FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Utilities Director
Prepared By: Ron Munds, Conservation Manager
SUBJECT: SAN LUIS.GARBAGE COMPANY INTERIM YEAR SOLID WASTE
RATE ADJUSTMENT APPLICATION.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution increasing solid waste rates by 4.08% for interim year 2009 to become
effective on January 1, 2009.
DISCUSSION
Background
On October 10, 2008 San Luis Garbage Company (SLG) submitted its interim year solid waste
rate adjustment applications (Attachment 2) for the year 2009 along with the other required
submittals. The 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, which for the current cycle was 2007. 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. Interim year applications are intended to adjust for
the prior year's consumer price index changes, and changes to the landfill tipping fees.
As part of this year's interim rate application, SLG and staff were able to negotiate a service
enhancement for the City's commercial customers. Starting January 1, 2009 they will receive up
to two day a week commingled recycling collection at no additional charge. Previously,
commercial customers received only one day a week collection at no additional charge. This
service improvement will assist the City in reaching its waste diversion goals.
Two.Key Factors in 2009 Application
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
The figure used to factor inflation into increases in solid waste rates is the Consumer Price Index
for Urban Consumers based on the U.S. city average. The previous twelve month CPI is used to
determine the weighted average change in controllable costs in the rate adjustment application
being considered. The CPI change from October 2007 to October 2008 is 5.4%.
Council Agenda Report—Solid Waste Rate Adjustment
Page 2
Tipping fees
The change between the 2008 and the estimated 2009 tipping fees results in a decrease of
approximately $48,000.00. The decrease is attributed to a reduction in commercial garbage
going to the landfill. Since tipping fees are an estimated pass through cost established in the base
year rate application, then adjusted based on more current information in the interim years, the
estimated tipping fee decrease in the 2009 interim year rate application accounts for the
difference between the CPI change of 5.4% and the requested rate increase of 4.08%.
Survev 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 4 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 in different
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 are reasonable. The services reflected in the
rates include weekly automated solid waste collection (at a prescribed level), curbside recycling
service (64 gallon container) and curbside green waste recycling (96 gallon container). Rates are
set according to the level of solid waste service requested by the customer.

(64 gallon waste wheeler)
Premium $34.75/month $36.15/month
(96 gallon waste wheeler)
Commercial Solid Waste Services
As identified in Exhibit A to Attachment 1.
Conclusion
In summary, the adoption of the 2009 solid waste rates as recommended will ensure SLG the
necessary operating revenues, including profit, within the prescribed levels set by the City's solid
waste rate setting policies. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt
the rate increase requested by SLG.
