City Manager
AMENDING THE TERMS OF USE FOR THE DUSK TO DAWN SITE AT
605 AND 717 HIGHWAY 99 AND REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
NO. 53-17-06.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the
City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, specifically authorized to
enforce all ordinances of the City.
B. On November 23, 2015, Ordinance No. 20559 was adopted approving the Dusk to
Dawn overnight sleeping pilot program. That Ordinance provided. that sleeping overnight at
designated sites would be pennitted upon Council's approval of a site and the City Manager's
adoption of an administrative rule governing use of the site. Ordinance No. 20559 was amended
on March 14, 2016, by Ordinance No. 20563, to allow the City Manager to consider the seasonal
sunset in determining the hours of permitted overnight sleeping at designated sites.
C. On March 1, 2017, Ordinance No. 20576 was adopted removing the sunset date
from the Dusk to Dawn Program. On March 29, 2017, the City Manager issued Administrative
Order No. 53-17-03-F, adopting permanent rules and regulations for the Dusk to Dawn Overnight
Sleeping Program. On January 22, 2018, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 53-
17-03-F adopting a temporary amendment to that rule which gives the City Manager the option of
authorizing families with children to use certain approved Dusk to Dawn sites.
D. On October 23, 2017, the City Council approved a site at 605 and 717 Highway 99
as a site for the Dusk to Dawn overnight sleeping program, to replace a former site at the Eugene
Service Station and allow for expanded capacity. On October 31, 2017, the City Manager issued
Administrative Order No. 53-17-06 which authorized up to 80 persons to sleep overnight at that
site.
E. It is necessary to amend the terms of the use for the Highway 99 site to allow more
people to use the site.
NOW THEREFORE, based on the above findings, I order that:
1. The terms of use for the 605 and 717 Highway 99 Dusk to Dawn overnight sleeping
site are amended to provide as follows:
Up to 95 persons may sleep overnight at 605 and 717 Highway 99 pursuant to the
Dusk to Dawn overnight sleeping program (a) adopted by Ordinance No. 20559, and
Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2
amended by Ordinance No. 2056' ) and Ordinance No. 20576; and (b) implemented by the
Administrative Rules issued by the City Manager.
2. Administrative Order No. 53-17-06 is repealed as of the effective date of this Order.
Dated and effective this day of March, 2018.
