(a) Applicable policies, enactments and directives of the Council. - Sections 3.005 3.570, 3.572 and 3.574 of the Eugene Code (re: shared micromobility devices) - Through an adopted ordinance and plan, the City Council has set aggressive targets for reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. The City Council adopted the Climate Recovery Ordinance that set Climate Action Goals that include reducing community-wide fossil fuel use by 50 percent compared to 2010 usage with a benchmark target of a 25 percent reduction by 2020. The City Council adopted the Eugene 2035 Transportation system Plan (TSP), including a goal of supporting the city’s target of a 50 percent reduction in fossil fuel consumption and specifically calls for a tripling of the percentage of trips made on foot, by bicycle and by transit. (b) The amount charged by the City in the past. No license for shared micromobility operations has been implemented in the city previously. (c) The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee. Full service and operation costs will be covered by the licensee. After considering comments on the initial rule and fee proposals, City staff reconsidered the costs of providing the service and the means for ensuring the costs would be covered by the fees. An estimated $20,000 of staff time/year will be supported by the fees to pay for licensee management. Third-party data management for compliance is estimated at an additional $10,000 - $16,000. Collected fees beyond staff time costs will be applied to Transportation Options programs and projects. (d) The amounts charged by other comparable providers. Fees charged by other cities for shared micromobility licenses City Application Fee Permit/Operations Fee Vehicle Fee Trip/Parking Fee Other Fee Eugene (proposed) $500 $5000 $25* .05-.25† Berkeley $2,500 $20,000 $10,000 Oakland $2,500 $30,000 $64 Santa Monica $75 $20,000 $130 San Francisco $5,000 $25,000 $10,000 Portland $500 - $80 .05-.25 *†Estimated between $36,000 and $72,000, depending on number of trips and scooters deployed. (e) The revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted city budget. The City budget does not identify revenue needs based on micromobility operations. Findings – Page 1 of 1
