The City Engineer of the City of Eugene.finds that:
A.Under the provisions of Chapter IV, Section 16 of the Eugene Charter of 2002, the
City Manager is designated as the administrative head of the City and is specifically authorized to
enforce all ordinances of the City. In addition, EC 5.040 authorizes the City Manager or the
Manager's designee to "establish, maintain, remove, or alter ... parking_areas and time limitations,
including the form of permissible parking" and to "impose conditions upon which the streets and
other public property may be used for parking." EC 5.055 sets forth the criteria the City Manager
or the City Manager's designee should consider when taking administrative action authorized by
EC 5.040.
B.On August 5, 2020, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 58-20-17
granting the Executive Director of the Public Works Department the authority to exercise all of
the duties and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager in Sections 5.040,
5.045 and 5.050 of the Eugene Cpde, 1971. That Order also granted the Executive Director of the
Public Works Department the authority to further delegate those duties and responsibilities to such
person or persons qualified to perform the delegated duties.

Administrative Order No. 58-20-18 grant�ng the City Engineer the authority to perform the duties
and responsibilities specifically defined as those of the City Manager in Sections 5.040, 5.045 and
5.050 of the Eugene Code, 1971.
D.On May 8, 2023, Administrative Order No. 58-23-23 was issued removing specific
parking spaces on High Street. After project construction, it has been determined there are
additional parking spaces to be removed to addre�s traffic operations.
E.For the safety and welfare of the public, it is necessary to remove parking from the
west side of Jefferson Street from W 11th Avenue to W 10th Alley (two on-street parking spaces)
and on the east side of J eff�rson Street from W 11 th Avenue to the driveway of the residence at
591 W 11th Avenue (three on-street parking spaces). See Exhibit A for an aeri.al overview of
proposed parking removal.

EC 5.055. The following findings support my decision to remove parking:
