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. 58-00-18-F was issued <br />on August 15, 2000 revising and ratifying the Airport Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A thereto. <br />On October 11, 2000, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-00-25, proposing the revision of tfie <br />Airport Automobile Short- and Long-Term Parking rates, which are set forth in Section 10 of that <br />Fee Schedule, as set forth in the Notice of Intended Airport Fee Schedule Revisions attached as <br />Exhibit A thereto. <br />C. The Notice was provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, posted at two locations <br />at the Airport and published in the Register-Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, <br />on October 20, 2000, and made available for inspection by interested person at the offices of the <br />Airport Manager, 28855 Lockheed Drive, Eugene, Oregon, 97402, during normal business hours <br />(8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). <br />D. The Notice provided that written comments would be received thereon for a period <br />of 15 days from the first date of posting and publication. One written comment was received within <br />the time and in the manner required in the Notice to which I make the following finding. <br />Comment. Written testimony was received from Margaret Alberto, a customer, who <br />stated that other airports have multiple airlines and provide economy parking. Many of <br />Eugene Airport's potential customers are flying out of Portland, so Eugene should not be <br />increasing the parking lot fees. At a minimum, Eugene's Airport should consider a third <br />option for parking. <br />Findings. Eugene Airport rates were compared to similarly sized airports in the <br />western United States. Even with the increased rate, the Eugene Airport parking fees will be <br />far below that of Portland for parking and in the case of long term daily rates, will be less than <br />Administrative Order - 1 - - - -- <br />
