Period May 1995 - December 1995
~ (prepared by: Paul S. Rankin, Assistant City Manager)
: / Resolution Approving the Second Amendment To The Agreement
dated 22 February 1993 for Multi-Family Recycling Services
EXHIBITS ATTACHED
RECOMMENDATION ~:/l) Open the Publie Hearing. (2) Receive the StalTReport and Public
Testimony. (3) Deliberate. (4) Adopt The Resolution.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The amount of the increase totals is three cents per month per multi-
family unit. It is proposed that the City pay the entire. increase with
Measure D. Funds in lieu of increasing the rate paid by the property
owners. Total cost will be S576 for the period May through
December.
DESCRIPTION In 1993, the City entered into an agreement with Livermore Dublin
Disposal to provide recycling services at Multi-Family Residential complexes. The range of services and
commodities collected was similar to the items collected in the residential curbside program.
Section VI of the current agreement addresses annual adjustments to the rate charged. The applicable
section reads:
LDD may make annual adjustments to the fees charged for the Multi-Family Program, no sooner
than one year after LDD begins providing recycling services using the full percentage difference in
the" San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumer, All Items,"
as the percentage basis for the adjustments. The February index will be used for May 1
adjustment...
The current allowed rate is S1.28 per unit per month. Staff has reviewed the applicable change in the
CPI which was reported at 2.1 %. Therefore, the Company is presently entitled to an increase of SO.03
per unit per month. The City has subsidized the current rate by SO.52 per unit per month since May
1994. The subsidy is funded with Measure D funds, which must be used toward recycling related
activities. This results in the property owner paying a monthly fee of SO.76 per unit per month. The City
has also subsidized the rate paid by Single Family Property Owners, in order to reduce the amount which
is collected as an assessment. Effective January 1, 1995, the Single Family Rate increased from S1.37 per
month to S1.40 per month and the increase was paid from Measure D Funds. Beginning January 1, 1996
the Multi-Family program will be incorporated as part of a comprehensive agreement and the rate
charged will be reduced further.
It is proposed that the City fund the full amount of the May 1995 increase using Measure D funds. This
will avoid any direct increase in costs to the affected households. Due to proposed changes in the City
Solid Waste Collection and Recycling Agreements, which are scheduled to take effect January 1, 1996,
the current rate will only need to be in effect through December 31, 1995. Following that date the
proposed new franchise agreement provides a further reduction in the charges for the Multi-Family
Recycling program.
Staff has prepared an Amendment to the Agreement, which will modify the City contribution through
December 31, 1995. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the
amendment to the current Agreement.
