<br /> ~S8- 87-v/ ,LPs ~ y <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER <br /> OF THE <br /> PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR <br /> City of Eugene, Oregon <br /> 'In order to: <br /> A. Charge to local improvement districts, engineering fees that closely <br /> reflect average costs, and, <br /> B. Provide a fair and equitable charge for services to property owners, <br /> The Public Works Director finds that: <br /> 1. The amount currently charged for engineering services to local <br /> improvement districts is not adequate to recover the actual costs <br /> incurred. <br /> 2. A study and analysis of these fees is underway and needs to be <br /> completed to determine a reasonable and equitable charge rate. The <br /> estimated completion date for the analysis is September 30, 1987. <br /> 3. An interim increase in the current charge rate needs to be implemented <br /> pending completion of the study and analysis in order that the City may <br /> recover, on current and new projects, an amount that more closely reflects <br /> actual costs. <br /> 4. A preliminary analysis indicates that engineering costs over the past <br /> five years have averaged 19.15% of project construction costs. <br /> Based on the above findings, the Public Works Director orders that: <br /> Property owners in local improvement districts be assessed a charge for <br /> engineering services at a rate of 19% of actual project construction <br /> costs. This rate will apply to all projects assessed after May 1, 1987 <br /> until changed by administrative order. <br /> This 19% rate is considered an interim rate adjustment pending final <br /> recommendations from the rate study and analysis. Should the 19% rate <br /> be determined by the analysis to meet the objectives stated in A and 6 <br /> above, then that rate will remain in effect until further action by the <br /> Public Works Director. Should the 19% rate require further adjustment, <br /> either increased or decreased, then anew administrative order will be <br /> issued by the Public Works Director which would apply only to those <br /> projects assessed after the date of the new administrative order. <br /> In accordance with authority granted by Section 7.007 of the Eugene Code, 1971, <br /> this administrative order is issued and dated 19~Z. <br /> engfees ristine Andersen, Public Works Director <br /> <br />
