EMERGENCY RULE AMENDING THE AIRPORT RULES.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 2.019 and 2.430 of the Eugene
Code, 1971, the current Rules Governing the Use of Mahlon Sweet Airport ("Airport Rules")
were adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-07-01-F of the City Manager on February 12,
2007.
B. Due to the passage of Measure 91 which became effective on July 1, 2015,
persons are permitted to carry up to one ounce of marijuana within the state. However, state law
prohibits marijuana from being transported outside of Oregon. In order to comply with state and
federal law related to transporting marijuana outside of the state of Oregon, it is necessary to add
an Airport Rule that prohibits persons from possessing marijuana in any restricted area of the
Airport unless the person's flight destination is within the state of Oregon or the marijuana is
medical.
C. This Rule must be implemented immediately because Measure 91 is currently in
effect, and failure to act promptly may result in the City of Eugene's non-compliance with state
and federal law. Adoption of this Emergency Rule is authorized by subsection (6) of Section
2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971.
NOW, THERFORE, based upon the above finding which are adopted, and pursuant to
the authority in Sections 2.019(6) and 2.430 of the Eugene Code, 1971, 1 order that:
1. This Rule amendment shall become effective immediately and remain in effect
for a period of 180 days from the date this Order is signed unless replaced earlier by an
emergency rule, temporary rule, or permanent rule adopted in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971.
2. A copy of this Administrative Order shall be appended to Administrative Order
No. 58-07-01-F.
3. Paragraph 4.18 is added to the Airport Rules as provided below.
