Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
Debbie Arkell, Director of Public Services
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSENT: Ratification of Commission Resolution 4108, Revising the
Solid Waste Collection Fees For Fiscal Year 2009 and Fiscal Year 2010
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Adopt the Following Fee Schedule, developed in
accordance with Commission action approving Resolution No. 4108 on June 23, 2008.
BACKGROUND: During the public hearing the Commission adopted Resolution No. 4108,
with the amendment that 35 Gallon Tote prices do not increase in FY09 & FY10, and that the
associated lost revenue be spread among the other tote prices “as staff saw fit.”
We have developed the attached fee schedule, which spreads the lost revenue based on volume
and customer count for each of the remaining tote sizes. This results in the 35 Gallon tote prices
not increasing and total revenue collected by the Solid Waste Division unchanged from the
original proposed rate structure.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The City will collect an estimated 9% more in Solid Waste revenues in
FY09 and an additional 5% more in FY10. These increases affect commercial accounts and
residential accounts, with the break-down among residential accounts as follows:
Current FY09 FY10
Weekly Collection: Rate FY09 Increase FY10 Increase
