Findings: The proposed MWMC SDC fees and credits were calculated by MWMC to recover the actual cost of creating the capacity and in the manner required by the Intergovernmental Agreement. Except for removal of reference to "large volume user equivalent," they should be implemented as proposed. Comments on Revisions to SDC Methodology: Numerous comments were received objecting to the proposed revisions to the SDC Methodology, particularly with respect to the "Large Volume User" classification. In addition to the public comments, the City Council has expressed an interest to further review comments on this issue before I take final action on this classification. Findings: Based on the comments received, and the expressed interest of the City Council, no changes will be made at this time related to the "Large Volume User" classification. Except for amending the MWMC SDC fees and credits set forth in Section 4.0 of the Methodology, the revisions to the SDC Methodology proposed in Administrative Order No. 58-96-06 shall not be made at this time. As a consequence, any "Large Volume Users" will continue to have their SDCs calculated based on the existing methodology, until such time as I adopt an additional administrative order, which will not occur until after the City Council further discusses this issue. In addition to the above comments and findings, during the review period, staff noticed two typographical errors in the Regional Wastewater SDC rates, as set forth in Table #2, page 2 of Exhibit A to the Notice. The rate per plumbing fixture unit (PFU), should have been listed as $20.69 instead of $21.31; and the rate per 1,000 gallons average winter month's water consumption should have been listed as $55.17 instead of $56.83. Those corrections have been incorporated in Exhibit A hereto. E. Based on the findings set forth above, and the findings in paragraphs D through G of Administrative order #58-96-06, I find that the proposed MWMC Facilities Equalization Fee as calculated and requested by MWMC, and Credits thereto, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, are established in an amount designed to equal the amount existing system users have paid for reserve capacity since 1978; and as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, are established in conformity with applicable state law, adopted City policies, guidelines, and ordinances, including Sections 2.020 and 7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, are comparable and generally below the fees charged by other jurisdictions, and should be implemented for all permits issued on or after July 1, 1996. On the basis of these findings, I order that: 1. The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) SDC Fees and credits are hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit A, hereto, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, effective as to all permits issued on or after 12:01 am on July 01, 1996. 2. Section 4.0 of the City's Systems Development Methodology is amended to reflect the fees amended herein. 3. Administrative Order No. 58-95-06-F and the fees and credits established therein are hereby repealed, as of midnight, June 30, 1996. Dated this 28th day of June, 1996. ~ ~ ~ 1 Q:-^-W "t;,'" Linda H.
