Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to determine <br /> <br /> ~ and set fees and chazges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, <br /> and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and the further <br /> authority of Section 7.300 of the Eugene Code,1971,right-of--way use permit fees have previously <br /> been established, the most recent being adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-0 l -18-F on January <br /> 30, 2002. <br /> B. The Utility Permit Program has an objective to recover the full costs associated with <br /> permitting and inspection. Fees necessary to achieve a phased full cost recovery were calculated by <br /> City staff and set forth in Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 58-01-18-F. <br /> C. The adopted Utility Right-of--Way Use Permit Fees schedule establishes fees for <br /> individual site specific permits and annual blanket permits. Providers that aze franchised or licensed <br /> by the City may obtain an annual blanket permit for individual service line installations, minor <br /> repairs to existing facilities, routine maintenance functions and similar minor recurring activities. <br /> The annual blanket facilities permit does not cover the installation of facilities for expansion or <br /> upgrade beyond the activities specifically addressed in the blanket permit. A site specific permit is <br /> required for all other work activities in the public way not covered under a valid blanket permit. <br /> D. The fees established for individual site specific permits were calculated to recover <br /> the City's costs in processing individual permit applications. These calculations are based on <br /> historic cost date; however, the calculations did not take into account specific activities related to <br /> I', large projects involving the installation of or replacement of primarily aerial facilities only. Staff <br /> has therefore recommended that the Utility Right-of--Way Use Permit Fee Schedule be amended to <br /> axld a section that establishes aper-foot fee for the portion exceeding 26,400 feet (5.0 miles) of <br /> I'~ specific projects that involve the installation or replacement of primarily aerial facilities only. <br /> <br /> { Projects that involve primarily aerial facilities only that are less than 26,400 feet would remain <br /> subject to the existing fee schedule. <br /> <br /> ~ " E. I have reviewed and concur with the staff's recommendations. The proposed fee set <br /> Administrative Order - 1 <br /> r:\adminord\fees\02utilityrowla0.wpd(09/16/02 <br /> <br />
