ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-13-07-F <br />Public Works Department <br />City of Eugene, Oregon <br />that: <br />ADOPTION OF RULES FOR GOLDEN GARDENS PARK IN -WATER <br />DOG TRAINING PERMITS. <br />The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds <br />A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to adopt <br />rules for administration of provisions of the Eugene Code. Pursuant to the authority of <br />Administrative Order No. 21 -03 -12 issued by the City Manager, the Executive Director of the <br />Public Works Department is authorized to regulate City parks, protect park visitors and the park <br />environment, and adopt rules regarding the use of parks. <br />B. On June 17, 2013, I issued Administrative Order No. 58 -13 -07 proposing to adopt <br />Rules for Golden Gardens Park in -water dog training permits in order to establish a formal <br />permitting process and regulations for the in -water dog training activities taking place at Golden <br />Gardens Park. <br />C. Notice of the proposed adoption was given by making copies of the Notice that <br />was attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 58 -13 -07 available to all current <br />licensees, to any person who had requested such notice, and by publication of the Notice in the <br />Register Guard Newspaper on June 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28, 2013. The Notice provided that <br />written comments or objections to the proposed Rule be submitted within 15 days of the first <br />date of publication of the Notice. One e -mail comment and five telephone comments were <br />received in response to the Notice, to which I make the following findings: <br />Comments Received by Telephone All of the five telephone calls received were <br />questions about how the proposed rule would be applied to specific fact scenarios, and <br />requests for information, with one request for an application. <br />Finding Staff provided information to the callers in response to their requests. No <br />changes are being made to the Rule as a result of these questions. <br />Comment Received by E -Mail One e -mail comment was received voicing the opinion <br />that the requirement for proof of registration and rabies vaccination in order to receive a <br />permit is absurd. <br />Finding In order to provide for the safety of all park users and their dogs, the <br />requirement of licensing and rabies vaccination is needed. This same requirement also <br />applies to all other authorized off -leash dog uses in City of Eugene parks. No changes <br />are being made to the Rule as a result of this comment. <br />Administrative Order - Page 1 of 4 <br />
