Eugene Toxics Right-to-Know Program <br />Fee History Eugene City Charter, Section 54, Amendment IV adopted 11/96 Fiscal Year 1997 and Fiscal Year 1998 – The program was supported by the City of Eugene’s General Fund in accordance with the Eugene City Charter, Section 54, Amendment IV, Article VII, Section 7(D). Beginning spring 1998, fees charged in the spring of a calendar year supported the program for the upcoming fiscal year. This continues to be the case. 1998 fee -- $500/facility + $16.12/FTE (Charged to reporting businesses) 1999 fee -- $500/facility + $7.92/FTE (Charged to reporting businesses) Due to the 05/05/99 Oregon Court of Appeals decision that the City had been assessing fees based on quantity all fees paid in1998 and 1999 fees were refunded. To keep the voter-approved Charter Amendment in force, the City was required to create – and assess fees to – an additional class of businesses that did not meet the 2,640-pound reporting threshold but did meet the other three criteria to be considered hazardous substance users. This class of businesses are categorized as non-reporting businesses under the program. Therefore, starting in the year 2000, fees have been assessed to both reporting and non-reporting businesses. 2000 fee -- $14.310/FTE 2001 fee -- $12.540/FTE 2002 fee -- $10.790/FTE 2003 fee -- $13.920/FTE State-imposed fee cap of $2,000 per facility took effect 7/1/03 (ORS 453.370(2)(b)). 2004 fee -- $31.650/FTE up to $2,000 2005 fee -- $30.940/FTE up to $2,000 2006 fee -- $31.300/FTE up to $2,000 2007 fee -- $37.380/FTE up to $2,000 2008 fee -- $46.200/FTE up to $2,000 2009 fee -- $52.380/FTE up to $2,000 2010 fee -- $55.480/FTE up to $2,000 2011 fee -- $53.340/FTE up to $2,000 2012 fee -- $79.000/FTE up to $2,000 2013 fee -- $82.690/FTE up to $2,000 2014 fee -- $56.750/FTE up to $2,000 2015 fee -- $56.080/FTE up to $2,000 2016 fee -- $48.290/FTE up to $2,000 2017 fee -- $63.120/FTE up to $2,000 2018 fee -- $65.430/FTE up to $2,000 (proposed) 2019 fee -- $62.230/FTE up to $2,000 <br />ATTACHMENT C <br />April 15, 2019, Public Hearing and Meeting – Item 3
