CITY OF EUGENE <br /> INTER - DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM <br /> CITY ATTORNEY — CIVIL DEPARTMENT <br /> To: J. R. Medlin (APR 1 2 31991 Date: April 26, 1990 <br /> ( r <br /> Subject: Vegetation Abatement Rates <br /> We have reviewed the Vegetation Management Program Cost <br /> Analysis that you submitted, and we find it entirely adequate to <br /> support the rate structure that you have recommended to the City <br /> Manager. <br /> The origin of this review was the decision by a hearings <br /> officer that the previous rates were not supported by a <br /> demonstrated connection between the program costs and the rates. <br /> Your extensive analysis fully supports the rates you recommend. <br /> As we have discussed on the telephone, your selection of the <br /> year 1989 as the base year for your calculations can be <br /> documented as an average or normal year. This will complete the <br /> picture by showing that these rates are not distorted by the <br /> selection of an unusual year. <br /> The use of this report should put an end to challenges to <br /> the rate structure for some time. <br /> If you have any questions on this matter, please contact us. <br /> HARRANG, LONG, WATKINSON, <br /> ARNOLD & LAIRD, P.C. <br /> Y id <br /> Milo R.
