ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 52-15-01-F of the City Manager of the City of Eugene AMENDMENT OF THE AMBULANCE, EMERGENCY AND NON EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES RATES SCHEDULE AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 52-14-01-F. The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1971, authorizes the City Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, and licenses and permits. In addition, Section 2.608 of the Eugene Code, 1971, specifically authorizes the City Manager to set all rates and fees for any ambulance service operated by the City. B. In accordance with the procedures set forth above, on March 11, 2015, I issued Administrative Order No. 52 -15 -01 proposing the amendment of the Ambulance, Emergency and Non - Emergency Medical Services Rates Schedule which had been established by Administrative Order No. 52- 14 -01 -F, by amending the emergency and non - emergency transport rates and the aid call rates. The current and proposed rates were set out in the Notice attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 52- 15 -01. C. The Notice was provided to the Mayor and City Councilors; made available for inspection by interested persons at the offices of the Fire & EMS administrative offices at 1705 W. 2 nd Avenue, Eugene, Oregon, 97402, during normal business hours; and was made available at the public hearing which was held on April 2, 2015, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Classroom 3 at the City's Emergency Services Center, 1705 W: 2 nd Avenue, Eugene, Oregon, 97402. In addition, on March 18, 2015, Notice was posted at two locations at City Hall, and published in the Register -Guard Newspaper. D. Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of publication and posting, and that comments could be made personally or in writing at the April 2 public hearing. There were no attendees at the public hearing, nor were any written comments submitted within the time or in the manner provided in the Notice. E. Based on the above findings and the findings in Administrative Order No. 52 -15- 01, I find that the fees set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Order are necessary in order to more accurately reflect cost recovery related to the services provided and are based on the City's increased salary, benefit and support costs' for the employees performing the services. In determining the fees, I have taken into consideration the applicable policies, enactments and Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2
