HomeMy WebLinkAbout6.2 Establish Commercial Garbage Rate CITY OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 10, 1992
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Establishment of Commercial Garbage
Can Collection and Disposal Rate
(Prepared by: Paul S. Rankin, Assistant City Manager)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Proposed Resolution
RECOMMENDATION: Open public hearing; Receive Staff Report and public
input; Close public hearing and deliberate; and Adopt
Resolution Amending Resolution No. 3-92 to provide for
a Commercial Can Rate.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The recommended rate is equal to what the Company
charged this class of customers in 1991 .
DESCRIPTION: On January 13, 1992, the City Council adopted a
comprehensive rate schedule for garbage collect and disposal service in the
City. Subsequent to that action, the Company advised the City that rate
information for commercial cans had not been included in the information
originally transmitted to the City by the Company.
Prior to 1992, the City had not adopted a comprehensive rate schedule and
the Company would establish rates not explicitly shown, in relationship to
the rates set by the City Council. In 1992 Staff requested that the
Company identify all rates, which were to be included in the rate schedule
adopted by the City. Through an oversight, a minor class of service was
omitted from the information transmitted to the City.
The Company has 26 cans in service at commercial establishments.
Typically, these are smaller firms such as banks and other service
providers. In some cases it may be that individual cans are used instead
of a commercial container due to space limitations. A comparison of rates
currently charged by the Company as compared to the new residential rates
are as follows:
1992
Current Monthly Residential
Commercial Can Rate
32 gallon $ 7. 10 $ 7.90
40 gallon 8.90 9.50
45 gallon 10.00 10.45
48 gallon 10.15 11 .05
The Residential Rate shown is the first can amount including special
Residential Services.
The Company indicates that these establishments are serviced by the
residential trucks. In some cases this may not be conveniently located
adjacent to residential areas. The City's Rate Consultant has also advised
that it is appropriate to assure that a business cannot subscribe for
multiple cans at a rate less than the more efficient commercial service.
The Company estimates that approximately 6 and 2/3 32 gallon cans are
equivalent to a one yard commercial bin. The current rate for a one yard
container emptied once per week is $27.70 per month. Therefore, if the
City maintains the current rates a customer would need to have four cans

before the commercial bin service was cost effective. A reduction in the
rate would increase the number of individual cans a business could have,
before reaching a cost benefit to switch to a commercial bin. The
following breaks down the composition of those currently using this class
of service:
# of Commercial Can Customers
1 can 2 can 3 can 4 can
14 9 1 2
Staff would recommend that the rates be maintained at the current rate for
1992. This is a customized service utilized by relatively few businesses.
It is also consistent with establishing rates to encourage the most
efficient type of service.
Staff has prepared a resolution which amends Resolution No. 3-92. The
amended section is highlighted as Section (V) (B) Commercial Can Rates. In
addition, the proposed resolution corrects a minor typographical error
which appeared on information originally submitted by the Company. In
Section VII (H) (1 ) , the original resolution stated that the flasher charge
was applied to each pull. The wording should have read each "placement. "
Staff would recommend that following the public hearing that the City
Council adopt the resolution.
