AD~1INISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-94-10 <br /> of the <br /> City Manager of the City of Eugene <br /> <br /> i <br /> CONCERNING NOTICE OF INTENDED MWMC EQUALIZATION FEES <br /> AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-93-11 <br /> The City M~inager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br /> A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1.971 authorizes the City Manager to determine <br /> and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, <br /> <br /> ~ and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and the further <br /> authority of Section 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, on June 30, 1993 I adopted Administrative <br /> ~ Order No. 58-93-1 1 establishing Metro Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) Facilities <br /> Ij Equalization Fees and Credits for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1993. <br /> t3. The MWMC Equalization Fee is a systems development charge paid by property <br /> I~ owners and den~elopers for new construction that is connecting to the sanitary sewer for the first <br /> time, and for the expansion of existing commercial and industrial development that increases <br /> demand on the sanitary_ sewer system. The fee is administered and collected on behalf of the <br /> MWMC by the City for property within the City's service area. <br /> C. There are two classifications to the Equalization Fee. The Residential Fee is <br /> applicable to single family residences and residential uses of up to two dwelling units, with.the <br /> fey being based on the number of dwelling units in the development. All other uses are classified <br /> as Commercial/Industrial, with the fee being calculated on the number of plumbing fixture units <br /> in the development. The fee for existing Commercial/Industrial property connecting to the <br /> sa?tiitar_y sewer system for the first time is based on the amount of water used by the existing <br /> development. <br /> D. A aie-time credit is available for newly connecting property within the City. The <br /> I, amount of credit for newly connecting property within the City is based on the date of annexation <br /> ~I to the City, the date of construction of any improvements since 1978, and the current value of <br /> the land and improvements. <br /> E. M\~hMC has requested that the City implement the annual revision in the MWMC <br /> Facilities Equalization Fee to reflect the increase in the facility's equity paid by existing users, <br /> and to the Credits for the fiscal year beginning Juiy I, 1994 because of the increase in property <br /> taxes paid to decrease the debt service on the facility. I find the proposed fees are established <br /> fin an amount designed to equal the amount existing system users have paid for reserve capacity <br /> ~I since 1978, are in conformity- with adopted Ciry policies and guidelines, including Sections 2.020 <br /> !i and 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and 1 therefore intend to repeal the currently effective fees <br /> and credits set forth in Administrative Order No. 58-93-11 and establish MWMC Facilities <br /> Equalization Fees and Credits be<~ini~ing in the 1994-95 fiscal year as set forth in the Notice of <br /> Intended Fees attached as Exhibit .A hereto and incorporated herein by reference. <br /> AdrninisLr~~live Or~lcr 1 <br /> <br />
