On September 28, 1994, Ordinance No. 19984 was passed by the City Council <br /> and approved by the Mayor adopting changes to the monthly stormwater customer charges, <br /> <br /> ~ separating out components related to roads. <br /> <br /> d~ <br /> <br /> f . <br /> B. As amended by Ordinance No. 19984, the monthly stormwater customer charge <br /> <br /> s ~ is now comp sed of (1) a water quality and quantity component; (2) an administrative <br /> j component; a d (3) a road component. It was intended that reductions and exemptions continue <br /> to be availabl for water quality and quantity components for property, but not for the road <br /> <br /> f <br /> <br /> ! component. <br /> <br /> t <br /> C. The rate methodology set forth in Exhibit A to Ordinance No. 19984, which <br /> provides for c mplete reductions or exemptions, therefore should be amended to clarify that <br /> exemption app ies to water quality and quantity components, but not to the road or administrative <br /> component. <br /> D. The new fees and revisions established by Ordinance No. 19984 go into effect <br /> November 1, 994. That Ordinance, and Sections 6.411 and 6.451 of the Eugene Code, 1971 <br /> authorize the ity Manager to establish future adjustments to the stormwater customer charges <br /> and adopt suc rules, regulations, and methodologies as deemed necessary by the City Manager, <br /> ' following the rocedures set forth in Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971.. <br /> E. Pursuant to section 2.019, the City Manager intends to follow formal rule making <br /> procedures, i luding a notice and comment period with respect to longer term changes to the <br /> ~ stormwater ra a methodology that more accurately reflects the Council's action. In order to <br /> ensure the Co ncil's November 1 imposition of the new fee structure is accurately carrted out, <br /> it is necessar to change immediately the rate methodology to clarify that exemptions or <br /> reductions do of apply to road or administrative components of the stormwater charges. The <br /> City will imp se the new rates as of November 1, but may not send out the bills to heretofore <br /> exempt prope ies until December, 1994 or January, 1995; in this event, the bills will reflect <br /> amounts co encing November 1, 1994. <br /> r <br /> F. Failure to act promptly in effecting this clarification will prejudice the City's <br /> implementatio of the proper stormwater customer charges. <br /> Administrativ Order - 1 <br /> <br />
