Exhibit A
City of Dublin
RESIDENTIAL MINIMUM GARBAGE / RECYCLING SERVICES
(Collected With Residential Property Tax Bills)
Basis of Fees
The City has negotiated a multi -year agreement with Amador Valley Industries (AVI) requiring
a rate adjustment to the residential minimum garbage/recycling services collected with the
property tax bills. The current annual fee of $510.36 per year will increase $4.68 for a total of
$515.04 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The annual assessment equates to a monthly increase
of $0.39, from $42.53 to $42.92. The Amended and Restated Agreement with AVI sets the
compensation for the Agreement Year that begins July 1, 2021 and provides for annual
adjustments to the rates based upon annual changes in three separate indices, two of which
are maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Refuse Rate Index), plus pass -through
disposal costs, for waste, recyclables and organics. The three indices account for cost
changes in the following categories: growth in services; labor; and all other costs. In addition,
the Agreement allows for a third -party administrator to review costs and revenue every three
years to confirm reasonableness and to ensure that an industry standard level of operating
margin in being maintained by AVI.
In order to determine the fee, the City estimates the total revenue required to pay AVI for the
Minimum Service to all residential units that are eligible to use the service, according to the
terms of the agreement. The specific factors considered in this calculation include the
following components: the residential rate for Minimum Service; estimated number of housing
units affected by the fee; costs associated with the collection of the fee as part of the Property
Tax Bill; estimated delinquencies; estimated revenues from late payments and interest
earnings; and funds available from collections in a prior year.
Affected Parcels
Chapter 5.32 of the Dublin Municipal Code requires the protection of the health, safety, and
welfare of the community by requiring that all parcels obtain minimum weekly garbage service.
Residential housing units are billed for the cost of Minimum Garbage Service, which is
included with the annual property tax bill. This fee only applies to residential units which have
individual garbage containers and are not serviced by central bins. This does include duplexes
and other attached housing types, which receive individual service.
Households subject to this fee, which only receive Minimum Service, will not be billed by the
Garbage Company. Amador Valley industries will bill customers each quarter for additional
services, if a household selects weekly garbage collection of a container larger than the 32-
gallon container included in the Minimum Service Level.
Services Provided By the Fee
Minimum service includes weekly curbside collection of: one 32 gallon garbage container; up
to two 96 gallon organic waste carts; up to two 96 gallon recycling carts; used oil and filters;
an annual household hazardous waste drop off event; and three on -call bulky waste pick-ups
per year.
