Continue the hearing until the next regular City Council meeting on Monday, August 19, 1996. 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, 1996 regarding a rate adjustment for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996. They have submitted the proper documentation to support their request and Staff has confirmed the computations and source factors. Based on Staff's review, rates as proposed in their Exhibit E are appropriate. As pointed out in their letter, the calculated rate for 1996/97 is a reduction of $0.51 per month, $6.12 for the year, from the 1995/96 rates. As'you are probably aware, the County reduced the landfill fees by $8 per. ton effective April 1, 1996. Because of the make-up of our rates, this fee reduction had a significant impact on the rate calculations for the new year. Included in their calculations is an additional one-time credit of 17 cents per unit which is the value of the landfill savings for the period April 1 - June 30, 1996. In addition, Staff is presently projecting a surplus of $20,000 in the trash fee clearing account. We usually experience minor fluctuations in this account due to delinquencies, prior period collections, etc., but the recent bankruptcy distribution of withheld property taxes has brought the balance to the level indicated. Because of the nature of the recent collections and the purpose of the fees, Staff recommends that an additional $0.21 be credited to residents when the rates are placed on the Tax Roll. The Contractor will receive the full $11.74 per unit per month; residents will be charged $11.53 of this amount and the balance will come from the surplus currently on the City's books. The following details the proposed changes to the rates for 1996/97: Per Unit/Month Annualized 1995/96 Rate Adjustments: (1) Collection Charges Disposal Charges 1996/97 Agreement 1996/97 Adjustment $12.25 $147.00. 0.14 1.68 <0.65> <7.80> $11.74 $140.88 <0.21> <2.52> $11.53 $138.36 Based on the attached survey prepared by the City of Irvine last May, the proposed City of Tustin rates for 1996/97 appear to be the third lowest in the County. Staff will be happy to respond to any questions regarding the Franchise Agreement and methodology of the annual rate adjustments. Ronald A.

These rate schedules reflect an overall decrease in rates due primarily to the reduction in county landfill tipping fees from $35.00/ton to $27/ton, effective April 1, 1996. Residential rates will decrease 51 cents per month (4.2%) from $12.25/month to $11.75/month. This includes a retro-active disposal adjustment credit for the period April - June '96. This credit will be reflected in the '96/'97 rates at 17 cents per month or $2.04 in total (see Exhibit B). Commercial rates will decrease 9% on the disposal component with each customer receiving a one-time disposal credit for the period April - June '96 on their July statement. Residential and commercial service component rates reflect a 2.8% weighted CPI increase in accordance with the formula specified in our contract.
