City Manager of the City of Eugene
SETTING POLICE SERVICES AND ANIMAL LICENSING,
REGISTRATION AND IMPOUNDMENT FEES AND SUPERSEDING THE
FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 56-20-
03-F.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows:
A. 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. Pursuant to the above authority, on November 3, 2020, I issued Administrative
Order No. 56-20-03-F establishing the current Police Services and Animal Licensing, Registration
and Impoundment Fee Schedule (“the Fee Schedule”).
C. On November 26, 2021, I issued Administrative Order No. 56-21-07-F, ordering
that notice be given of the opportunity to submit written comments on my proposal to amend the
Fee Schedule by setting new Used Merchandise Annual Reporting System fees. The Notice
specified that comments on the proposed amendments would be received for 15 days from
December 3, 2021, the publishing and posting date of the Notice. No comments were received
within the time or in the manner described in the Notice.
D. Based on my investigation pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.020 of the
Eugene Code, 1971, I find that the fees should be set as proposed. (See Exhibit B to this Order)
E. The unamended Police Services and Animal Licensing, Registration and
Impoundment fees adopted by Administrative Order No. 56-20-03-F are incorporated into the Fee
Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order.
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. The Police Services and Animal Licensing, Registration and Impoundment Fee
Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order is the schedule of fees to be charged for the described
services as of the effective date of this Order.
2. The Fee Schedule attached to Administrative Order No. 56-20-03-F is superseded
by the Police Services and Animal Licensing, Registration and Impoundment Fee Schedule
attached as Exhibit A to this Order, as of the effective date of this Order.
Dated and effective this 5th

City Manager’s Findings
Proposed Police Services Fee Schedule Amendments
Pursuant to Section 2.020(2) of the Eugene Code, 1971, the City Manager has considered the
following factors in determining the proposed Police Services fee amendments:
(a) Applicable policies, enactments and directives of the Council.
Findings: N/A
(b) The amount charged by the City in the past.
Findings: Fees for this service have fluctuated over the years, consistent with
fluctuating expenses associated with contractual obligations for obtaining the
service. The current vendor utilizes an annual fee escalation, so these
expenses will continue to increase each year.
(c) The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee.
Findings: These fees cover the operating cost of the contract with our vendor and is
prorated by historical numbers of transactions by each store.
(d) The amounts charged by other comparable providers.
Findings: N/A. There are no other comparable providers of this service as it is a unique
transactional relationship between used merchandise dealers and law
enforcement agencies that is governed by ordinance.
(e) The revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted city budget.
Findings: The collection of these fees are a budgeted revenue within EPD’s budget to
offset the cost of operating the program software. The vendor utilizes an
annually escalating fee structure, with the costs being passed on to the used
merchandise dealers who participate in the program, resulting in the program
being self-funded.
Factors listed above that are irrelevant or inapplicable in determining the amount of the
fees, if any:
