Delta Highway <br /> Eugene OR 97408-1696 <br /> An item of interest in developing this years Capital Improvement Program is reflected in leaving the last year (FY <br /> 2005-2006) mostly blank. Recent federal legislation, specifically the Rural Schools and Community Self <br /> Determination Act of 2000, provides Lane County with continued funding from in-lieu of payments for federal <br /> timber receipts. This funding is greater than the levels anticipated under the previous timber receipt guarantee. <br /> Over the next six years, these funds should exceed the County operation, preservation and modernization <br /> expenses identified and programmed in the Road Fund FinPlan and Capital Improvement Program. This <br /> presents a unique opportunity for the County to develop a capital project partnership with ODOT and/or cities to <br /> fund projects other than on county roads. <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS • 3040 NORTH DELTA HIGHWAY • EUGENE, OREGON 97408-1696.541/ 682-6900 • FAX 541/ 682-8799 <br /> <br />
