ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-93- ~ 0 <br /> of the <br /> City Manager of the City of Eugene <br /> CONCERNING NOTICE OF INTENDED MWMC EQUALIZATION FEES <br /> The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br /> I <br /> II 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 for services, goods, use of <br /> 'municipal property, and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth <br /> therein, and the further authority of Section 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, on June 29, <br /> 1992 I adopted Administrative Order No. 58-92-13 establishing Metro Wastewater <br /> Management Commission (MWMC) Facilities Equalization Fees and Credits for the fiscal <br /> year commencing July 1, 1992. <br /> B. The MWMC Equalization Fee is a systems development charge paid by <br /> property owners and developers for new construction that is connecting to the sanitary sewer <br /> for the first time, and for the expansion of existing commercial and industrial development <br /> that increases demand on the sanitary sewer system. The fee is administered and collected <br /> j 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 /> i applicable to single family residences and residential uses of up to two dwelling units, with <br /> the fee being based on the number of dwelling units in the development. All other uses are <br /> ~I <br /> classified as Commercial/Industrial, with the fee being calculated on the number of plumbing <br /> I; fixture units in the development. The fee for existing Commercial/Industrial property <br /> connecting to the sanitary sewer system for the first time is based on the amount of water <br /> used by the existing development. <br /> ~I~ D. A one-time credit is available for newly connecting property within the City <br /> i and for property outside the City. The amount of credit for newly connecting property <br /> within the Ci is based on the date of annexation to the City, the date of construction of <br /> tY <br /> I~, any improvements since 1978, and the current value of the land and improvements. For <br /> I~ development outside the City, the credit is based on the date of assessment for the sewer, <br /> 'the date of construction of any improvements, and the current value of land and <br /> improvements. <br /> E. MWMC has requested a revision in the MWMC Facilities Equalization Fee <br /> and Credits for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1993, and I find the proposed fees are <br /> 'i established in an amount designed to equal the amount existing system users have paid for <br /> reserve capacity since 1978, are in conformity with adopted City policies and guidelines, <br /> including Sections 2.020 and 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and I therefore intend to <br /> repeal the currently effective fees and credits set forth in Administrative Order No. 58-92-13 <br /> and establish MWMC Facilities Equalization Fees and Credits for the 1993-94 fiscal year as <br /> <br /> ~,j set forth in the Notice of Intended Fees attached as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated <br /> Administrative Order - 1 <br /> <br />
