Title
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - WEEKLY BULK WASTE COLLECTION AND RATES.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 2018-10 approved an amendment to the franchise agreement for solid waste and recycling collection services with Waste Management to change the level of service for bulk waste collection from monthly to weekly collection along with a $0.90 per household per month increase to the disposal portion of the residential rate. Ordinance No. 2018-10 also approved paying for the additional $0.90 per month fee utilizing the Citizen’s Project Initiative fund through September 30, 2019.
For FY2020, staff recommends placing the increase for weekly bulk pickup service onto the utility bill. Due to an increase in disposal fees, the rate for FY2020 will increase $0.02 a month to $0.92 a month per household.
RECOMMENDATION: Keep the current weekly bulk collection and have the fee placed on the utility bill.
FISCAL IMPACT: $0.92 per household per month (FY2020)
