In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, on May 29, 1998 I issued Administrative Order No. 58-98-11 proposing an increase in MWMC septage user fees as set forth in the Notice attached thereto, and the revision of Administrative Order No. 58-96-10-F. C. Copies of the Notice were provided to the Mayor and City. Councilors, the news media, any person who had requested notice, to interested governmental agencies (including the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Environmental Quality, '~ MWMC, and the Eugene Water & Electric Board), and posted at two locations at City Hall on June 3, 1998. The Notice was also published on June 3 and June 7, 1998 in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, and made available for interested persons at the offices of the Public Works Department, 858 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays).

No written comment was received within the time or in the manrier required by the notice, and no testimony was submitted at the public hearing. E. Pursuant to Subsection 6.411(1) of the Eugene Code, 1971, I have conducted an investigation of the revenue needs of the City in providing these services and reviewed the recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC). F. Based on that investigation and recommendation, and the findings set forth herein, I find the proposed septage user fees are in compliance with the Council's directive that the costs of providing such services be recovered from the beneficiaries of the services, and other applicable policies and directives of the Council; are consistent with applicable federal and state regulations and the recommendations of MWMC; are comparable to the amounts charged by the City of Springfield and other such service providers; and are based on the adopted budget of MWMC.
