HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FINANCE DEPARTMENT RESOLUTION #94-86 PLACING ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ON THE 1994-95 TAX ROLL FOR SOLID WASTE RECOHMENDATION: Conduct first public hearing of Resolution No. 94-86 which directs the Finance Director to place the charges for solid waste collection as detailed in the following discussion on the tax roll for Fiscal Year 1994-95. FISCAL IMPACT: None DISCUSSION: The attached correspondence from Great Western Reclamation (GWR) requests an adjustment as permitted by the franchise agreement in the solid waste collection fees for 1994-95. The calculated formula produces an adjustment of 4.7 percent or about $.50 per month per unit. Exhibits "A" through "F" support this request. Our fees have two components, the cost of collection and the cost of disposal representing approximately 45 percent and 55 percent respectively. The collection charge is allowed to increase by a weighted average increase based on seven individual cost categories supported by Exhibit "F". The numbers have been verified with the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the 1.59 percent cumulative increase is appropriate. The disposal charges include the material recovery facility (~fRF) processing costs and the actual cost of disposal at the landfill. The County landfill did not increase for the second year in a row but the MRF costs will increase by 4 percent. The two components combine 'for a total increase of 3.3 percent. The adjustments are detailed in Exhibit "A". Exhibits "C" and "D" support an additional adjustment in the disposal charges based on the actual disposal volumes and changes in the number of collection units during 1994-95 which is adjusted retroactively and reflected in the new rates. This $0.11 adjustment brings the total proposed increase fcr 1994-95 to 4.89 percent, or $0.50 per month per residential unit. Page 2 3uly 12, 1994 The proposed 1994-95 residential rate is $11.11, the actual rate for 1993-94 was $10.61 per month. However, the proposed rate will actually represent an increase of $1.81 per month which is a result of a City Council decision to reduce the 19'93-94 rate by applying a $1.31 per month credit. This credit was an outcome of a prior year adjustment for actual tonnage collected versus estimates for the first year of data collection under the new AB 939 guidelines. The proposed rate of $11.11 per month is still very favorable when compared with the most recent study (attachment I) which indicates the county wide average is $12.34 per month and the median rate is $12.30 per month. (The commercial bin service and the commercial can rates are allowed to increase in relationship to the formula used to calculate the residential rate.)

To summarize, the residential and commercial can rate increase amounts to $.50 per month or 4.7%. This is made up of 8C for hauling, 31C for MRF disposal and llC for a volume adjustment based on the actual pounds per home for 1993/94. The llC volume adiustment is temporary and goes away after 6/30/94. The commercial bin rate increase is made up of 1.59% for collection and 3.34% for disposal and represents and overall average increase of 2.3%. I understand that Irma Hernandez and Jerry Fant will be meeting next week to 5nalize the residential unit count for the tax roll billing.
