ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 21-99-02
of the
City Manager
City of Eugene, Oregon
Delegating Authority to Accept Real Property or
Interest in Real Property to the City Recorder.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 1976, the
City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City, and is specifically authorized to
appoint and remove all employees (except as otherwise provided in the Charter), and to enforce all
ordinances of the City.
B. Newly enacted provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes (HB 3581), requires that any
instrument conveying "title or interest" in property to the City must have the City's acceptance of
the conveyance endorsed thereon before it will be accepted for recording. As business agent for the
City for property transactions under the Charter, and pursuant to provisions of the Eugene Code,
1971, I currently have authority to note the City's acceptance on such documents.
C. The City Recorder is the custodian of the records of the City, and it would be in the
public interest and consistent with current practices of approving documents for recording that the
authorization to note the City's acceptance on documents conveying "title or interest" in property
be delegated to the City Recorder.
D. The City Recorder should also be specifically authorized to delegate all or any of the
duties or responsibilities delegated herein upon a determination it would be more efficient and in the
public interest to do so.
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY MANAGER OF THE CITY OF EUGENE ORDERS AND DIRECTS
THAT:
1. Based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted, the authority to endorse the
City's acceptance on a document conveying "title or interest" in property to the City is hereby
delegated to the City Recorder. The City Recorder is authorized to note the approval by stamping
or writing on the document, "Accepted by the City of Eugene."
Administrative Order - 1
2. The City Recorder may in turn delegate any of the duties or responsibilities delegated
herein to such person or persons qualified to perform the delegated duties upon finding it would be
more efficient and in the public interest to do so.
3. The delegations of authority contained herein shall be construed to extend to and
include any person(s) "acting in capacity" (AIC).
Dated and effective this 28th day of October, 1999.
