ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-15-25 <br />of the <br />City Manager <br />EMERGENCY RULE AMENDING THE AIRPORT RULES. <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 2.019 and 2.430 of the Eugene <br />Code, 1971, the current Rules Governing the Use of Mahlon Sweet Airport ("Airport Rules") <br />were adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-07-01-F of the City Manager on February 12, <br />2007. <br />B. Due to the passage of Measure 91 which became effective on July 1, 2015, <br />persons are permitted to carry up to one ounce of marijuana within the state. However, state law <br />prohibits marijuana from being transported outside of Oregon. In order to comply with state and <br />federal law related to transporting marijuana outside of the state of Oregon, it is necessary to add <br />an Airport Rule that prohibits persons from possessing marijuana in any restricted area of the <br />Airport unless the person's flight destination is within the state of Oregon or the marijuana is <br />medical. <br />C. This Rule must be implemented immediately because Measure 91 is currently in <br />effect, and failure to act promptly may result in the City of Eugene's non-compliance with state <br />and federal law. Adoption of this Emergency Rule is authorized by subsection (6) of Section <br />2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br />NOW, THERFORE, based upon the above finding which are adopted, and pursuant to <br />the authority in Sections 2.019(6) and 2.430 of the Eugene Code, 1971, 1 order that: <br />1. This Rule amendment shall become effective immediately and remain in effect <br />for a period of 180 days from the date this Order is signed unless replaced earlier by an <br />emergency rule, temporary rule, or permanent rule adopted in accordance with the provisions of <br />Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br />2. A copy of this Administrative Order shall be appended to Administrative Order <br />No. 58-07-01-F. <br />3. Paragraph 4.18 is added to the Airport Rules as provided below. <br />RULES GOVERNING USE OF MAHLON SWEET AIRPORT <br />4. RULES OF GENERAL APPLICABILITY. <br />4.18 Marijuana. Except for Persons who can demonstrate that their final flight <br />destination is within the State of Oregon, no Person shall possess marijuana in any Restricted <br />Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2 <br />
