C2. Review Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment Request and Consider Presentation of Proposed Rates
to City Council for Consideration.
Linda Ceballos, Environmental Programs Manager, presented the staff report and provided background
and analysis of the review of the Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment which will be presented to City
Council for consideration.
Rose Radford, Project Manager, presented her firm's findings and explained their methodology for how
the rates were calculated in the report.
Mike Arreguin, Vice President; Bob Coon, Chief Financial Officer; Steve Bradshaw, Representative,
disagreed with the recommended adjustment in the consultant's report and explained their methodology
in their rate proposal. Mike explained that $1.50 was taken out twice and the carry forward amount for
increased disposal and processing costs is allowed per the Agreement. Burrtec staff also provided
copies of a solid waste rate survey for other cities. The rate survey was not provided to the City prior to
the meeting and therefore was not part of the agenda packet, however, it was relevant to the meeting
and is now available to view with the agenda packet.
Following discussion on the rate calculation methodology, the subcommittee concurred with
Mr. Arreguin's approach for calculating the carry forward amount. Based on this concurrence, James
Markman, City Attorney, advised that the Public Works Subcommittee members had the option to amend
staff's recommendation to include: (1) recalculating of the rates following this revised methodology, (2)
a review of the recalculated rates by staff, and (3) the subcommittee would receive the recalculated rates
by email. Staff would determine if a subsequent subcommittee meeting is required for further discussion
prior to issuance of the public hearing notice and consideration of the proposed rates by City Council.
