The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. Chapter 8 and Section 2.020 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC) authorize 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 that authority, on September 16, 2022, I issued Administrative Order No. 53-22-07-F making the most recent changes to the Construction Permit fees and adopting an updated Construction Permit Fee Schedule (“the Fee Schedule”). C. On July 7, 2023, I issued Administrative Order 53-23-02, ordering that notice be given of the opportunity to submit written comments on my proposal to amend the Fee Schedule. The Notice specified that comments on the proposed amendments would be received for 15 days from July 12, 2023, the 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 Construction Permit fees adopted by Administrative Order No. 53- 22-07-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 Construction Permit Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order is the schedule of fees to be charged for the described services effective August 1, 2023. 2. The Fee Schedule attached to Administrative Order No. 53-22-07-F is superseded by the Construction Permit Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Order effective August 1, 2023.

Fees related to the Electrical Specialty Code would see no change, and fees in the Public Works section are proposed to increase by an average of 15% due to right-sizing the fee to the cost of providing the service and continuing to work towards full cost-recovery for this service section. This proposed increase is in keeping with the historic practice of minor annual fee increases rather than significant increases every several years to reduce shock to the industry. Over this period (October 2022 to July 2023) the CPI The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee c) The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee Response: As the Construction Permits Fund is wholly fee supported, it is responsible for charging fees to cover all operating costs, maintaining an adequate fund reserve, and covering charges for allocated non-departmental expenses. The FY23 operational year is forecast to see an operating loss of approximately $220,000, reducing reserves which remain below target levels. d) The amounts charged by other comparable providers Response: Fees charged by the City of Eugene for implementation of the State Building Code are in keeping with code driven calculation methods and routinely fall in the upper-middle of municipalities in Oregon. Throughout the industry there is significant variance in charges for specific fees so a general charge for staff time is used for this comparison. A brief staff hour comparison table follows: Exhibit B to Administrative Order 53-23-02-F Page 2 of 2 Portland $ 180.00 Bend $ 149.30 Eugene $ 111.10 Salem $ 67.25 Medford $ 60.00 e) The revenue needs of the city as determined by the adopted city budget Response: Budgeted personnel costs are increasing 7.7% between FY23 and FY24 and forecast amounts are higher due to recent compensation and classification action increasing the overall personnel costs by an estimated 10.5% in FY24. Conclusion Based on the increase in operating personnel costs, the assessed reasonableness of the fees when compared to the total cost of providing the service, the legally mandated requirement to provide the service, the prevailing reserve amounts available by service type, and the demonstrated budgetary need to increase operating revenue for the fund associated with its increased expenses, the proposed fee increase is in keeping with historic practice, necessary to maintain appropriate levels of fund solvency, and required to maintain appropriate reserve levels for ongoing service provision.
