AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2433 (MASTER FEE SCHEDULE) TO
ESTABLISH USER FEES FOR WOODBURN OWNED AND MANAGED ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(EV) CHARGING STATIONS
WHEREAS, in September 1998, the City Council adopted the first Master Fee
Schedule to account for the City's reasonable costs in providing special services;
and
WHEREAS, in Ordinance No. 2433, the City stated it desired to establish a
policy of recovering the full costs reasonably borne of providing services of a
voluntary and limited nature, such that general taxes are not diverted from
general services of a broad nature and thereby utilized to subsidize unfairly and
inequitably such special services; and
WHEREAS, updates to the fee schedule are periodically made when the City
commences to provide a new voluntary service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Woodburn has installed new electric vehicle (EV)
charging stations at six (6) publicly accessible locations throughout the
community; and
WHEREAS, charging an EV charging rate and other associated fees will help
the City provide greater accessibility to EV charging while also allowing for
recovery of electricity, network, and routine operation and maintenance costs;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to implement an EV charging rate
schedule for the City of Woodburn owned and managed EV charging stations;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to ORS 294.160, at its meeting on August 10, 2026, the
City Council provided an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the
enactment of this Ordinance and its proposed fee; NOW, THEREFORE,
