the City Manager to adopt rules for the administration and enforcement of provisions of the

53-95-12 adopting an Emergency Rule Concerning Construction Requirements Within Special
Flood Hazard Areas.
B. That Emergency Rule will expire on June 9, 1996 unless prior thereto it is adopted
as a permanent rule in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971.

of the City's programs relating to development within a special flood hazard area that the
