TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF MULTIPLE UNIT PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTIONS UNDER SECTIONS 2.945 AND 2.947 OF THE EUGENE CODE,
1971, THROUGH JULY 31, 2014.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds as follows:
A. The City's Multiple Unit Property Tax Exemption Program under Sections 2.945
and 2.947 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (the MUPTE program), which is enabled by state statute,
was first implemented by the City in July of 1977. Since its initial implementation, the MUPTE
program has been modified various times.
B. On February 27, 2013, Ordinance No. 20508 was adopted suspending the
MUPTE program until July 1, 2013, to allow Council time to evaluate the MUPTE program and
determine whether changes should be made to the program. On May 29, 2013, Ordinance No.
20512 was adopted extending the sunset date of the MUPTE program suspension to August 31,
2013.
C. On June 24, 2013, Council held a Work Session and determined that the
suspension should be extended until July 31, 2014, to allow Council more time to develop and
adopt revisions to the program and have the revisions become effective before the suspension
expires.
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1 . The findings set forth above are adopted.
Section 2 . Section 3 of Ordinance No. 20508 is amended by extending the sunset
date to July 31, 2014.
