Nault, Finance Director RESOLUTION NO. 97-69 PLACING ASSESSMENTS FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ON THE 1997/98 TAX ROLL RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 97-69 placing assessments for solid waste collection on the Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 1997/98. FISCAL IMPACT: None. 'DISCUSSION: In accordance with our current Franchise Agreement, Waste Management of Orange County, Inc., has submitted the attached correspondence dated June 18, 1997 regarding a rate adjustment for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 1997. They have submitted the proper documentation to support their request and Staff has confirmed the computations and source factors. We have also audited four months of weight tickets from the landfill to confirm the tonnage deposited. We did not find any material discrepancies. Based on Staff's review, the rates as proposed in the attached Exhibit E are appropriate. As pointed out in Exhibit E, the calculated rate for 1997/98 is an increase of $0.43 per month, $5.16 for the year, from the 1996/97 rates. The County has reduced the landfill fees by $5 per ton effective July 1, 1997. This reduction has been taken into consideration and is reflected in the detail of Exhibit B. Because of the complexity of our rates, the impact of this fee reduction is mitigated by the MRF (Material Recovery Facility) costs, the prior period adjustment dropping out of the calculation, and a slight increase' in the recorded average pounds per week picked up. There is currently a surplus of approximately $14,000 in the trash fee clearing account. We usually experience minor fluctuations in this account due .to delinquencies, prior period collections, etc. Because of the nature of the fees Staff recommends that an additional $0°09 be credited to residents when the rates are placed on the Tax Roll. The Contractor will receive the full $12.17 per unit per month, but residents who were .on the Tax Roll last year will only be charged $12.08 of this amount; the balance will come from the surplus on the' City's books. The following details the proposed changes to the rates fOr 1997/98: Per Unit/Month Annualized 1996/97' Rate Adjustments: Collection Charges Disposal Charges 1997/98 Rate 1997/98 Adjustment $11.74 $140.88 0.05 0.60 0.38 4.56 $12.17 $146.04 <0.09> <1.08> $12.08 $144.96 3.5% Staff is gathering survey information on MRF and Collection charges from other Cities.
