Sections 2.020 and 7.705 of the Eugene Code, 1971 authorize the City Manager of <br />the City of Eugene to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, <br />goods, use of municipal property, and licenses and permits, and specifically systems development <br />charges. Section 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971 further authorizes the City Manager to adopt <br />and/or amend, by administrative order, the methodologies used for establishing the systems <br />development charges, and provides this may be effected concurrent with the establishment or <br />revision of a systems development charge. <br />B. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, on July 13, 2000, I issued <br />Administrative Order No. 58-00-17 and notified the Mayor and City Councilors that I intended to <br />amend the City of Eugene SDC Methodology by adopting the revised regional Metropolitan <br />_ Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) wastewater SDC rates as calculated by MWMC, <br />_ which represented a 17.1 % fee increase. <br />C. The Notice was also posted on July 14, 2000 in four public locations within the City <br />-and published on July 16, 2000, in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the <br />City. In addition, copies of the Proposed Amendments to the Systems Development Charge <br />Methodology were made available for inspection by interested persons at the City Manager's Office, <br />777 Pearl Street, Room 105, the Human Resource and Risk Services Office, 777 Pearl Street, Room <br />101, the Public Works Building Lobby, 858 Pearl Street, and the Eugene Public Library, 100 West <br />13th Avenue, during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, <br />exclusive of holidays). The Notice provided that written comments could be submitted thereon for <br />a period of 30 days, through August 14, 2000. No written comments were received. However, <br />during the comment period .staff identified some corrections to typographical errors, and other minor <br />cosmetic changes needed to improve clarity and readability, all of which have been incorporated in <br />the attached Exhibit A. <br />D. Based on the findings and staff recommendations set forth above, I find that the <br />revisions to the Systems Development Charge Methodology, fees, and credits as proposed by <br />Administrative Order 58-00-17 and the corrections reflected in Finding C above and incorporated <br />in Exhibit A hereto are consistent with adopted policies and ordinances of the City, are in conformity <br />with applicable state law, and should be implemented effective September 5, 2000. <br />Administrative Order - 1 <br />
