combination with updates to actual costs for bond - funded projects, the net result is an increase in SDC rates ranging from about 1.81% to 1.92 %, depending upon the strength of wastewater discharge associated with development categories contained in the rate schedule. As such, this inflationary adjustment will not result in a 5% or greater fee increase within a 12 -month period. E. Based on: (1) the park development/renovation cost adjustment using the Engineering News - Record 20 -City national average Construction Cost Index (December 2012 through May 2014) and, (2) the park land acquisition cost adjustment using the Lane County Assessment & Taxation office's published 2013 Sales'Ratio Report, it is necessary to adjust the Parks System SDCs by implementing an average 1.9% increase in the Parks System SDC for residential development, and an average 1.7% increase in the Parks System SDC for nonresidential development. As such, these increases will not result in a 5% or greater fee revision within a 12 -month period. F. Based on the Engineering News - Record 20 -City national average Construction Cost Index, it is necessary to amend the Local Wastewater System and Transportation System SDCs by implementing a 4.0% increase for those SDCs and a 4.0% increase to all rate components of the Stormwater System SDCs with the exception of the estimated Low Impact Development (LID) system capacity project costs that were adopted by City Council per Resolution No. 5100, effective March 1, 2014. As such, these increases will not result in a 5% or greater fee revision within a 12 -month period. G. Notice of the proposed inflationary adjustments was given by providing copies of Administrative Order No. 58- 14 -08, including Exhibit A (the proposed amendments) and Exhibit B (the Notice), to the Mayor and City Councilors; making those documents available for inspection by interested persons at the office of the City Engineer, Public Works Department, 99 East Broadway, Suite 400, Eugene, Oregon, 97401; and by posting those documents at two locations at City Hall on May 30, 2014. In addition, Notice of the adjustments was published in the Register -Guard Newspaper on May 30, 2014, and persons who requested. notice of the amendments were mailed informational postcards as notification of the proposed amendments. H. Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of posting and publication. No comments were received within the time or in the manner set forth in the Notice. I. I find that the proposed inflationary adjustments set forth in Exhibit A are consistent with adopted policies of the City, are in conformity with applicable state law, are authorized by Section 7.710(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971, and should be implemented effective July 1, 2014.
