ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-21-21-F
of the
City Manager of the City of Eugene
INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENTS TO SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES FOR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, LOCAL WASTEWATER
SYSTEM, REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM, STORMWATER SYSTEM,
AND PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM.
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 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, so long as the fees are not increased by more than
five percent within any 12-month period.
B. Inflationary adjustments to the Local Wastewater, Regional Wastewater and
Stormwater System SDCs have been adopted most recently by Administrative Order No. 58-19-
11-F, effective August 1, 2019. Inflationary adjustments to the Transportation System SDCs were
most recently adopted as part of the update to the Transportation SDC methodology by Resolution
No. 5254, effective January 1, 2020. Inflationary adjustments to the Parks and Recreation System
SDCs were most recently considered as part of the update to the Parks and Recreation SDC
methodology by Resolution No 5306, effective August 13, 2020.
C. Section 2.4 of the City of Eugene System Development Charge Methodology
provides for periodic inflationary adjustments to the SDC rates for the Transportation, Local
Wastewater, Regional Wastewater, Stormwater and Parks and Recreation Systems by applying the
20-city national average construction cost index published by Engineering News-Record (ENR)
and / or the Lane County Assessor’s Office Certified Ratio Study (when adjusting the SDC for
acquisition costs of real property).
D. Based on the Engineering News-Record 20-City National Average Construction
Cost Index of 2.96% (March 2020 through April 2021), these increases will not result in a 5% or
greater fee revision within a 12-month period.
E. Based on the Lane County Assessor’s Office Certified Ratio Study, the acquisition
costs of real property increased by 7.52%.

F. Pursuant to Sections 2.020 and 7.710(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971, to Section 2.4
of the SDC Methodology and to the recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater
Management Commission, and after considering the applicable policies, enactments and directivesof the City
Council, the amount charged for these services by the City in the past, the full costs ofproviding the services,
the amounts charged by other comparable providers and the revenue needsof the City (see Exhibit B), on
June 9, 2021, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-21-21 directing that public Notice be given advising
the public of an opportunity to submit comments on my proposal to implement inflationary increases to the
SDC rates for theTransportation, Local Wastewater, Regional Wastewater, Stormwater and Parks and
Recreation Systems as shown in Exhibit A to this Order.
G. Notice of the proposed amendments was provided to the Mayor and City Councilors,
to persons who requested such notice, by publication in the Register Guard newspaper, and by
posting online and at City Hall.
H. 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.
I. I find that the inflationary adjustments set forth in Exhibit A to this Order 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, 2021.
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. The adjusted Systems Development Charges for Transportation System, Local
Wastewater System, Regional Wastewater System, Stormwater System, and Parks and Recreation
System set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Order are to be implemented effective July 1, 2021.
2. The unamended Systems Development Charges for Transportation System, Local
Wastewater System, Regional Wastewater System, Stormwater System, and Parks and Recreation
System remain in full force and effect.
Dated this 25th day of June, 2021.

City Manager’s Findings
Proposed Systems Development Charge Inflationary Adjustments to
Systems Development Charges for Transportation System, Local
Wastewater System, Regional Wastewater System, Stormwater System, and
Parks and Recreation System.
Pursuant to Section 2.020(2) of the Eugene Code, 1971, the City Manager has considered the
following factors in determining the proposed Systems Development Charge Inflationary
Adjustments to Systems Development Charges for Transportation System, Local Wastewater
System, Regional Wastewater System, Stormwater System, and Parks and Recreation System
(a) Applicable policies, enactments and directives of the Council.
EC 7.710 states that “an amendment to a methodology that changes the amount of a
reimbursement fee or an improvement fee based on the periodic application of an
adopted specific cost index or on a change in the costs of materials, labor or real
property applied to projects or projected capacity on a project list adopted pursuant to
section 7.715(2) may be adopted by the City Manager by administrative order pursuant
to section 2.020 of this code.”
(b) The amount charged by the City in the past.
SDC System FY21 Proposed FY22
Parks (SFD) $4,308 $4,414
Transportation (trip) $3,272 $3,337.77
Local Wastewater
(residential dwelling
unit base fee)
$4,476.06 $4,566.03
SW (medium
residential > 1,000 sq.
ft and < 3,000 sq. ft.)
$687.59 $701.41
(c) The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee.
The inflationary rates used to arrive at the proposed SDC increases are
determined by reliable sources and the proposed SDC rate increases reasonably
rely on those sources to determine the additional sums needed to develop the
projects on the ORS 223.309 capital improvement plans for each system of
SDCs due to inflation.
Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 58-21-21-F
Page 2 of 2
(d) The amounts charged by other comparable providers.
The City of Eugene SDC fee, as compared to other similarly sized communities, remain
relatively low. The data below is sample in Parks SDCs and was presented to City
Council in 2020.
Community Single-Family Rate Comparison FY20
Bend $8,300
Hillsboro $9,535
Wilsonville $5,374
Salem $4,613
Eugene $4,414 (proposed FY22)
(e) The revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted city budget.
The revenue needs for SDCs are expressed through documents reviewed and approved by the
City Council through a process separate from the city budget process.
