This year, there is no rate adjustment and rates will remain unchanged. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 05-90 placing assessments for residential solid waste collection on the Orange County Property Tax Roll for fiscal year 2005-2006. FISCAL IMPACT None BACKGROUND Single family residents in Tustin pay their solid waste fees via assessments placed on the property tax roll for each parcel. The City is required to conduct a public hearing prior to approving the placement of the assessments on the tax roll. Typically, solid waste rates are adjusted annually for cost of living increases or other extraordinary adjustments. However, this year there are no rate adjustments for single family customers due to an agreement with Federal Disposal Service that was approved by the City Council in March. Currently there are 10,225 units on 9,573 parcels that are assessed solid waste fees. The total residential assessment amounts to $1,645,407. There are 182 new single family parcels being added to the tax roll this year due primarily to new development. Upon receipt of the assessment funds from the County of Orange, the City passes the money directly to the hauler for the cost of services.
