The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Section 2.020 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC), authorizes the City Manager of the City of Eugene to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal property, and licenses and permits. EC 7.710(5) and Section 2.4 of the Systems Development Charge (SDC) Methodologies authorize the City Manager to adopt by administrative order pursuant to EC 2.020, a change in the amount of a reimbursement fee or an improvement fee if the change in amount is less than 5% within any 12 -month period and is based on: (1) the periodic application of an adopted specific cost index (inflationary adjustment); or (2) a modification to any of the factors related to rate that are incorporated in the established methodologies. B. The adopted Regional Wastewater SDC Methodology provides for periodic adjustments to the SDC rate schedule by applying the Engineering News Record (ENR) annual "20 -City National Average" Construction Cost Index to the value of the existing system assets and to the value of future, non -bond funded projects and updating the actual costs for bond -funded projects. When the 2017 ENR CCI annual average of 10737 is applied to the 2017 SDC fees, in combination with updates to actual costs for bond -funded projects, the net result is an increase in SDC rates ranging from about 2.484% to 2.578%, depending upon the strength of wastewater discharge associated with development categories contained in the rate schedule. As such, this inflationary adjustment will not result in a 5% or greater fee increase within a 12 -month period. C. The SDC Methodologies were adopted by Resolution No. 4900 effective May 7, 2007, and have subsequently been amended. Inflationary adjustments to the Regional Wastewater System have been adopted, most recently by Administrative Order No. 58-16-14-F, effective July 1, 2016. D. Pursuant to Sections 2.020 and 7.710(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971, and Section 2.4 of the SDC Methodologies, and the recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission, on June 5, 2018, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-18-09 directing that public Notice be given advising the public of an opportunity to submit comments on my proposal to implement inflationary increases to the Systems Development Charges for Regional Wastewater System rates, effective July 1, 2018. In making the determination to implement the inflationary adjustments, I have considered the applicable policies, enactments and directives of the City Council, the amount charged by the City in the past, the full costs of providing these services supported by the fee, the amounts charged by other comparable providers, and the revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted City budget. Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2 E. Notice of the proposed amendments was given by providing copies of Administrative Order No. 58-18-09, including Exhibit A (the proposed amendments) and Exhibit B (the Notice), to the Mayor and City Councilors; making those documents available to persons who had requested such notice; making the documents available for review at the Eugene City Engineer's Office, Public Works Department, 99 East Broadway, Suite 400, Eugene, Oregon; and, on June 11, 2018, posting the documents at two City Hall locations. In addition, persons who requested notice of the amendments were mailed informational postcards as notification of the proposed amendments and, on June 11, 2018, a copy of the Notice marked as Exhibit B to Administrative Order No. 58-18-09 was published in the Register -Guard Newspaper. F. Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of posting and publication. No comments were received within the time or in the manner set forth in the Notice. G. I find that the inflationary adjustments set forth in Exhibit A are consistent with adopted policies of the City, are in conformity with applicable state law, are authorized by Section 7.710(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971, and should be implemented effective July 1, 2018. On the basis of these findings, I order that: 1. The adjusted Systems Development Charges for Regional. Wastewater Systems set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Order are to be implemented effective July 1, 2018. 2. The unamended Systems Development Charges for Regional Wastewater Systems remain in full force and effect. Dated this 'day of June, 2018. Jon R.
