Authority is granted to the City Manager of the City of Eugene under Sections 2.440 <br />to 2.442 of the Eugene Code, 1971 to set fees and charges for the use of the Eugene Airport. The <br />City Manager has further delegated that authority to the Airport Manager under Airport Rule 8.4.2. <br />B. Pursuant to that delegated authority, Administrative Order No. 58-98-13-F was issued <br />on October 22, 1998, revising and ratifying the Airport Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit. A thereto. <br />On August 16, 1999, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-99-18 proposing the revision of the <br />Airport Fee Schedule by amending the non-signatory/scheduled/unscheduled airline rates set forth <br />in Sections 2, 4, and 5 of that Fee Schedule, as set forth in the Notice of Intended Airport Fee <br />Schedule Revisions attached as Exhibit A thereto. <br />C.
