ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 21-18-02 <br />of the <br />City Manager <br />DELEGATING TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL <br />SERVICES THE AUTHORITY TO MODIFY, COMPROMISE, AND <br />CANCEL CLAIMS FOR MUNICIPAL COURT FINES AND FEES. <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the <br />City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and is specifically authorized <br />to appoint and remove all employees (except as otherwise provided in the Charter), and to enforce <br />all ordinances of the City. <br />B. Section 2.582 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorizes the City Manager or designee <br />to modify, compromise or cancel a debt owed to the City, provided that the City Attorney has first <br />reviewed the proposed modification, compromise or cancellation. <br />C. I find that it would be more efficient and in the public interest to authorize the <br />Executive Director of Central Services to modify, compromise or cancel Municipal Court fines <br />and fees that are deemed uncollectible pursuant to the Eugene Municipal Court Write -Off Policy <br />and when the Central Services Director determines that it is in the City's financial interest to do <br />SO. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene Orders and Directs that: <br />1. As authorized by Section 2.582(4)(e) of the Eugene Code, 1971, the Central <br />Services Director is authorized to modify, compromise or cancel Municipal Court fines and fees <br />when the administration and collection costs involved would exceed the amount that can <br />reasonably be expected to be recovered pursuant to the Eugene Municipal Court Write -Off Policy <br />and when the Central Services Director determines that it is in the City's financial interest to do <br />SO. <br />2. Pursuant to Section 2.582(6) of the Eugene Code, 1971, the proposed modification, <br />compromise or cancellation of claim shall be reduced to writing and reviewed by the City Attorney <br />before the Central Services Director or designee actually modifies, compromises or cancels the <br />claim. <br />3. The Central Services Director may sub -delegate the authority granted by this Order. <br />Dated and effective this Z,,day of March, 2018. <br />Jon R.
