For residential propcrtics that are servIced wIth individual contamers, the City collects the annual cost ofmll1lmum service with the property tax bill. This minimum servIce mcludes: weekly curbside collection ofa 35 gallon garbage contall1er; up to two (2) organIc waste carts, Il1cluding (bod scraps (96 gallons each); up to two (2) recycling carts (96 gallons each); recycling collcction of used oil and filters; an annual housebold hazardous waste drop off event; and three on-call bulky waste pIck- ups per year Residents desiring larger garbage carts are billed directly by thc Company for the Incremental rate di ITercncc. The City pays the servIce cost for minimum residentIal servIce with monies collcctcd from thc property tax bilL GARBAGE RATE CALCULATION Garbal!e Rate Backl!round The current garbage rales hecame cf/cctivc July I, 2005 The agreement with A VI, provides a process for addressmg the compensation gcnerated from all rate classes on an annual basis. The agreement cstablishes a total arumal revenue requlfement for the Company The CIty retams the responsibility to establish the rates for all categurics, with the provision that those rates must bc rcasonably forecasted to result in thc Contractor to provide the compensatIOn to A VI as provided for in the Agreement. Thc forecasting uses census numbers based on service levcls multiplied by the new rates. As rcquircd in thc Agreement the City has pnlVlded A VI with information showll1g the rate calculations and assumptIons. Sechon 5 13 1 states" thc final decision of the rate structurc rcsts solely with the City." Tbe pmposed rate structure for 2006/2007 is estimated to meet the compensation reqUIrement of $6,610,082. This compensation IS possible as a result ofa pruposcd 5 47"10 increase to all rate categories. A dctailed description of the methodology requircd by thc Agreement is altached as Attaehmcnt I On March 18, 2005 public noticcs wcre mailed to property owners. The intcnt of the NotIces were to disclose thc changes in rates as a result oftbe new agreement with A VI. This property owner noticing was done in accordance wlth Propositiun 218, rcquiring noticing reqUIrements for propcrty related fees. As part of the Noticc, it was disclosed that there wo,dd be future adjustmcnts to the rates In accordance with the fonnulas in the Agreement. Detailed Comparison of Current and Proposed Rates Attachment 2 compares the proposed rates to thc currcnt rates for servIce levels, which rcpresent a maJonly of the subscribers in thc City The proposed rates would be effectivc July 1,2006 Competitiveness of Dublin Rates with Neil!hborinl! Al!encies As shown in Attachmcnt 3, the proposed City ofDubhn rates remain vcry competitive compared to ratcs charged for similar servIces III surnlundmg communitics. In most cases, the City of Dublin scrvice levels are at least comparahle, and o/lcn bcttcr than the survey cities. For example, Pleasanton does not offer any bulky wastc pick-ups and Livemlore and San Ram(1l1 charge extra for many of the Iterns such as electronic waste, and appliances that A VI will pick up frce of charge for Duhlm residcnts. Therefore, the City of Dub 1m customers receivc morc services. For most rate categories, thc proposed City of Dublin rates are SImIlar and m many cases below thc averagc of the Tri-Valley agencies surveyed. For the purpose (,fthls survey the rates for the LivemlOre include a recently adopted ratc increase that will be c1Tcctivc July I" For the City of San Ramon the rates rellect thcir new service agreement and arc effectIve October 1st 2- OL ..3 Annual Fee For Minimum Residential Garbae:e Service Thc City Council will need to establish the annual fee, which is cullectcd with the property tax for residentIal propertIes, separately from the rates for other levels of servIce. The proposcd fcc for Fiscal Year 200n-2007 IS $154 08, which cquatcs to $12.84 per month. ThIS IS a $0 67 pcr month increase over thc rate leVIed m 2005/2006 This base rate inc1udcs $015 per month whIch IS collected for thc purpose of fundmg the cost assocIated with collcction on the property tax bIll. Those funds arc not paid to A VI. Tn additIOn the cost of eollcction and delinquencIes for haslc service, are cxpected to be covered from the following sources: prior year fund halance; penalties and prior year taxes collected by the County Tax Collector; and mterest on funds held prior to paymcnt to the Company Thc proposed annual assessment for 200612007 reprcscnts a 547% increase over the Fiscal Year 20U5- 200b assessment.

Thc initial ratcs were established to generate the annual rcvcnue bascd on the initial level of customers_ As new customers arc added the Company also recel yes revenuc for thosc services. In accordance wIth sechon 5 14 ofthc Agrcement the Company retall1S any compensation in cxccss of what is calculated. If actual compensation is less than calculated the Company is not entitled to any additional revenues. Annually there is a process established where a revised total compensation figure IS developed. This calculation takes into conslderabon changes in the number of accounts serviced as well as adj ustments to four c1cmcnts. The Agreement dIvides compensahon provided to A VI into the following four Elements.

Rates To Reflect Chanl!es In Collection Costs The Agreement with A VI contains a very detailed methodology as It relates to adjustmcnts to rates to reflect economIc changes. Two calculahons are made as part of a larger formula. The first is the Rcfuse Rate Adjustment (RR!) and the second an Annual Growth (AG) factor. Begll1nmg on Jllly I, 2006 thc agrccment provides for an annual adjustment to tbe Collection Compensation. The Agrccmcnt also dctails the time period to be used lllmakmg the adjustments. Steps Required to Calculate the RRI Factor The RRI factor cannot exceed 5'1.. and it is calculated based on the weighted percentage changc in specific indices mulbphed hy the costs associatcd with kcy company expenses. The following table provides a summary descriptIOn of ho\\; these factors are intcrrclated.

The "Beginning Calculated Revenue" equals the current ratcs multiplicd by the census of July I, 2005 This is comparcd to thc "Ending Calculated Revenue" The "Ending Calculatcd Revenue is equal to the current rates multiplicd by the December 2005 census. Tbe ad] l~stment rct1ccts increases in the number of hilled units servcd. The methodology is relatIvely straIght forward. Thc Agrccment with A VI mcluded an Exbiblt which lists various service events. For example, the number of singlc family basic servicc units; number of commercial bl11s by size and frequcncy of service; etc. These are then multiplied by the appropriate monthly rate. ResIdential service IS a bundled ratc for recycling and garbage. Eacb smgle family unit is calculated at the BasIC Rate regardless of whether thcy may have mulhple rccychng or green waste bins. Similarly the commercIal bll1 service is a bundlcd rate and only the billed garbage serVIce for which thcrc is a ratc cstablished is counted m thIs f()rmula.

Paul S. Rankin, Administrative Services Director For the 2006/2007 adjustment the Agrccmcnt provides for the calculatIon to be done bascd on the census included in thc original AgreenlCnt and the actual Collection census data as of December 31, 2005 The rates used for this comparison are the rates in efTcct on July I, 2005 The 2006/2007 calculation showed that the "Begmmng Calculated Revenuc" for one month would be $499,161 and the "Ending Calculated Revcnuc" based on the December 2005 census would bc $530,815 This rcsults in a 20ll6/2007 Annual Growth Factor of 6.34"10. [$53ll,815 - 499,161 = $31,654,31,654/530,815 = 0634] Application of RRl and 4 G to Collection Compensation Element The base agreement CollectIOn Compcnsation Element was established at $4,176,900. In accordance with the Agreement this amount is first adjusted by the Annual AG Factor [4,176,900 '" I 0634 = $4,441,715] and then that total is escalated by the RRI factor. [$4,441,715 .. 1 0.385 ~ $4,612,722] This amount then flows into the total projectcd total compensation shown m section 5 ofthis report. 2. Methodolol!v for Adiustinl! Rates To Reflect Chanl!'es In Landfill I Disposal Costs Landfill disposal costs are established under a separate agreement between thc City of Dublin and Waste Management Inc. A VI is requircd to use the disposal facihty deSIgnated by thc City A VI makcs the payments for disposal costs and pays the pricc negotiated by the City under the separatc agreemcnt with Waste Management. Sll1Ce these are expenscs incurred by A VI, theses costs must also be considered in setting the rates. The landfill component alsu has thc following two factors that Impact the rates: I) Tip Fec Factor, and 2) Annual Tonnage Factor Approved Tip Fee(ATF) Factor Tn 2006/2007 thc cost per ton for landfill fees will inGrease by 12 ccnts. The increase relates enl1rely to Increases in rcgulatory fces (9 cent mcrease m Measure D and 3 ccnt increase in Open Space Fees). There is ho changc to thc base component oftbe cost pmd to Wastc Management, the only increase is III regulatory fecs. Thc total disposal cost for 2006/2007 will be $27 78 per ton. Of this amount $15.02 is related to rcgulatory fees and $12.76 reflects the portion paid to Waste Management for landfill services. The portion paid to Waste Management remains at thc rate that was made effechve July 1, 2005 The regulatory fees arc levied by other agencIes such as Stop Waste; County Local Enforcement Authority; Cahfornia Tntegrated Waste Management Board; Housebold Hazardous Waste Fccs; County Business License; etc. ThIS results in an A TF Factor of 0.43%. [2005 Rate = $27 66/ton and 2006 Ratc = $27 n/ton. $2778 - 27.66 = 0.12, 0 12/27.66 = 0 0043] Annual Tonnage (AT) Factor The tonnage ll1Grease f\,r the 2006/07 adjustment is reqUIred under the agreement to bc tonnage shown in ExhibIt 1 of the Agreement (27,039 tons) compared to an armuahzed average based on disposal reports for thc period July 1, 2005 - December 31, 2005 This formula results m an average disposal for 2005 of 29,839 tons. This results in an AT Factor of 10.36%.

MethodoIol!Y Addressinl! Container Compensation Element This clement represents the amortized cost of carts and bms over the life ofthc agreement. The allowed amount is modified by the AG factur As notcd above thIs factor was caleulatcd at 6.34% for the 2006/07 adjustmcnt. In the illltial agreement the amount designated for the Container Element was $177,000 Adjusting this by the AG Factor results ill $188,222 as the anlOunt to be recovercd from rates m 2006107 4. MethodoIol!v Addressinl! Fee Compensation Element As part of the Agreement with thc City of Dublin A VI IS requircd to rcmit franchise taxes and certain fces to the City of Dublin based on a pcrccntagc of its revenue.

Rankin, Administrative Sl:Tviccs Diredor As sbown abovc thc 2006107 rate adjustment process results in the need to establish rates at a level expected to generate $6,670,467 in rcvenuc. This anlOunt is $625,681 more than the allowcd compensahon calculated when thc ratcs were established for July 1,2005 Prior to establishing the amount tbat will be gencratcd from rates, an adjustmenllS made for grant rcvenues that reduce the Company operating cost. The amount ofrevenue requITed from rates IS partially offset by two grants. A $350,000 grant was obtaincd at the beginning ofthe agreement to reduce thc cost of impIemcnting a natural gas truck fleet. The total grant is amortized over the 7 year life ofthe Agreement and tberelore $50,000 is credited against requIred revenue in 2006107 Thc City has also obtained a Recycled Oil grant of$IO,385 that is applied towards the revenue requirement. Therefore, a total of$60,3~5 ($50,000 + $10,385) ofthc required compensatIon IS offset by grants. Thc final step in developing the rates is to tesl the total annual expected revenue to the Company, when the ratcs are increased by different amounts. It IS necessary for thc adjustment to be at a level so that lhe total annual projccted compcnsation to the Company will equal $6,670,467 Thc caIeulation for 2006107 IS perfolmed usmg the census figures as of Dccember 2005 Based on the December 31, 2005 census of customers servIced hy A VI, Staff with assistance from R3 Consultmg have determined that a 5 47% across the board increase will generatc thc required revenue. It IS not possible to exactly match thc targeted annual revenue given tbe various subscription levels and fees. The goalls to come as close as possible to thc targct. The test caIeulatIon shows that when thc grant funds of $60,385 are added to the new rates (incrcasc of 5 47%) that the total prOjected compcnsation is $6,671,102.
