BACKGROUND Solid waste rates were established in 2000 based on the DMG Maximus (DMG) rate study. When reviewing the rate section of the ordinance, staff realized that there were several items unintentionally omitted at that time, and several other items not updated since. Additionally, ordinance 4765 allows for annual adjustments of the residential trash rate equal to the consumer price index. This adjustment has been waived for both 2008 and 2009. DISCUSSION The following corrections are reflected in the proposed ordinance (attached): - In 2000, no rate was formally set for cardboard recycling, although the rate of 50% of normal dumpster costs is being charged. - Container rental charges were not included in the ordinance. - No rate was set for small business commercial recycling. This program has been in a trial basis, with no charge to the commercial customer, since approximately 2000.. A number of additional businesses have been on a waiting list to receive this service, but it could not be increased until a rate was formally established. The actual cost of service is the same as residential recycling, so the residential rate, as identified in the 2009 R. W. Beck Recycling Study, is being applied. Customers in this program have reduced trash volume, creating a potential savings in their trash rate if they use a smaller trash container or have a reduced pick up frequency. Commercial solid waste rates have not changed since 2000. Staff intends to perform a rate study in 2010 to evaluate all solid waste rates. BUDGETIMPACT This rate ordinance will create a slight revenue increase due to the extension of the existing residential recycling rate to small commercial customers.
