DELEGATION OF DUTIES UNDER SECTION 5.040 THROUGH 5.055
OF THE EUGENE CODE, 1971, AND DUTIES OF TRAFFIC ENGINEER;
AND REPEAL OF ADl\flNISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-09-14.
The City Manage1· of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Sections 5 .040 through 5.055 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorize the City
Manager to delegate the administrative duties defined in those sections.
B. Administrative Order No. 58-09-14, signed on September 24, 2009, delegated the
authority to exercise the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City
Manager in sections 5.040 and 5.050 of the Eugene Code to the Traffic Engineer of the Public
Works Department and, for particular streets, to the Executive Director of the Library, Recreation
& Cultural Services Department.
C. It would be more efficient and therefore in the public interest to change the
delegation of authority set out in Administrative Order No. 58-09-14 to enable the Executive
Director of the Public Works Department to perform and delegate the administrative duties
described as the City Manager's under Eugene Code 5. 040 through 5. 055.
D. Administrative orders and administrative rules of the City assign various duties
and responsibilities to the City of Eugene Traffic Engineer. It would be most efficient, and
therefore in the public interest, for these duties and responsibilities to be delegated to the
Executive Director of the Public Works Department for further delegation to qualified
employees.
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. The Executive Director of the Public Works Department shall have the authority
to exercise all of the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager
in Sections 5.040, 5.045 and 5.050 of the Eugene City Code.
2. The Executive Director of the Library, Recreation & Cultural Services
Department shall have concurrent authority to exercise the duties and responsibilities specifically
defined as those of the City Manager in Section 5.040 of the Eugene City Code for: (a) the area
between the Downtown Library and the curbs on Olive Street, 10th Avenue and Chamelton
Street; and (b) the alley behind the Downtown Library.
3. The Executive Director of the Public Works Department shall have the authority
to exercise all of the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the Traffic
Engineer, including but not limited to those duties and authorities stated in Administrative Orders
and Administrative Rules.

4. Upon finding it would be more efficient and in the public interest to do so, the
Executive Director of the Public Works Department is authorized to further delegate the duties
and responsibilities described in Sections 1 and 3 of this order to such person or persons
qualified to perform the delegated duties.
5. Tue delegations of authority contained herein shall be construed to extend to and
include any person(s) "acting in capacity" (AIC) for the persons to whom authority is delegated.
6. Administrative Order No. 58-09-14 is repealed as of the effective date of this
Order.
Dated and effective this ~ day of August, 2020.
