CITY OF LINCOLN CITY <br />Lincoln City St. Fund Revenue FY 05-06 <br />~ seo,ooo ~° <br />~$366,000~ <br />$916,OD0 <br />(] Other Revenue <br />Locally-Raised Revenue <br />Use of any general fund revenue for street <br />maintenance is infeasible due to the detrimental <br />impacts it would have on public safety, library, and <br />other key city services that have already endured <br />significant cutbacks in recent years. <br />Lincoln City has other infrastructure needs that <br />compete with funding for street maintenance and <br />repair. The city needs to reconstruct and expand the <br />sewer treatment plant, replace and upgrade several <br />key sewer/stormwater lift stations, bring an <br />additional water source on line, and site and <br />construct additional water reservoirs. <br />1 State Shared Revenue In order to provide additional resources or <br />maintenance and repair, the city has recently <br />updated its transportation master plan (TMP) and increased systems development charges. The <br />transportation master plan has helped the city identify the needs of the city's street system, and <br />the SDCs have helped alleviate the street fund by minimizing the impact of growth. However, <br />there is still a substantial unmet funding need. <br />Lincoln City's Critical Street Project List: <br />1.

Lowell is considering local funding options for its <br />current maintenance budget shortfall, but would have to charge a street utility fee of $15 per <br />month for every household just to cover the loss of county funding. <br />LOWELL QUICK FACTS <br />• 2006 Population: 955 <br />• Funding Need: An additional $34,000 annually is needed to <br />maintain Lowell's 10 lane miles. <br />• Local Economy: Limited Commercial and Industrial -the <br />community would like to expand the city's local economic base. <br />The city of Lowell is struggling to fund needed street projects on its l O lane miles of city streets. <br />Most of Lowell's streets are at a critical point, needing overlays in order to extend the life of the <br />streets. <br />In fiscal year 2005-06, the city received only $44,152 in state transportation funds distribution. In <br />previous years, Lane County has also contributed funding for city street maintenance through a <br />Road Partnership Agreement. With the county funding assistance, the city was able to provide <br />bare minimum levels of routine and emergency maintenance and fund a half time employee for <br />streets. Because of the potential loss of federal funding, and Lane County's own transportation <br />funding shortfalls, the. county will cease <br />these distributions in fiscal year 2007-08. <br />The loss of the county's $66,703 <br />distribution will represent a 61 percent <br />revenue decrease in Lowell's 2007-08 <br />"' ~ ~~ ~ ' ~ street fund. <br />N .~. <br />;~ .< <br />^, <br />F~ . <br />While primary access to Lowell is on <br />Highway 58, there are no state or federal <br />highways located within the city, The <br />city has adopted urban standards for street <br />construction that are required of all new <br />development, however, the majority of <br />existing city streets, including most of the <br />county collector streets, were built years <br />ago to rural standards. <br />City Streets: Case Studies -Page 34 City Streets: Case Studies -Page 35 <br />
