investigation of the revenue needs of the City in providing .these services and reviewed the <br />recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC). <br />F. The MWMC has approved its staff recommendation as set forth in the Notice attached <br />to Administrative Order No. 58-96-10 and revised the method used to allocate costs among customer <br />classes. It has also reallocated costs between the flat monthly component of the MWMC fee and the <br />flow based component of that fee. The customer service charges recommended by MWMC reflect <br />this revised cost allocation. The MVVMC has also created two additional high strength commercial <br />customer classes, effective January 1, 1997. <br />D. Based on that investigation and recommendation, and the findings set forth herein, <br />I find the proposed fees are in compliance with the Council's directive that the costs of providing <br />such services be recovered from the beneficiaries of the services, and other applicable policies and <br />directives of. the Council; are consistent with applicable federal and state regulations and the <br />recommendations of MWMC; are comparable to the amounts charged by the City of Springfield and <br />other such service providers; will preserve equity between different classes of ratepayers; and are <br />based on the proposed budget of the City of Eugene and the adopted budget of MWMC. <br />On the basis of these findings, I order that:. <br />1. The Wastewater User Fees set forth in Exhibit A hereto are hereby established as the <br />fees to be charged for the services set forth, to be effective on all bills issued on or after July 1, 1996. <br />2. Administrative Order No. 58-95-05, and the rates established or proposed therein are <br />. repealed, as of the effective date of this Order. <br />3. This Order, and the fees established herein shall be effective for all bills issued on or <br />after July 1, 1996. <br />Q _. <br />-Dated this~.~ `=day of May, 1996. <br />7 <br />I~ <br />~/t'" Linda H.
