RECOMMENDATION: W 1. Open the Public Hearing. 2) Receive the Staff Report and public
/J .. rJ testimony. 3) Close the public hearing and deliberate. 4) Determine the
, 6,ILN' number of any additional written protests received for the record.
5) Adopt Resolution
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The amount of the proposed rate increase varies depending on the type of
service received. The increase is less than 2% for residential, and between 5-6% for commercial customers.
.he proposed rates will be effective through June 30, 1999.
~ESCRIPTION:
The current garbage rates,became effective July 1, 1997. In accordance with the Agreement with Livermore
Dublin Disposal, the adopted rates were scheduled to be reviewed for a rate adjustment July 1, 1998. The
amount of the allowed adjustment was calculated in accordance with a specific formula.
Aereement with Livermore Dublin Disposal
The City has a role in the establishment of Garbage and Recycling Service Fees. The agreement between the
City of Dublin and Livermore Dublin Disposal requires the City to adopt a rate schedule, which is estimated to
produce a specified revenue amount. The target revenue amount is determined in accordance with a specific
schedule and formula. The annual adjustment takes into account (a) Changes in the Consumer Price Index; (b)
Changes in Landfill Regulatory Fees; and (c) an Adjustment for the Number of Tons Placed in the Landfill.
After incorporating these adjustment factors, the Company reviews the calculation ofthe proposed rates to
determine whether the schedule is anticipated to meet the adjusted revenue requirement. The formula places a
5% cap on the growth oftotal revenue estimated to be received by the company.
Trends Evaluated To Develop Proposed Rates
The rate adjustment is based upon data gathered from the previous calendar year regarding the number of
customers and service level selected. In addressing the proposed adjustment for 1998, Staff evaluated probable
chaJ:ges in the number of subscribers in the upcoming year. For example, the Residential sector is anticipated
to have an increase in the number of units. Although certain costs such as disposal increase with more users,

In both the Commercial and Drop Box sectors, the City actually experienced a decrease in the total services
subscribed to by these customers. The following chart displays the differences in commercial services: .
Commercial Bin Service
Total Yards Of Service Purchased
1996 170,196
Drop Box
Total Yards Of Service Purchased
67,132
.
1997
169,208
58,992
% Change 1997
- 0.58 %
-12.13%
These trends affect the percentage of increase assigned to each of the sectors. Because the residential sector
will experience an increase in the numbet of accounts, the company's fixed costs can be spread over more
users, so rates will increase by a lower percentage. Conversely, the commercial and drop box sectors will
experience a higher rate increase, because the costs have to be spread over fewer users.
Total Estimated Revenues Required
Based upon the formula in the existing agreement, in Fiscal Year 1998/99 the increase is to be based upon a
3% increase in Disposal costs and a 2.4% increase in collection costs plus an allowance based upon total tons
collected. Using this formula the total 1998/99 Livermore Dublin Disposal Revenue would increase by more
than the 5% cap allowed in the agreement. The total company revenue would be $3,081,880, which is 5.05%
more than the current revenue.
Making an adjustment for the cap, the total annual revenue required under the Agreement for the period from
July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999 is approximately $ 3,080,536. Using the current subscriber census with the
current rates, the Company is projected to only generate $2,933,844 in revenues. This results in the need for
the proposed rate structure to generate an additional $148,036, which will make up the shortfall.
.
In addition to the Company revenues from rates, the City currently offsets a portion of the Residential
Recycling Program's cost with a separate payment of Measure D Funds. This includes both the Single Family
and the Multifamily recycling programs. The fiscal year 1997/98 contribution is $79,000. Staff proposes that in
Fiscal Year 1998/99, the City increase the Measure D contribution towards the cost of Recycling services to
$89,000. It is projected that the estimated Measure D Revenue for 1998/99 would be adequate to
accommodate this additional annual payment. This assumption has been included in developing the proposed
rates and reduces the targeted shortfall by $10,000.
Comvosition of Waste Stream bv Catee:orv of Business
The costs associated with the overall waste collection and disposal system must be considered in the context of
the types of services provided. These percentages were used to calculate the amount of expense allocated to
each sector. The following table shows the number of tons and percentage of the waste stream for the prior
two calendar years.

,~Detailed Comparison of Current and Proposed Rates
The actual percentage of increase in the proposed rate depends on the type of service. Residential Rates are
proposed to increase by less than 2%. Commercial Rates are proposed to increase by approximately 5% and
A'>rop Box Rates would increase by 5.6% The chart shown below compares the proposed rates to the current
~ates for service levels which represent a majority of the subscribers in the City. The proposed rates would be
in place beginning July 1, 1998 and continuing through June 30, 1999.

This represents a new fee, allowing customers the option for additional cans
The proposed rate structure includes the addition of a new rate for a residential customer to subscribe to an
additional Green Waste container. The proposed rate is $4.00 per month. On occasion there have been
customers with large lots who have expressed an interest in having this available.
Competitiveness of Dublin Rates with Nei!!hhorin2" A!!encies
As shown in Exhibit 1, the proposed City of Dublin rates remain very competitive compared to rates charged
for similar services in surrounding communities. In all cases, the City of Dublin service levels are at least
comparable, and in some cases better than the survey cities. For example, both Livermore and Pleasanton offer
Residential Green Waste collection only every other week. Therefore, the City of Dublin residential
.subSCribers receive more services, For all rate categories, the proposed City of Dublin rates are less than the
verage ofthe Tri-Valley agencies surveyed. It should be noted that the City of Livermore is expected to
consider a rate increase in the coming months.
s-
Reauirements Under Proposition 218
. Under the requirements of Proposition 218, the adoption or increase in property-related fees which are ,refuse
service fees, requires ~ 45-day notice to the parcel owners. The notice was mailed to all parcel owners on May
8, 1998.
Proposition 218 has very specific criteria which must be considered prior to the adoption of this fee. .
Specifically, Section 6(2) Property-Related Fees and Charges - states the following:
The agency shall conduct a public hearing upon the proposed fee or charge not less than 45 days after
mailing the notice of the proposed fee or charge to the record property owners of each identified parcel
upon which the fee or charge is proposed for imposition. At the public hearing, the agency shall
consider all protests against the proposed fee or charge. If the written protests against the fee or charge
are presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels, the agency shall not impose the fee or
charge.
At the time the Staff Report was prepared, the City had receive a total of six protests from four different
property owners, as contained in Exhibit 2. Once person submitted three letters, one for each property he
owns. This owner requests that garbage fees be billed directly to tenants rather than being billed with property
taxes. The other three letters protest the fee increase in general. This number of letters is insufficient to
override the adoption of the revised fee.
Recommendation
Attached to the Staff Report is a Resolution (Exhibit 3), which will establish the Adjusted Livermore Dublin
Disposal Rate Schedule in accordance with the Franchise Agreement, under which the City operates in the City
of Dublin.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a Public Hearing and update the calculation of any additional ..
written protests received. Following the Public Hearing, Staff recommends that the City Council deliberate an~
adopt the Resolution.

newspapers; cutting cardboard into specified size, bundling,
and tying with a string. No one has given us a raise to do
this work. Homeowner fees, water, telephone, and utilty fees
have gone up. Garbage should not.

Dear City Clerk,
1bis letter is to protest the above fees and increases. I do not want any
fees attached to my property. The garbage company should bill each
property user individually for services used. When fees are attached to
property tax bills it creates charges to property owners who may not be the
ones using the service, (ie renters utilities). Your policy creates an
uncollectible charge for landlords and reduces their income, which in the
end results in lesser property values. It can then lead to abuses by
landlords using the justification of increased property taxes for excessive
rent increases. All we have done by attaching services to property taxes is
make billing easier for the garbage collectors. 1bis increase in efficiency, is
not offset by the problems created by not correctly charging the end user.
We need people to be responsible for the services they use.

Re: Fee; Garbage Company Rates & Residential
Minimum Garbage/Recycling Services
Property Address: 7335 Bedford Way
Parcel: #941-76-39
Dear City Clerk,
This letter is to protest the above fees and increases. I do not want any
fees attached to my property. The garbage company should bill each
property user individually for services used. When fees are attached to
property tax bills it creates charges to property owners who may not be the
ones using the service, (ie renters utilities). Your policy creates an
uncollectible charge for landlords and reduces their income, which in the
end results in lesser property values. It can then lead to abuses by
landlords using the justification of increased property taxes for excessive
rent increases. All we have done by attaching services to property taxes is
make billing easier for the garbage collectors. This increase in efficiency f is
not offset by the problems created by not correctly charging the end user.
We need people to be responsible for the services they use.
