ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 52-17-03-F <br />of the <br />City Manager of the City of Eugene <br />AMENDMENT OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE TRACKING <br />INSTRUCTIONS, ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 20518, FOR REPORTS <br />DUE BEGINNING APRIL 1, 2018. <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Amendment IV to the Eugene Charter of 2002 was adopted at the general election <br />on November 5, 1996 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides, in part, that hazardous <br />substance users in Eugene file an annual materials balance report that lists inputs and outputs of <br />all hazardous substances obtained, used or generated. <br />B. Pursuant to its authority under Section 4 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, and Article <br />X of Amendment IV to the Charter, on April 6, 1998, the City Council passed Ordinance No. <br />20112 adopting the 1998 Hazardous Substance Reporting Forms and Tracking Instructions <br />("Instructions"). The Instructions have subsequently been amended, most recently by Ordinance <br />No. 20518 which was enacted on October 28, 2013. <br />C. On February 23, 2015, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 20551. Section 2 of that <br />Ordinance delegated authority to the City Manager to amend the Instructions pursuant to the rule <br />making process in Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br />D. The Toxics Board has recommended amendments to the Instructions for reports <br />due beginning April 1, 2018. Recommended revisions included: <br />(1) Amending Instructions to reflect that the City Manager was granted <br />authority by Ordinance No. 20551 to revise the Instructions pursuant to the rule making <br />process of EC 2.019; <br />(2) Making minor amendments to the Instructions to provide additional <br />specificity regarding certain points and add information that was previously missing; and <br />(3) Amending the process for Reporting Exemptions and providing a Reporting <br />Exemption Request Form. <br />E. I concur with the Toxics Board's recommended amendments. Therefore, on <br />September 21, 2017, Administrative Order 52-17-03 was issued proposing to amend the <br />Instructions as recommended by the Toxics Board. A copy of the Instructions showing the <br />proposed amendments was attached to that Order as Exhibit A. <br />F. Notice of the proposed amendments was given by making copies of the Notice <br />attached as Exhibit B to Administrative Order 52-17-03 available to the Mayor and City <br />Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2 <br />
