ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N~. 44-92-05.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
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.
B. Under Section 194.164 of the Oregon Revised Statutes, Notaries ~ Public may
charge fees for performing notarial acts. Oregon Administrative Rule SOAR} 160-100-0400 set
the maximum fees that notaries public may charge for performing notarial acts.
C. City employees who are notaries have entered into letters of agreement with the
City far the performance of employment-related notarial duties for which no fees are char ed.
g
On August 11, 1992, Administrative Order No. 44-92-05 was adopted establishing fees for
notarial services by City employees when those services are performed for members of the
public by City employees during working hours and are not related to, nor required b , Ci
Y tY
procedures, The notary fees did not exceed those set out in OAR 160-100-0400.
D, OAR 160-100-0400 has recently been amended increasing the maximum amount
of notary fees .permitted to be charged,
E. On March S, 2010, I issued Administrative Order No. 44w 10-02, proposing to
amend the Notary Services Fee Schedule established by Administrative Order No. 44-92-OS due
to the amendment of OAR 160-100-0400. Notice of the proposed amendments was provided to
the Mayor and City Councilors and was made available ~ for review by interested persons at the
City's Manager's Office, 777 Pearl Street, Room 105, Eugene, Ore on, 97401, durin normal
., g g
business hours. In addition, on March 11, 2010, the Notice was posted at two locations at City
Hall.
F. The Notice provided that comments would be received for 15 days from the date
of posting. No comments were received within the time or in the manner described in the
Notice.
G. Based on the above findings, the Notary Services Fee Schedule should be
amended as proposed in order to compensate the City for interruption of City employees' regular
duties while performing notarial acts. In determining the fees, I have considered applicable
policies, enactments and directives of the council; the amount charged by the city in the past; the
full costs of providing the service supported by the fee; the amounts charged by other
comparable providers; and the revenue needs of the city as determined b the ado ted cit
Y p Y
budget.
