ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-04-14-F <br />of the <br />City Manager of the City of Eugene <br />AMENDMENT OF FEES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR <br />PRIVATELY CONSTRUCTED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND REPEAL <br />OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-03-11-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 determine <br />and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, <br />and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and the further <br />authority of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, fees for engineering services for privately <br />constructed public improvements were established by Administrative Order No. 58-03-11-F on July <br />14, 2003. <br />B. Pursuant to that authority, on July 14, 2004, I issued Administrative OrderNo. 58-04- <br />14 and notified the Mayor and City Council that I intended to amend the fees for engineering <br />services for privately constructed public improvements, which were established by Administrative <br />Order No. 58-03-11-F as set forth in the Notice attached thereto. <br />C. The N otice w as a lso p osted a t t wo 1 ocations a t C ity Hall and published i n t he <br />Register-Guard on July 19, 2004, and made available for inspection by interested persons at the <br />offices of the City Manager, 777 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during normal business hours <br />(8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). The Notice provided that <br />written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of posting. No comments <br />were received within the time or in the manner required by the Notice. <br />D. I find that amendments to the fees for engineering services for privately constructed <br />public improvements are necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Section 7.130 of the <br />Eugene Code, 1971, that the fees charged for those services recover the City's costs, including <br />overhead, engineering, inspection and review services performed by the City. In determining the <br />fees, I have considered the applicable policies, enactments and directives of the City Council, the <br />amount charged for these services by the City in the past, the full costs of providing these services <br />supported by the fees, the amounts charged by other comparable providers, the revenue needs of the <br />City as determined by the adopted City budget, and the hourly rates of engineering employees. <br />E. Based upon the above findings and the findings in Administrative Order No. 58-04- <br />14, the f ees for engineering services for privately constructed public improvements should be <br />amended as proposed. <br />Administrative Order -Page 1 <br />
