1 <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-06-06 <br /> of the <br /> City Manager of the City of Eugene <br /> PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br /> MANUAL. <br /> The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br /> A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC) authorizes the City Manager to adopt <br /> rules for administration and implementation of any provisions of that Code. <br /> B. EC 9.6790, added to the Code by Ordinance No. adopted by the City Council <br /> on requires that the City Manager adopt, in accordance with EC 2.019, a Stormwater <br /> Management Manual. The Stormwater Management Manual may contain forms and facility <br /> agreements and shall include requirements that are consistent with delineated goals. <br /> C. Throughout the Stormwater Management Manual drafting process, the City provided <br /> numerous opportunities for citizen involvement. The City initiated the public involvement in 1999 <br /> when it convened afourteen-member Stormwater Department Advisory Committee (DAC) to <br /> provide feedback to the Eugene Public Works Department on the re,~ults of the Stormwater Basin <br /> Planning efforts. The 1999 DAC met from February 1999 through June 2000. The result of this <br /> long-term planning effort was called the proposed "stormwater management strategy," and included <br /> a capital project list, waterway protection measures and stormwater development standards. The <br /> 1999 DAC approved, with some modification, city staff's proposed stormwater management <br /> strategy. This stormwater management strategy served as the starting point for the Water Quality <br /> Implementation DAC Subcommittee (the 2005 DAC). <br /> D. City staff conducted broader public outreach from October 2000 through May 2001 <br /> on the proposed stormwater management strategy(i. e., capital proj ects list and proposed stormwater <br /> development standards) to receive further community feedback. This outreach included <br /> presentations to 10 neighborhood groups, as well as the Neighborhood Leaders Council, Long Tom <br /> Watershed Council, League of Women Voters, American Society of Landscape Architects and <br /> Oregon Landscape Contractors. <br /> E. The 2005 DAC was initiated in August 2005. The membership of the 2005 DAC <br /> included representatives of special interests (Chamber of Commerce, Lane County Home Builders' <br /> Association, Citizens for Public Accountability); technical expertise in architecture, engineering, site <br /> design, land use and the environment; and a neighborhood representative. The Committee met six <br /> times between August and November 2005 to review and provide input on the draft Stormwater <br /> Development Standards ordinance (August 8, August 25, October 3, October 25, October 31 and <br /> November 10). <br /> <br /> Administrative Order - 1 <br /> <br />
