LANE COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
<br />Restrictions on logging since the early 1990's have resulted in a severe reduction in timber
<br />harvests on national forest lands. This, in turn, created the prospect of significant revenue
<br />reductions for counties. Congress enacted legislation in the late 1990's that provided a
<br />guaranteed minimum payment in the event that actual receipts dropped below a predetermined
<br />level. This guarantee has been modified and extended under the Secure Rural Schools and
<br />Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, providing adequate funding of the first two years of
<br />this CIP. If the guarantee does not continue, projects listed in the last three fiscal years of
<br />this CIP may not be funded.
<br />OVERVIEW
<br />The total programmed expenditure for County projects is about $80,000,000 including
<br />contingencies. The increase shown in the Pavement Fund is due to increasing the annual amount
<br />given to Overlays and Rehabilitation from $2,300,000 to $3,000,000. Also, an overlay project
<br />partially funded with Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds is shown in this
<br />category. Further expenditures include, $17,100,000 in Payments to Other Government
<br />Agencies for road purposes, consisting of the Road Partnership payments that are authorized
<br />under annual agreements renewed at the Board of County Commissioner's discretion. The
<br />increased expenditure under this category is partially due to a $2,500,000 local match for
<br />improvements to the Interstate 5 interchange at Coburg as well as a local match for
<br />transportation improvements related to the Wayne Morse Federal Courthouse in Eugene. The
<br />program also anticipates just over $3,100,000 for Roads for Assisted Housing Projects in Lane
<br />County. The County continues in its effort to replace priority fish passage culverts and has
<br />included a category under the CIP for this work funded at $1,000,000 over the next five years.
<br />The Community Development Road Improvement Assistance Program is funded at $670,000 with
<br />no additional funds available for future projects. Total expenditures are estimated to be just over
<br />$107,000,000 through the five fiscal years covered in this CIP.
