave Jewett is finalizing the multi-jurisdictional review by legal counsel right now, so when the proposed revisions get to SEL, they will have had complete legal review. I understand that December 10 will be the last SEL meeting of the year, and I'm hoping we could get 20 minutes on the agenda to review the changes and seek SEL's approval to move forward to MWMC and the governing bodies, as well as strategic guidance for processing the changes this coming winter. I believe we will be able to get the draft to SEL members early so that you all will have the opportunity to review any questions/issues with legal counsel before hand (that's probably the only way we can handle this item in 20 minutes). A few things to ponder: 12/21/2004
