<br /> tl <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. ~8-94-I1 <br /> of the <br /> ~ City 1\lanager of the City of Eugene <br /> CONCERNING NOTICE OE .PROPOSED INCREASE IN <br /> j WASTE~~1'ATER USER FEES AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE <br /> ORDERS NO. 58-93-OG AND NO. 58-94-08 <br /> The City Manager of the City of Eugene ends as follows: <br /> A. Section 6.411 (formerly Section 7.020) of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the <br /> Ciry Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for wastewater <br /> service and for regional wastewater service. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, <br /> on May 15, 193 I adopted Administrative Order No. 58-93-06 establishing sewer user rates for <br /> the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1993 and ending June 30, 1994. <br /> i3. Notice of the proposed wastewater service charges to begin on July 1, 1994 was <br /> originaly provided by Administrative Order 58-94-08, dated May 1.7, 1994. Due to an error in <br /> publication of the Notice by the Register Guard, it is necessary to provide new Notice of the <br /> proposed wastewater charges and to reschedule the public hearing on those proposed charges. <br /> C. Pursuant to Subsection 6.41.1(1) of the Eugene Code, 1971, I have conducted an <br /> investigation of the revenue needs of the Ciry in providing these services and reviewed the <br /> recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC). <br /> D. Based on that investigation and recommendation, Iintend to increase the user fees <br /> for wastewater service and regional wastewater treatment service as set forth in the Notice of <br /> ~ I+tended Fees attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and repeal the <br /> ~U currently effective fees established by Administrative Order No. SS-93-O6. I find the proposed <br /> j fees are in compliance wifh the Council's di?-ective that the costs of providing such services be <br /> recovered fro+~~ the beneficiaries of the services, and other applicable policies and directives of <br /> the Council; are consistent with applicable federal and state regulations and the recommendations <br /> of. M\?VMC; are comparable to the amounts charged by the City of Springfield and other such <br /> service providers; will preserve equity between different classes of ratepayers; and are based on <br /> j' the proposed budget of the City of >sugene and the adopted budget of MWMC. <br /> i <br /> On the basis of• these findings, I order that: <br /> 1. Copies of the Notice be provided to the Mayor and Ciry Councilors, the news <br /> media, any person ~-vho has requested notice, to interested governmental agencies (including the <br /> United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Environmental Quality, <br /> M\\'MC, and the Eugene \\'ater & Electric Board), posted at two locations at City Hall, published <br /> on two separate occasions in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the <br /> City, and be made available for interested persons at the offices of the Public Works Department, <br /> SSS Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during normal business hours (5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., <br /> Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). <br /> Administrative Order - <br /> <br />
