Finding: As noted in Finding B above, Subsections (1) and (2) of Section 3.415 of the Eugene Code, 1971 impose annual registration and licensing fees, and Subsection (3) provides that a per foot fee be imposed with respect to private communications systems in lieu of the fees required under Subsections (1) and (2). Based on the authority of Subsection 3.415(3), the fee schedule attached to Administrative Order No. 44-97-06-F issued on August 29, 1997, imposed an annual license fee of $2.00/per foot for private communications systems. It is therefore consistent with the provisions of Subsection (6) (authorizing the City Manager to accept a proposal to provide in-kind services in lieu of all or a portion of a licensee's annual registration and license fee) that the In-Kind Services Program is intended to be available to private communications systems. The proposed Telecommunication In-Kind Services in Lieu of Annual License and Registration Fees Program hereinafter set forth has been revised to clarify that intent. Based on the above findings, I hereby adopt the following: TELECOMMUNICATION IN-KIND SERVICES IN LIEU OF ANNUAL LICENSE AND REGISTRATION FEES PROGRAM 1. Purpose and Intent. Adoption of this program is intended to insure that proposals for in-kind services are submitted, processed, and determinations made thereon in a fair and equitable manner. The in-kind services are authorized by the Council, and proposals may be submitted at the option of registrantsllicensees. 2. Priority. Until budget and contractual experience is gained in this program, priority shall be given to proposals for provision of in-kind services related to services/equipment (program administration and the Community Telecommunications Projects list) in lieu of the 2%) registration fee. Providers may, however, forward proposals relating to the provision of in-kind services in lieu of the 70/0 right-of-way use license fee and private communications systems annual license fee. The City Manager may also consider in-kind proposals for services and equipment relating to the City Council's goals/strategies as specified in the City's annual call for proposals. 3. Call for Proposals. 3.1 The City's Franchise Man\ager shall issue an annual "call for proposals" to registered telecommunications providers who are in compliance with the City's telecommunications regulations as of the call date. The "call" shall make it clear that the program is optional and that no provider is required to submit a proposal. 3.2 The "call" will include a City-desired list of services and equipment relating to expenses that the 2%) registration fee supports and to specified City Administrative Order - 2 11/12/98 r:\adminord\rules \inkind2ao. wpd
