City Manager of the City of Eugene
SETTING SIDEWALK AND DRIVEWAY APRON REPLACEMENT AND
GRINDING MAINTENANCE SERVICES FEES AND SUPERSEDING
THE FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO.
58-20-24-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. EC 7 .154 provides that if sidewalk repair or reconstruction is performed
by City forces , the owner shall be charged at a rate established by the City Manager which shall
cover the costs of the work , including supervision, inspection , billing , overhead , and whatever
add iti onal costs any extraordinary aspect of the work entails .
B. Pursuant to the above authority, on January 21, 2021, I issued Administrative Order
No. 58-20-24-F making the most recent changes to the Sidewalk and Driveway Apron
Replacement and Grinding Maintenance Services fees and adopting an updated Sidewalk and
Driveway Apron Replacement and Grinding Maintenance Services Fee Schedule ("the Fee
Sched ule ").
C. On June 5, 2024 , I issued Administrative Order No. 58-24-06 , ordering that notice
be given of the opportunity to submit written comments on my proposal to set new Sidewalk and
Driveway Apron Replacement and Grinding Maintenance Services fees. The Notice specified that
comments on the proposed amendments would be received for 15 days from June 13 , the po st ing
date of the Notice. Notice of the fees proposed to be $250 or greater was also published in the
Register-Guard Newspaper on June 10 , 2024. 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)
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. The Sidewalk and Driveway Apron Replacement and Grinding Maintenance
Services Fee Schedu le 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.

Findings:
Full costs for providing services were including in the findings for approval of AO #58-20-

additional adjustments to rates is necessary to bridge the gap to achieve full cost
recover. (See Attachment 1 to Exhibit C)

In 2019 Public Works reached out to other jurisdictions to consider the practices and
cost of similar programs. Locally, several contractors that do this work were also
surveyed and their costs were considered as part of the decision process to increase
fees shown in AO #58-20-24-F. (See Attachment 2 to Exhibit C)
(e) The revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted city budget.
