ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 57-25-03
of the
City Manager of the City of Eugene
REGARDING THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON A PROPOSAL
TO AMEND THE RECREATION DIVISION FEE SCHEDULE.
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. Pursuant to that authority, the City has implemented a Recreation
Division Fee Schedule (“the Fee Schedule”). The most recent amendments to the Fee Schedule
were adopted on December 31, 2024, by Administrative Order No. 57-24-05-F.
B. In determining whether to amend the Fee Schedule, in accordance with EC
2.020(2), I have considered the following factors: applicable policies, enactments and directives
of the City Council; the amount charged for these services by the City in the past; the full costs of
providing the services supported by the fees; the amounts charged by other comparable providers;
and the revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted City budget. See Exhibit B.
C. Based on my consideration of the factors listed above, I propose to replace the Fee
Schedule with an updated Fee Schedule as set forth in the Notice attached as Exhibit A to this
Order.
On the basis of these findings, I order that a copy of this Order with its exhibits shall be
provided to the Mayor and City Councilors, and a Notice substantially conforming to the Notice
attached as Exhibit A shall be made available to any persons who have requested such notice and
posted at two locations at City Hall.
Dated this 2nd day of December, 2025.

City Manager’s Findings
Proposed Recreation Division Fee Schedule Amendments
Pursuant to Section 2.020(2) of the Eugene Code, 1971, the City Manager has considered the
following factors in determining the proposed Recreation Division Fee Schedule amendments:
(a) Applicable policies, enactments and directives of the Council.
Findings:
The City of Eugene’s City Council adopts a City-wide budget regularly. Budgets include
expense and revenue targets, including those for the Recreation Division. Beginning July
1, 2023, the City changed from a 12-month, July-to-June budget cycle, to a 24-month
(biennial) cycle. The changes proposed herein are to be effective six months into the first
fiscal year of the 2025-2027 biennium budget.
Proposed changes to pool single visit (drop-in) fees are reflected herein. These
proposed changes are to be effective January 1, 2026.
(b) The amount charged by the City in the past.
Findings:
Pool Single Visit (Drop-In) Fees
One proposed change is to increase single visit fees at Amazon, Echo Hollow,
and Sheldon Pools. Single visit fees for youth and seniors are proposed to
increase from $5.50 to $6.00 per visit; for adults from $6.00 to $7.00 per visit;
and for families from $18.00 to $20.00 per visit.
(c) The full costs of providing the service supported by the fee.
Findings:
The Recreation Division incurs personnel and materials and supply expenses. In fiscal
year 2025, its total general fund expenses, excluding those grant-related, totaled
approximately $13.2 million. These costs are partially offset by revenues including, but
not limited to, program/league registration, rental, contracted programs, and late fees.
The Recreation Division’s revenue was 26% of total costs in fiscal year 2025, and
historically tracks about 30%.
(d) The amounts charged by other comparable providers.
Findings:
The following summarizes the changes specified above, as well as comparisons to other
providers.
Exhibit B
to Administrative Order No. 57-25-03-F
Findings – Page 2 of 2
Pool Single Visit (Drop-In) Fees: The proposed pool drop-in fees are positioned
in the middle of the range of similar fees for similar providers in the regions such
as public sector agencies, and park and recreation districts.
(e) The revenue needs of the City as determined by the adopted city budget.
Findings:
The Recreation Division incurs personnel and materials and supply expenses that align
with its portion of the City’s adopted budget. These budgeted costs are partially offset by
an expectation for the collection of a range of fees and charges including, but not limited
to, program registration, rental, contracted program, and late fees. The Recreation
Division’s 2025-2027 biennium, general fund adopted City budget targets revenue
collections of about $8.0 million. The proposed pool single visit (drop-in) fee increases
range from 9-17% and thus would be expected to increase the collection of those fees
by an amount in that range, on an annual basis.
Factors listed above that are irrelevant or inapplicable in determining the amount of the
fees, if any: n/a
