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: Commission Resolution 4108, Revising the Solid Waste Collection Fees
For Fiscal Year 2009 and Fiscal Year 2010
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2008
REOCMMENDATION: That the City Commission pass revised Resolution No. 4108,
revising the Solid Waste Collection fees for Fiscal Year 2009 and Fiscal Year 2010 according to
Schedule A of the Resolution. Fiscal Year 2009 fees will become effective on July 1, 2008 and
Fiscal Year 2010 fees will become effective on July 1, 2009.
BACKGROUND: The current solid waste collection fees were established in August 2006.
That fee schedule contained no change in garbage tote collection fees, a small decrease in
dumpster collection fees, and an increase in roll-off container collection fees. No fee changes
were made in 2007.
Due to the increase in fuel and other operating costs, including the need for all City collection
vehicles to now travel to the Logan Landfill, an across-the-board 9% fee increase is needed for
FY09 and an across-the-board 5% fee increase will be needed for FY10. The Excess Garbage
Tag Fee has been eliminated and a notation that a special pickup fee may be charged for
additional or special pickup requests has been added.
Per 7-1-4127, MCA, notice of this fee change hearing has been published, and the Resolution has
been available in the City Clerk’s office for public review. Since that time, minor changes have
been to the Resolution. These changes do not affect the rate increase, and are shown in blue on
the attached Resolution.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The increased fees will help offset collecting solid waste within the City
and delivering it to the Logan Landfill. A resident with a 65 gallon tote will see an increase from
$14.10 to $15.37 (+$1.27) in their FY09 monthly bill, and an additional $0.77 increase in FY10.
This monthly charge is for one time per week service.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Attachments: Resolution No. 4108

Divide the estimated weight of the excess garbage by the tag size to determine number of
