D-2
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MANNY ROBLEDO, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 20, 2020
SUBJECT: REFUSE AND ORGANICS RATE ADJUSTMENT PUBLIC HEARING
BACKGROUND:
The City has an Exclusive Franchise Agreement with Arakelian Enterprises Inc. DBA 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 pass through 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., landfill cost, insurance). On July 16,
2018, the City Council approved organics rate structure for commercial customers to recycle food waste
in compliance with AB 1826 (Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling), and this organics rate
structure will also be adjusted pursuant to the proposed action. Additionally, pursuant to Proposition 218
fee approval rules, all refuse and organics rate adjustments must be approved at a public hearing with a
notice to the public 45 days in advance of the hearing. The recommended actions consist of opening the
Public Hearing, receiving public testimony, closing the Public Hearing, and adopting Resolution No.
2020-C40 approving the annual refuse and organics rate effective July 1, 2020 and approving an
automatic adjustment without further public hearing subject to a maximum of 5% annually beginning
July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2024. If approved, the refuse rates for residential customers would increase $0.71
per month (2.57%) for residential customers, which would still be 5% lower than the average of Azusa’s
neighboring cities; and commercial rates would increase $0.53 per month (0.38%) for small commercial
customers. The Public Hearing Notice was mailed on May 27, 2020 and advertised in the local
newspaper on July 13, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1) Open the Public Hearing, receive public testimony, and close the Public Hearing;
2)Adopt Resolution No. 2020-C40 approving the annual refuse collection and organic waste
recycling rate adjustment for Arakelian Enterprises Inc. DBA Athens Services effective
retroactive to July 1, 2020; and
APPROVED

3) Approve future automatic adjustment subject to a maximum of 5% annually beginning July 1,
2020, and each July 1 thereafter, for a five-year period through and including adjustments
effective July 1, 2024.
ANALYSIS:
Refuse from residential and commercial properties in the City is collected by Athens Services and taken
to Athens’ Material Recovery Facility (MRF) where most recyclable materials are separated and
recycled. The residual non-recyclable waste is then transported by Athens to Mid-Valley Landfill in the
City of Rialto. The green organic materials are delivered directly to Recycled Wood Products in the City
of Pomona for composting and mulching.
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: customer service
charges (since the City bills residential customers directly). Each year refuse rates are 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/Riverside/Orange County and to account for increases in disposal costs. The CPI from January
2019 to January 2020 is 3.08%.
Pursuant to 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 $32.49 to $33.46 per ton. There was also a significant increase
in green waste processing and diversion services fee beginning November 2019 from $47.00 to $48.41
per ton due to the implementation of AB 1594 (Green Waste Diversion Bill). Per AB 1594, green
materials used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) will no longer be considered as diversion as of January
1, 2020. Jurisdictions must have plans/programs to divert green materials from landfill or risk not being
able to meet its AB 939 diversion goal.
Due to new business developments requiring more refuse capacity and service level, 4 and 6 cubic yard
commercial bin services have been added to the rate schedule. These rates will be approved upon request
by the business requiring additional capacity. Three businesses are currently subscribed to this service.
Athens Services also offers additional optional services to its customers upon request. These rates were
added to the regular rates in Table 1 to ensure transparency to customers utilizing these services.
The proposed FY 2020/2021 rates are summarized below in Table 1.

In October 2014, Governor Brown signed AB 1826 (Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling),
requiring all commercial customers (businesses and multi-family dwellings with 5 units or more) to
recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount they generate each week.
Organic waste includes food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood
waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste. Effective January 1, 2019, all
commercial customers that generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week shall
arrange for organic waste recycling services. In addition, effective January 1, 2020, all commercial
customers that generate 2 or more cubic yards of solid waste per week will be required to arrange for
organic waste recycling services if CalRecycle determines that statewide disposal of organic waste in 2020
has not been reduced by 50% of 2014 levels.
In order to comply with AB 1826, the City Council authorized Athens Services to charge a monthly rate
in implementing a commercial organic recycling program for businesses that are required to implement
an organic recycling program and are adjusted by CPI percentage change.
The proposed FY 2020/2021 rates are summarized below in Table 2.

2020 Public Hearing Refuse and Organics Rate Adjustment
July 20, 2020
Page 5
Because the City anticipates future rate adjustment in the cost of providing trash services that Athens
Services will charge pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, the City is also proposing to annually pass-
through to trash service customers automatic adjustments calculated based upon the rate adjustment
methodology per Franchise Agreement. If approved, beginning July 1, 2020, and each July 1 thereafter
for a five-year period, through and including adjustments effective on or after July 1, 2024, the trash rates
may be adjusted annually, without a further public hearing subject to a maximum of 5% annually. Trash
service customers will be notified 30 days before the effective date of an automatic rate adjustment.
When refuse and organic recycling rate adjustment exceed 5% in any single year, another public hearing
will be held to consider that proposed rate adjustment. In no event may an automatic adjustment exceed
the City’s cost of providing trash services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the proposed rate adjustment will vary by customer class: single family residential
rates will increase 2.57% or $0.71 per month; multi-family bin rates will increase 0.73% or $0.17 per
month; and commercial rates will decrease/increase -0.12% to 3.15% depending on the service level.

REFUSE AND ORGANICS RATE ADJUSTMENT
JULY 20, 2020
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Article XIIID of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City of Azusa will hold a PUBLIC HEARING to
consider adjustments in rates for trash collection and recycling services effective for bills rendered on or after July 1, 2020. This notice is being mailed
to the owner of record of each identified parcel subject to trash rates. Said PUBLIC HEARING will be held at the regular meeting of the City Council of
the City of Azusa on MONDAY, JULY 20, 2020, at 7:30 P.M., or as soon as possible thereafter, in the Civic Auditorium, 213 E. Foothill Blvd., Azusa. The City Council will be considering adoption
of a trash collection and recycling rate schedule effective retroactive to July 1, 2020, as set forth in Table 1 for typical residential and commercial services. Read below for more information about
this adjustment.
The bases and reasons for the proposed trash rate changes are set forth in a report available at the City Clerk’s
office at 213 E. Foothill Boulevard in Azusa which may be reviewed by any interested person. The request for
the proposed rate adjustment is based upon the City’s existing trash franchise agreement with Athens Services,
the City’s franchised trash hauler. Proceeds from this rate adjustment will be used to pay Athens Services for
trash collection, recycling and disposal services. Recycling services include processing all waste collected in
Azusa through a material recovery facility where all glass, plastic, metal and paper products are removed and
recycled. Other portions of the trash rate include City fees, such as 10% franchise fee, AB 939 or Recycling fee
and billing/administration fee. These fees are used by the City to administer the trash hauling contract, comply
with the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, and cover customer service and billing costs.
Mandatory Organic Waste Recycling Program for Commercial Customers
In October 2014, Governor Brown signed AB 1826, requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and
after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount they generate each week. Organic waste includes food waste,
green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is
mixed in with food waste. Effective January 1, 2019, all commercial customers (businesses and multi-family
dwellings with 5 units or more) that generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week shall
arrange for organic waste recycling services.
In order to implement the Organics Recycling Program in the City, Athens Services, the City’s franchised trash
hauler, is offering organic recycling services to businesses that are required to implement an organic recycling
program under AB 1826, and may charge businesses that utilize such services for the cost of those services.
The City Council will be considering adoption of Athens Services proposed monthly organic waste recycling
program rate schedule effective retroactive to July 1, 2020, as set forth below for commercial customers in Table 2.
At the time of the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all protests and objections concerning
the proposed trash and organic waste recycling rate schedule, including all written protests submitted against
the proposed rate adjustments. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council will consider, and may adopt,
the proposed trash and organic waste recycling rates, if written protests against the proposed rates and fee
schedule are not presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels upon which the rates and fee
schedule are proposed to be imposed. If adopted, the rates shall become retroactive to July 1, 2020. As noted
in more detail below, the rates may also be automatically adjusted annually beginning July 1, 2021 and each
July 1 thereafter, for a five-year period through and including adjustments effective July 1, 2024.
Because the City anticipates future rate adjustments in the cost of providing trash services that Athens Services
will charge pursuant to the franchise agreement, the City is also proposing to annually pass through to trash
service customers automatic adjustments based upon two factors: (i) for inflation, based upon the annual
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers, for Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange
County, as determined by the United States Department of Labor Statistics, or its successor (“CPI”) and (ii)
increases in solid waste disposal/recycling rates to comply with statutory solid waste diversion mandates
(“Tipping Fees”). These adjustments will impact the trash rates. If approved, beginning July 1, 2021, and each
July 1 thereafter for a five-year period, through and including adjustments effective on or after July 1, 2024,
the trash rates may be adjusted annually, without a further public hearing, by an amount not to exceed the
total of a CPI increase for inflation plus any increase in Tipping Fees, subject to a maximum of 5% annually. If
a rate adjustment should exceed this amount in any single year, another public hearing will be held to consider
that proposed rate adjustment. In no event may an automatic adjustment exceed the City’s cost of providing
trash services.
Any record owner of a parcel upon which the trash rates are proposed may submit a written protest to the
proposed rate adjustments. To oppose the proposed rate adjustments, you must submit a written protest,
even if you plan to attend the public hearing. Your written protest to the proposed trash and organic waste
recycling rates must be received (not postmarked) by the City Clerk, City of Azusa, 213 East Foothill Boulevard,
Azusa, CA 91702, prior to the close of the public hearing on July 20, 2020. Written protests may also be
submitted at the public hearing so long as they are received prior to the conclusion of the public hearing. Oral,
telephonic and e-mail protests will not be accepted. You must sign the protest and include: 1) your name, 2)
your street address, and 3) your trash service account number. Please identify on the front of the envelope that
the enclosed letter is for the “2020 Trash Rate Adjustment Public Hearing”. Only one written protest will be
counted per identified parcel.
Details regarding the proposed refuse and organic waste recycling rates are available at the Office of the City
Clerk, 213 E. Foothill Boulevard, Azusa City Library, 729 N. Dalton, and Azusa Light & Water, 729 N. Azusa
Avenue, or on the City of Azusa’s website at www.AzusaCA.gov. Thank you.

and disposal services. Recycling services include processing all waste collected in Azusa through a material recovery facility where all glass, plastics, metal
and paper products are removed and recycled. Other portions of the trash rate include City fees, such as 10% franchise fee,AB 939 or Recycling fee and
billing/administration fee.These fees are used by the City to administer the trash hauling contract, comply with the California Integrated Waste Management
Act of 1989, and cover customer service and billing costs.
Mandatory Organic Waste Recycling Program for Commercial Customers
In October 2014, Governor Brown signed AB 1826, requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount
they generate each week. Organic waste includes food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper
waste that is mixed in with food waste. Effective January 1, 2019, all commercial customers (businesses and multi-family dwellings with 5 units or more)that
generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.
In order to implement the Organics Recycling Program in the City, Athens Services, the City’s franchised trash hauler, is offering organic recycling services to
businesses that are required to implement an organic recycling program under AB 1826, and may charge businesses that utilize such services for the cost of
those services.
The City Council will be considering adoption of Athens Services proposed monthly organic waste recycling program rate schedule effective July 1, 2020, as
set forth below for commercial customers in Table 2:

At the time of the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all protests and objections concerning the proposed trash and organic waste
recycling rate schedule, including all written protests submitted against the proposed rate adjustments. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council will
consider, and may adopt, the proposed trash and organic waste recycling rates, if written protests against the proposed rates and fee schedule are not
presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels upon which the rates and fee schedule are proposed to be imposed. If adopted, the rates shall
become effective July 1, 2020. As noted in more detail below, the rates may also be automatically adjusted annually beginning July 1, 2021 and each July 1
thereafter, for a five-year period through and including adjustments effective July 1, 2024.
Because the City anticipates future rate adjustments in the cost of providing trash services that Athens Services will charge pursuant to the franchise
agreement, the City is also proposing to annually pass through to trash service customers automatic adjustments based upon two factors: (i)for inflation,
based upon the annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers,for Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County, as determined by
the United States Department of Labor Statistics, or its successor ("CPI") and (ii) increases in solid waste disposal/recycling rates to comply with statutory
solid waste diversion mandates (“Tipping Fees”). These adjustments will impact the trash rates.If approved, beginning July 1, 2021, and each July 1
thereafter for a five-year period, through and including adjustments effective on or after July 1, 2024, the trash rates may be adjusted annually, without a
further public hearing,by an amount not to exceed the total of a CPI increase for inflation plus any increase in Tipping Fees, subject to a maximum of 5%
annually.If a rate adjustment should exceed this amount in any single year, another public hearing will be held to consider that proposed rate adjustment.In
no event may an automatic adjustment exceed the City’s cost of providing trash services.
Any record owner of a parcel upon which the trash rates are proposed may submit a written protest to the proposed rate adjustments. To oppose the
proposed rate adjustments,you must submit a written protest, even if you plan to attend the public hearing.Your written protest to the proposed trash and
organic waste recycling rates must be received (not postmarked) by the City Clerk, City of Azusa, 213 East Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, CA 91702, prior to the
close of the public hearing on June 15, 2020. Written protests may also be submitted at the public hearing so long as they are received prior to the
conclusion of the public hearing.Oral, telephonic and e-mail protests will not be accepted. You must sign the protest and include: 1) your name, 2) your
street address,and 3) your trash service account number. Please identify on the front of the envelope that the enclosed letter is for the “2020 Trash Rate
Adjustment Public Hearing”. Only one written protest will be counted per identified parcel.
Details regarding the proposed refuse and organic waste recycling rates are available at the Office of the City Clerk, 213 E. Foothill Boulevard, Azusa City
Library, 729 N. Dalton, and Azusa Light & Water, 729 N. Azusa Avenue, or on the City of Azusa’s website at www.ci.azusa.ca.us.Thank you.
