Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 4714 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, ESTABLISHING SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING FEES WITHIN THE CITY OF
BOZEMAN.
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2016
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 4714
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2017 budget was approved with Solid Waste Fund
collection and recycling fees increasing by 2% in FY17 and an addition 2% in FY18. Not all
city residents are customers of our Solid Waste programs – so not all residents will be subject to this change.
This increase is estimated to bring in an additional $65,000 in FY17 and $137,000 in FY18,
above where current rates are established today.
This rate increase is needed to fund the continued operations of the Solid Waste collection and
recycling programs. See the attached Revenue and Expense projections.
The detailed rate schedule is found in Schedule A of the Resolution.
We have added Section G regarding Tenant Deposits to outline the way we are now accepting
service requests from tenants/renters when property owners do not want to have potential
delinquent tenant solid waste charges applied as a lien to the property. This system allows for a
deposit to be held by City Hall, so that there will not be delinquent charges on the tenant account.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: Do not adopt the rate increase.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Solid Waste collection and recycling fees will increase 2% for services beginning on October 1, 2016, and by an additional 2% beginning on October 2017.
Revenue to the Solid Waste Fund will increase by $5,400/month beginning October 2016, and by
an additional $5,500 beginning October 2017.
250
Our typical residential solid waste customers (65 gallon tote) will see an increase by $0.37 per
month for service beginning October 1, 2016 and an additional $0.37 per month for service
beginning October 1, 2017.
