September 18, 2009
Adjustments were needed in some of our fees due to costs for services provided being greater than existing fees. Some adjustments were also made to fees for services that were previously subsidized at some level by Lane County. The new fees were approved by the Board of Commissioners on September 16th and will become effective January 1, 2010. The new fee schedule is available here.
July 2009:
A special benefit deposit for vacation of public property, or public interest in property under the jurisdiction of Lane County was implemented by the Board of Commissioners on July 24th. Our existing vacation fees which recover our actual processing costs will remain unchanged; however, payment by the petitioners of a deposit equal to the estimated special benefit that results from the vacation and disposition of property to the benefited property owners may now also be required in some cases. If the vacation is approved, the special benefit deposit will be retained by Lane County. If the vacation is denied, the special benefit deposit will be returned to the landowners. Vacations that have special benefit value estimated at less than $2,500 will not be subject to the deposit.
The new procedures for special benefit deposits became effective on July 24th, 2009. They will be specified in Lane Manual 60.853(3) www.lanecounty.org/LaneManual
October 2008:
The Lane County Surveyor’s Office is pleased to announce it’s partnership with Oregon Department of Transportation (O.D.O.T.) Geometronics division and their Oregon Real Time GPS Network (ORGN). With the proper GPS receiver and a cell phone, users will be able to access this data (which is currently free), compliments of the Lane County Surveyors Office and O.D.O.T. Surveyors can access this signal through their GPS equipment to perform all types of surveys with centimeter accuracy and without the worry of clouds or fog obscuring their line of sight. Currently the Lane County Surveyor’s Office has two base stations for accessing this data, one at the County Courthouse and the other in Florence. Special recognition is given to the City of Eugene, City of Springfield, EWEB, and Lane County Public Works for helping to bear the cost of the software and hardware which makes this system possible.
Here is the web address for those of you that wish to check out the O.R.G.N further. www.theorgn.net
