Home My WebLink AboutD-4 Staff Report - Refuse Rate AdjustmentSCHEDULED ITEM D-4 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VIA: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER FROM: LOUIE F. LACASELLA, MANAGEMENT ANALYST DATE: MAY 1, 2017 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SCHEDULE AND NOTIFY PROPERTY OWNERS OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR REFUSE RATE ADJUSTMENT ON JUNE 19, 2017 SUMMARY: The City has entered into an Exclusive Franchise Agreement with Athens Services (“franchised hauler”) for refuse collection and recycling services. Each year refuse rates are adjusted to reflect changes in the cost of doing business and changes in disposal costs. In addition, the franchised hauler may request a rate adjustment due to extraordinary increases in operating costs arising out of new laws, mandates, or other conditions affecting costs (e.g., insurance). Pursuant to Proposition 218, all refuse rate adjustments must be approved at a public hearing with a notice to the public 45 days in advance of the hearing. The proposed action would set a public hearing for June 19, 2017 and direct Staff to mail notices of public hearing to consider the annual refuse rate adjustment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Set the public hearing for June 19, 2017; and 2) Direct Staff to mail a 45-day advanced notice of public hearing to consider the annual refuse rate adjustment to be effective July 1, 2017. DISCUSSION: Refuse from residential and commercial properties in the City is collected by Athens Services and taken to Athens’ Material Recovery Facility (MRF) where most recyclables are removed. The residual waste is then transported by Athens to a landfill designated by the City. Following the closure of Puente Hills Landfill on October 31, 2013, the City directed Athens to utilize the Mid-Valley Landfill in the City of Rialto. Refuse rates are comprised of four components: (1) processing/disposal fees; (2) service fees; (3) franchise fees; and (4) AB 939 fees. Residential rates include a fifth component: uncollectable accounts and customer service charges. Each year refuse rates can be adjusted to reflect changes in the cost of doing business, as measured by fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Bernardino Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area and to account for increases in disposal costs. APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 5/1/2017 2017 Refuse Rate Adjustment May 1, 2017 Page 2 Pursuant the City’s franchise agreement with Athens, disposal costs are passed through to the ratepayers automatically. The cost of disposal at the Mid-Valley Landfill where the City’s waste is disposed of is anticipated to increase from $29.75 to $30.32 per ton. As approved last year, an adjustment of 1.15% due to the new minimum wage law is applied to this adjustment period as well. In addition, starting with the FY 2015/16 rate adjustment period, an incremental transportation cost was added to per ton disposal costs to help Athens recover the increase in transportation costs to divert waste to Mid-Valley after the closure Puente Hills Landfill; this portion of the disposal cost is subject to CPI. Athens is not requesting any other rate adjustments due to extraordinary increases in operating cost. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI increased by 2.11% from January 2016 to January 2017. Based on the change in the CPI, refuse rates will increase 2.11% per month for all customer classes. The proposed FY 2017/18 rates (Attachment 1), which reflect the changes in the CPI and disposal cost increases, is summarized below in Table 1: TABLE 1 Proposed FY 2017/18 Rates July-June July-June 2016-2017 2017-2018 SERVICES Current Proposed Change Total Monthly Rate Total Monthly Rate % $ Residential Barrel Service $25.44 $25.98 2.11% $0.54 Multifamily Bin $21.88 $23.02 5.23% $1.14 Commercial Bins Size - 3 Cubic Yards 1 Day/Week $128.15 $131.65 2.73% $3.50 2 Days/Week $193.72 $198.71 2.57% $4.99 3 Days/Week $259.37 $265.82 2.49% $6.45 4 Days/Week $324.84 $332.75 2.44% $7.91 5 Days/Week $390.63 $400.00 2.40% $9.37 6 Days/Week $518.80 $531.67 2.48% $12.87 Size - 2 Cubic Yards 1 Day/Week $112.75 $115.98 2.86% $3.23 2 Days/Week $165.13 $169.63 2.72% $4.50 3 Days/Week $217.31 $223.05 2.64% $5.74 4 Days/Week $270.59 $277.61 2.60% $7.02 5 Days/Week $322.49 $330.77 2.57% $8.28 Size - 1.5 Cubic Yards 1 Day/Week $85.94 $88.41 2.87% $2.47 2 Days/Week $144.98 $149.04 2.80% $4.06 3 Days/Week $203.21 $208.84 2.77% $5.63 Size - 30 Cubic Yards* $403.87 $415.80 2.95% $11.93 *Rate includes 1 Ton of Waste Processed at Material Recovery Facility (MRF) On November 5, 1996, the people of the state of California voted in favor of Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” Proposition 218 added Articles 13C and 13D to the California Constitution implementing restrictions on methods by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer consent. Specifically, Proposition 218 requires the City to provide certain notification of new or increased assessments, charges and user fees, and in certain cases, requires a balloting and election of property owners prior to implementing any new or increased assessments, charges and user fees. The City Attorney has advised that based on the requirements of Proposition 218 all refuse rate adjustments must be approved at a public hearing with a notice to the public 45 days in advance of the hearing. A copy of the notice is attached (Attachment 2). 2017 Refuse Rate Adjustment May 1, 2017 Page 3 The proposed rate adjustments are slated to go into effect July 1, 2017. Staff conducted a survey of refuse rates currently in effect in other local cities. A copy of this survey is attached (Attachment 3). With the proposed rate increase the City’s refuse rates is still very competitive. In fact, even with the proposed rate increase, the Azusa Single Family Residential Rate is 4.36% below the average rate of the surveyed cities. The proposed Azusa Commercial Rate (3 CY/1X per Week) is among one of the lowest. Athens has reviewed and is in agreement with the rate calculations as proposed. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of printing and mailing the public notices is about $4,500 and such cost will be paid from the AB 939 Fund. Prepared by: Fiscal Impact Reviewed by: Louie F.
