ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-16-03-F of the Public Works Department City of Eugene REPEAL OF RULES FOR GOLDEN GARDENS PARK IN -WATER DOG TRAINING PERMITS AND ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-13-07-F. The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules and regulations necessary for the administration or enforcement of provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971. Pursuant to the authority in Administrative Order No. 21-03-12 issued by the City Manager, the Executive Director of the Public Works Department is authorized to regulate City parks, protect park visitors and the park environment, and adopt rules regarding the use of parks. B. On October 10, 2013, Administrative Order No. 58-13-07-F was issued adopting Rules for Golden Gardens Park In -Water Dog Training Permits for the purpose of establishing a formal permitting process and regulations for the in -water dog training activities taking place at Golden Gardens Park. C. On January 11, 2016, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-16-03, proposing to no longer allow in -water dog training at Golden Gardens Park for the following reasons: (a) participation in the program has declined significantly; (b) on-going impacts to wildlife are not compatible with wildlife and habitat management goals for the site; (c) use by other park users continues to increase creating greater opportunities for conflicts between users; and (d) changes in staffing have eliminated resources to administer the program. In addition, as a result of my proposal to no longer allowing the in -water dog training, I proposed to repeal Administrative Order No. 58-13-07-F and the Rules for Golden Gardens Park In -Water Dog Training Permits. D. Notice of the proposed repeal of the in -water dog training and the Rules for Golden Gardens Park In -Water Dog Training Permits was given by making copies of the Notice attached as Exhibit A to Administrative Order No. 58-16-03 available to any person who had requested such notice, and by publication of the Notice in the Register Guard newspaper on January 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, 2016. The Notice provided that written comments or objections to the proposed Rule be submitted within 15 days of the first date of publication of the Notice. No comments were received within the time or in the manner provided in the Notice. Based upon the above findings which are adopted, and the findings in Administrative Order No. 58-16-03, and pursuant to the authority contained in Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971, and Administrative Order No. 21-03-12, I order that in -water dog training at Golden Gardens Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2
