AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL DEALERS'
BUSINESS LICENSE TAX AND REPEALING SECTION 3 OF
ORDINANCE NO. 203379
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. On January 24, 2005, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 20337 which
amended subsection (b) of Section 3.467 of the Eugene Code, 1971, by increasing the motor
vehicle fuel dealer tax from three to five cents per gallon. Section 3 of Ordinance No. 20337
contained a sunset provision to cause the tax to revert to three cents per gallon on February 29,
2008.
B. On January 28, 2008, the City Council enacted ordinance No. 20401 which
amended Section 3 of Ordinance No. 20337 by extending the sunset provision. The amendment
provided that "Unless otherwise extended by the City Council, the amendment to Subsection (b)
of Section 3.467 shall sunset on February 28, 2011, and the tax will revert to three cents per
gallon."
C. Although substantial street preservation work has been completed utilizing the
five -cent per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax, the backlog of needed repair work continues to grow
and construction costs continue to rise.
D. The City Council finds it is in the public interest to repeal the sunset provision in
Section 3 of ordinance No. 20337, and allow the motor vehicle fuel dealer's business license tax
as set forth in Section 3.467(b) of the Eugene Code, 1971, to remain at five cents per gallon.
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the above findings,
THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 3 of Ordinance No. 20337 (the sunset provision) is repealed.
Section 2. A copy of this Ordinance shall be appended to ordinance No. 20337 and
Ordinance No. 20401.
