Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Budget Message <br /> ` BUDGET MESSAGE <br /> <br /> j METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION MEMBERS: <br /> Introduction <br /> <br /> i <br /> Consistent with the Intergovernmental Agreement, I am presenting a proposed budget for FY 00- <br /> O1 that funds operations, administrative services, and capital projects planned for the Regional <br /> Wastewater Program's (RWP) collection and treatment facilities. The administrative services <br /> and capital projects components of the budget are reflected in the regionally funded portions of <br /> the City of Springfield's Environmental Services Division, Public Works Administration and <br /> Finance Department budgets. The operations, maintenance, equipment replacement, and major <br /> _ , rehabilitation components are reflected in the regionally funded portions: of the City of Eugene's <br /> Wastewater Division budget. The FY 00-01 budget, as proposed, can be fully funded through <br /> j revenues projected at existing regional sewer user rates, which average $8.78 per month for the <br /> typical residential user. <br /> The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) portion of the budget for FY 00-01 includes funding <br /> for acquisition, design and construction for the proposed dedicated land application site on <br /> Awbrey Lane, completion of remodel of the analytical laboratory at the WPCF, and <br /> implementation of the Wet Weather Flow Management Plan. Funds for capital projects that <br /> were initiated and budgeted in FY 99-00 will be carried over into FY 00-01 as needed to support <br /> actual project schedules. Other Capital,Programs, including Major Rehabilitation and <br /> Equipment Replacement, also are fully funded in the proposed FY 00-O1 budget. <br /> Budget Hi~hli~hts <br /> • Staffing levels for the proposed budget remain stable with an overall decrease of 3.37 FTE. <br /> The Eugene Wastewater Division will have a decrease of 3.27. This will result from the <br /> reallocation of regional operations and Seasonal Industrial Waste (SIW) staffing to <br /> local/stormwater programs. Springfield Environmental Services Division staff dedicated to <br /> the RWP will decrease by .2 FTE also due to reallocations. to local stormwater programs and <br /> Springfield Finance staff dedicated to the RWP will increase by .l FTE. No reductions in <br /> services or .levels of service are proposed. Overall, Springfield personnel services costs in <br /> the proposed FY 00-01 budget reflect a 2% increase o~~r FY 99-00. Eugene personnel <br /> services costs will increase 3%. <br /> • The proposed FY 00-O1 materials and services budget reflects a 2% decrease over the FY 99- <br /> 00 budget. The proposed Eugene Wastewater Division FY 00-01 materials and services <br /> budget is 3% above FY 99-00. The proposed Springfield Environmental Services Division <br /> materials and services budget reflects an 11 % decrease over FY 99-00. <br /> The proposed FY 00-01 budget includes several contributions to MWMC reserves. The <br /> contribution to Equipment Replacement Reserves will include $674,908 for major stationary <br /> equipment, vehicles and computers. The contribution is intended to build reserves over the <br /> projected life of equipment sufficient to provide full replacement funding.
