ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-05--07 <br /> of the <br /> City Manager of the City of Eugene <br /> CONCERNING NOTICE OF INTENDED AMENDMENT OF <br /> FEES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PRIVATELY <br /> CONSTRUCTED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND <br /> REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-04-14-F <br /> The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br /> A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to <br /> determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City far services, goods, use of <br /> municipal property, and licenses and permits. <br /> B. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and the further authority of <br /> Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, I intend to amend the Engineering Services Fee <br /> Schedule that was adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-04-14-F on August 6, 2004, by <br /> increasing the fees as set forth in the Notice of Intended Increase in Engineering Services Fee <br /> Schedule attached as Exhibit A. The fee increases aze necessary in order to recover the full cost <br /> of engineering services for each classification of engineering employee. The proposed fees have <br /> been calculated after the annual review of the costs of providing engineering services. <br /> C. In determining the proposed fees set forth in Exhibit A, I have considered the <br /> applicable policies, enactments and directives of the City Council, the amount chazged for these <br /> services by the City in the past, the full costs of providing these services supported by the fees, <br /> the amounts charged by other comparable providers, and the revenue needs of the City as <br /> determined by the adopted City budget. In addition, the fee amendments are necessary in order <br /> to comply with the requirements of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, that the fees <br /> charged cover the costs, including overhead, of engineering, inspection and review services <br /> performed by the city on all private or public improvements not engineered by the city. <br /> On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br /> 1. Copies of the Notice attached as Exhibit A be provided to the Mayor and City <br /> Councilors, posted at two locations at City Hall, and be made available for review by interested <br /> persons at the offices of the City Manager, 777 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during <br /> normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays); <br /> and a copy of the Notice attached as Exhibit B, which identifies those fees that are $250 or <br /> greater, be published in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City. <br /> 2. All persons desiring to comment on the fee amendments shall submit written <br /> comments as set forth in the Notice. After expiration of the comment period, I will establish by <br /> administrative order the fees as proposed or as modified in response to the comments received, <br /> incorporate any unamended fees established by Administrative Order No. 58-04-14-F into the <br /> new fee schedule, and repeal Administrative Order No. 58-04-14-F. <br /> <br /> Administrative Order -Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
