ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-99-15 <br />of the <br />City Manager of the City of Eugene <br />CONCERNING NOTICE OF INTENDED FEES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES <br />FOR PRIVATELY CONSTRUCTED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS <br />AND REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO.58-97-12-F <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br />A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to <br />determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of <br />municipal property, and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth <br />therein, and the further authority of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, Administrative <br />Order No. 58-97-12-F was adopted on July 14, 1997 establishing fees for engineering services <br />for privately constructed public improvements. <br />B. These engineering services are provided on request to private parties and other <br />governmental agencies that construct projects that become public improvements upon <br />completion and are charged for on an hourly basis. Hourly rates are established at the start of <br />each fiscal year to recover the full cost of engineering services for each classification of <br />engineering employee. I therefore intend to repeal the currently effective fees set forth in <br />Administrative Order No. 58-97-12-F and establish fees based on the hourly rates of engineering <br />employees for the 1999-2000 fiscal year as set forth in the Notice of Intended Fees attached as <br />Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference. <br />C. The fees set forth in Exhibit A hereto are consistent with applicable policies and <br />directives of the City Council, comparable to the fees established in other jurisdictions and <br />private businesses for providing such services, are based on the hourly rates of engineering <br />employees, and are necessary in order to comply with the City Council's directive and the <br />requirements of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971 that the fee charged for these services <br />recover the City's full costs, including plan review, engineering, inspection and overhead costs.. <br />On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br />1. Copies of the Notice be provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, posted at two <br />locations at City Hall, and be made available for interested persons at the offices of the City <br />Manager, 777 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to <br />5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). <br />2. All persons desiring to comment thereon shall submit written comments as set <br />forth in the Notice. I will thereafter establish the fees by an administrative order. <br />'~ Dated this day of July, 1999. <br />t_._ ~ <br />James R. ohnson, City Manager <br />
