CITY OF SAN LUIS O B I S P O
FROM: John Mos , tilities Director
Prepared By: Ron Munds, Utilities Conservation Coordinator
SUBJECT: SAN LUIS GARBAGE COMPANY INTERIM YEAR SOLID WASTE
RATE ADJUSTMENT APPLICATION.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution increasing solid waste rates by 3.42% for interim year 2005 to become
effective on February 1, 2005.
DISCUSSION
Background
On October 12, 2004 San Luis Garbage Company (SLG) submitted to the City interim year solid
waste rate adjustment applications (Attachment 2) for the year 2005 along with the required
audited financial statements. The City's Rate Setting Manual For Setting Integrated Solid Waste
Rates, adopted by the Council in 1994; provides a process and schedule for rate application
review and binds the contractor and the City to a method of determining revenue adequacy.
Under this methodology, base year applications are prepared every third year. Base year
applications require a detailed submittal and review of past, current and future operating
expenses. Less detailed interim year applications, such as the one presented in this report, are
required in year two and three of the cycle, and are intended to adjust only for the prior year's
cost-of-living increase, and any changes to the estimated landfill tipping costs.
It is important to note that this is the first rate increase request from SLG in two years. The 2004
base year application was submitted but no rate increase was requested at that time because of
cost savings measures associated with the transfer of ownership of SLG to Waste Connections,
Inc.. The savings included reduced costs in insurance, office salaries, fuel and general
maintenance items such as tires.
Key Assumptions in 2005 Application
Tipping fees
The change between the 2004 tipping fees and the estimated 2005 tipping fees (which is a pass
through cost) is about $51,000.00. The increase can be attributed to an increase in green waste
tons and refuse generated by the commercial sector.
Consumer Price Index(CPI)
The figure used to factor inflation into increases in solid waste rates is the Consumer Price Index
for Urban Consumers. The previous twelve month CPI is used to determine the weighted
i
Council Agenda Report—Solid Waste Rate Adjustment
Page 2
average change in controllable costs in the rate adjustment application being considered. The
CPI from September 2003 to September 2004 of 2.7% is used for the 2005 application.
AB 939 Fee
A 3% increase in the AB 939 fee is included to reflect the inflationary and solid waste program
cost increases experienced by the City. This is a pass through cost to SLG.
Franchise Fee
A 10% franchise fee is included and is a pass through cost to SLG.
Staff has determined that the adoption of the 2005 rates as recommended will ensure SLG the
necessary operating revenues, including profit, within the prescribed levels set by the solid waste
rate setting policies.
Survey of Solid Waste Services and Rates—Other Cities
As part of the rate setting process, SLG is required to conduct and report the results of a survey
of residential and non-residential solid waste rates in communities similar in size and location to
the City of San Luis Obispo. The purpose of the survey is to benchmark rates proposed by SLG
against other cities to determine if the rates are reasonable. Attachment 3 shows the results of the
survey and the survey forms submitted by SLG.
It is important to note that there are many variables that make up the solid waste rates indifferent
communities. The variables include franchise fees, AB 939 fees, tipping fees and levels of
service (i.e. curbside recycling, green waste collection, etc.). Because of the variability of
factors, it is difficult to compare rates from other jurisdictions on an "apples to apples" basis.
Taking this information into account, the survey indicates that the current rates charged by SLG
are in the mid-range of cost when compared to other local jurisdictions. When compared to
comparable agencies located in other areas of the state,SLG's rates are significantly less. Based
on the overall comparison, the rates charged by SLG seem to be reasonable. In the City the
services reflected in the rates include weekly-automated refuse collection (at a prescribed level),
curbside recycling service (64 gallon container provided) and curbside green waste recycling (96
gallon container provided). Rates are set according to the level of refuse service requested by the
customer.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed single family residential rates are as follows:
