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. B. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, on June 13, 2000 I issued Administrative Order No. 58-00-16 proposing to establish the Open Waterway Fee Schedule as set forth in the Notice attached as Exhibit A thereto and incorporated therein by reference. C. The Notice was provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, posted at two locations at City Hall, provided to any persons who have requested such notice, and was made available for inspection by interested persons at the offices of the City's Public Works Department, Administrative Division, 858 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401 during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, exclusive of holidays). The Notice provided that written comments would be received thereon for a period of fifteen days from the date of posting. No comments were received within the time and manner required by the Notice. However, during the comment period staff members who had investigated the potential costs to be incurred in connection with appeals, including hearings official charges of approximately $75 per hour, recommended that the appeal fee be increased to $200.00. I concur with that recommendation, and the revised fee is included in the attached fee schedule. D. I find that the proposed fees, which were developed on the basis of estimations of the costs associated with processing applications for exemptions under newly adopted provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971, including salary, benefits, materials, supplies and indirect costs for employees performing the services, are necessary in order to comply with the Council's goal of recovering the cost of providing such services from the beneficiaries thereof On the basis of these findings, I order that: The fees set forth in the Open Waterway Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto are hereby adopted as the fees to be charged for the services set forth therein, effective July 14, 2000.
