CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS A® REFUSE RATE INCREASE REQUEST A request has been received by Yukon Disposal and Rancho Disposal for a rate increase to come effective on 10-1-82. Staff report by Harry Empey, Finance Director. Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was: *Livia Lee Vallence asked what the percentage increase was. Mr. Empey responded that a 6.4% increase was being requested. There being no further response from the public, Mayor Mikels closed the public portion of the meeting. Mr. Dahl questioned the rate differences above Banyan. He could not justify an increase in rates for those above Banyan. Mr. Buquet stated he was surprised there were so few people present. He also stated he had difficulty with the rate being higher north of Banyan. He suggested that council take more time to study this. Mr. Burr, of Rancho Disposal, stated his increase was because of the rate increase at the County Dump which they were already paying. Residential billing is on a quarterly basis with the new quarter starting October 1. Therefore, they were asking for a decision tonight. Mr. Avakian, of Yukon Disposal, stated his billing period for residential would also begin the new quarter on October 1. Mr. Buquet stated that if council did not give the increase at this time, then the increase could be higher at January 1st to compensate for the loss.

Mr. Burr stated that the County already had investigated the need for the increase, therefore, most of the investigation has already been done for council. Regarding the dates for requesting increases, the County had changed this from October 1st to July 1st. Mr. Buquet stated that he really needed more time to talk with the other members of the council regarding this. He felt this could wait until next July for approval. Mr. Avakian stated that last year when they requested a rate increase, there was a problem existing. This problem came when the Cith was working on the contracts and requesting mandatory refuse service. After further discussion between the council and Mr. Burr and Mr. Avakian, council made the following decision: Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Dahl to approve the rates of $5.30, $6.45, and $7.15 as applicable to the area. Mr. Frost suggested that the companies next year not to put in an increase at the same time the County does. Next time if the companies came in late, then they would wait until January of the next year. Mr. Burr stated he would like to coincide this with the County report which is due May 1 of each year. M~. Buquet stated that people will be asking why there wasn't a public hearing on this. It was even presented as a staff report. Mr. Frost requested that the companies to do a public notice and for this to appear on the Consent Calendar setting the public hearing date. Both companies concurred that they would in the future publish a notice in the local newspapers and to notify people through the billing process. Added to the motion was that the companies would provide the necessary advance publications and notification for the public hearing.
