results of its study to the appropriate committees of the
Seventy-third Legislative Assembly on or before February 1, 2005.
(5) Funds made available to counties under ORS 366.524 may be
used to pay the expenses of the work group. The association may
enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Department of
Transportation to obtain the funds.

174.111, and the League of Oregon Cities are directed to assist
the work group in the performance of its duties and, to the
