ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-04-14-F of the City Manager of the City of Eugene AMENDMENT OF' FEES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PRIVATELY CONSTRUCTED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-03-11-F. The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, and licenses and permits. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and the further authority of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, fees for engineering services for privately constructed public improvements were established by Administrative Order No. 58-03-11-F on July 14,2003. B. Pursuant to that authority, on July 14,2004, IissuedAdministrativeOrderNo. 58-04- 14 and notified the Mayor and City Council that I intended to amend the fees for engineering services for privately constructed public improvements, which were established by Administrative Order No. 58-03-11-F as set forth in the Notice attached thereto. c. The Notice was a Iso posted at two locations at City Hall and published in the Register-Guard on July 19, 2004, and made available for inspection by interested persons at the offices of the City Manager, 777 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401, during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). The Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of posting. No comments were received within the time or in the manner required by the Notice. D. I find that amendments to the fees for engineering services for privately constructed public improvements are necessary in order to comply with the requirements of Section 7.130 of the Eugene Code, 1971, that the fees charged for those services recover the City's costs, including overhead, engineering, inspection and review services performed by the City. In determining the fees, I have considered the applicable policies, enactments and directives of the City Council, the amount charged for these services by the City in the past, the full costs of providing these services supported by the fees, the amounts charged by other comparable providers, the revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted City budget, and the hourly rates of engineering employees. E. Based upon the above findings and the findings in Administrative Order No. 58-04- 14, the fees for engineering services for privately constructed public improvements should be amended as proposed.
