_ ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-95-OS of the City Manager of the City of Eugene CONCERNING NOTICE OF PROPOSED INCREASE IN W STEWATER USER FEES AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-94-11-F The ity Manager of the Ciit;y of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 6.41 ] (formerly Section 7.020) of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manage to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for wastewater service and f r regional wastewater service. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, on June 23, 994, I adopted Administrative Order No. 58-94-ll-F establishing sewer user rates for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1994. li. Pursuant to Subsection 6.4 t 1(1) of the Eugene Code, 1971, I have conducted an investigation of the revenue needs of the City in providing these services and reviewed the recommends. ion of the Metropolitan 1~Vastewater Management Commission (MWMC). C. The MWMC has revised the method used to allocate costs among customer classes, and 1 as also reallocated costs between the flat monthly component of the MWMC fee and the flow based component of that fee. The customer service charges reconnnended by MWMC refl ct this revised cost allocation. D. Based on that investigation and recommendation, Iintend to revise the user fees for wastewat r service and regional wastewater treatment service as set forth in the Notice of Intended Fee attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and repeal the currently effe tive fees established by Administrative Order No. 58-94-11-F. I find the proposed fees are in c mpliance with the Council's directive that the costs of providing such services be recovered fro n the beneficiaries of the services, and other applicable policies and directives of the Council; re consistent with applicable.federal and state regulations and the recommendations of MWMC; re comparable to the amounts charged by the City of Springfield and other such service provi ers; will preserve equity between different classes of ratepayers; and are based on the proposed udget of the City of >;ugene and the adopted budget of MWMC. i On th basis of these findings, I order that: 1. Copies of the Notice be provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, the news media, any p rson who has requested notice, to interested governmental agencies (including the United State Environmental Protection Agency, tl,e Department of Environmental Quality, MWMC, and he Eugene Water & Electric Board), posted at two locations at City Hall, published on two separ to occasions in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, and be n ade available for interested persons at the offices of the Public Works Department, 858 Pearl Str et, Eugene, Oregon 97401., during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday thror gh Friday, exclusive of holidays).
