Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2 ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-22-14-F MR of the City Manager of the City of Eugene SETTING STORMWATER USER FEES AND SUPERSEDING THE FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-21-05-F. The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 6.411 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC), authorizes the City Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for wastewater service, regional wastewater service, and stormwater service. Pursuant to that authority, on May 17, 2021, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-21-05-F making the most recent changes to the stormwater user fees and adopting an updated Stormwater User Fee Schedule. B. On March 14, 2022, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-22-14, ordering that notice be given of the opportunity to submit written comments on my proposal to set new stormwater user fees. The Notice specified that comments on the proposed rates for stormwater service could be submitted orally at the public hearing which would be held remotely on April 6, 2022, at noon using virtual meeting technology, and that written comments could otherwise be submitted to the City’s Public Works Financial Services Manager until 5 p.m. on April 6, 2022. The comments submitted are addressed in the City Manager’s Findings attached as Exhibit B to this Order. C. Based on my investigation of the revenue needs of the City in providing stormwater service using the criteria in EC 6.411(2), and after considering the comments submitted, I find that the stormwater user fees should be amended as proposed. (See Exhibit B) D. The unamended stormwater user fees adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-21- 05-F are incorporated into the Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order. On the basis of these findings, I order that: 1. A copy of this Order shall be promptly forwarded to the Mayor and City Councilors. Unless reviewed by the Council pursuant to EC 6.411(1)(f), this Order shall become final on the 11th day after the date it is rendered. 2. Notwithstanding the effective date of this Order as set forth above, the Stormwater User Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order is the schedule of fees to be charged for the described services effective for all bills issued on or after July 1, 2022.
