Prepared By: Sue Baasch, Administrative Analyst
Ron Munds, Utilities Conservation Coordinator
SUBJECT: 1998 BASE YEAR SOLID WASTE RATE REVIEW
CAO RECOMMENDATION
By motion, adopt a resolution
1. incorporating the rate structure for new and revised residential and commercial solid waste
services approved by Council on June 2, 1998;
2. incorporating the rate structure for commercial recycling services approved by Council on
June 2, 1998;
3. increasing solid waste rates by 4.7%; and
4. setting an effective date of December 1, 1998 for revised services and rates.
DISCUSSION
Adoption of the 1998 solid waste rates as recommended complies with the City's solid waste rate
setting policies. Moreover, it is the final step in a year long examination of how to appropriately
modify the solid waste services and related rate structures to encourage progress in meeting the
City's AB 939 goals, while maintaining revenue adequacy. The recommended rate increase of
4.7%, along with the following previously approved rate structure changes, ensure that San Luis
Garbage can implement required service enhancements and, in return, receive operating
revenues, including profit, within the prescribed levels set by the solid waste rate setting policies.
Solid waste rates have not been adjusted since January 1997.
Previously Approved Rate Structure Changes
Residential Solid Waste Services
Modifying residential solid waste structure for consistency with volume-based,unit pricing.
Commercial Solid Waste Services
Modifying commercial solid waste rate structure to ensure consistency based on volume and frequency of
collection.
Commercial Recycling Services
Setting a base charge of$3.00 per commercial account for commercial recycling services.
Commercial Cardboard, Office Paper and Polystyrene Collection
Establishing a charge for recycling collection of cardboard(above one yard per week),office paper and
polystyrene.
These rate structure changes were considered and approved through a series of three Council
meetings this past year:

• January 2, 1998 Study Session
Council reviewed residential and commercial solid waste and recycling services, and directed
staff to expand residential services by including a 32 gallon wastewheeler option and to
analyze commercial recycling costs and charges, in particular the cost to provide cardboard
collection.
• April 14, 1998 Council Meeting
Council conceptually approved residential and commercial solid waste and recycling rate
structure changes, and directed staff to solicit public comment on these changes.
• June 2, 1998 Council Meeting
Council approved (1) changes to the residential solid waste service rate structure
incorporating the expanded service levels and in accordance with unit pricing, (2) changes to
the commercial refuse rate structure to establish a rate structure based on volume and
frequency of collection; and(3) establishing a volume-based commercial recycling fee at
25%of the charge for a comparable volume of commercial refuse, a base fee for commercial
recycling services and a per bag charge for office paper and polystyrene collection.
Review Process
An ad hoc committee to review San Luis Garbage Company's 1998 rate application was formed
nearly a year ago. The members of this committee included Bill Worrell, IWMA Manager;
Patricia Goldman, County Auditor's Office; Carolyn Dominguez, City of SLO Accounting
Manager; John Moss, City of SLO Utilities Director; Ron Munds, City of SLO Utilities
Conservation Coordinator; Sue Baasch, City of SLO, Utilities Administrative Analyst. The
committee's review was completed with the submission and approval of the 1995 and 1996
audited financials from San Luis Garbage Company.
The key issues during the review process were:
• Submittal of audited financials
The City's rate review committee determined the application and audited financial submittal
complete and satisfactory on August 10, 1998. According to the rate setting manual,
normally a base year or interim year application should be submitted in late spring. The
review process would be completed in the summer, and approved rate adjustments would be
implemented on the following January 1. Therefore, according to the rate setting manual,
the 1998 base year rate adjustment would normally have taken place on January 1, 1998.
However, it was delayed this year until staff could receive, review and approve the required
audited financial statements.
Accordingly, staff should be reviewing the 1999 interim year application at this time;
however, that application,which must be accompanied by 1997 audited financial statements,
has not been filed. Staff anticipates that it will be filed shortly, along with a request for a
1999 mid-year implementation.

• Projected revenues from commercial customer versus increasing costs to provide service to
commercial customers.
At the beginning of the application review process, the committee asked about the trend
showing flat or reduced revenues from commercial customers, while expenses and
customers were increasing. San Luis Garbage Company explained that the increased
participation in the cardboard collection and white office paper recycling programs was
responsible for this trend. Some San Luis Obispo commercial customers needed daily
collection of cardboard, and the amount of revenue generated from the sale of cardboard did
not offset the expense of collecting the cardboard. This issue generated the analysis of the
commercial recycling services and associated charges, and eventually led to Council
approval of commercial recycling rates as previously described.
• Impact of other changes on the rate application.
Since the last rate review in May 1996, there were three system changes having a significant
financial impact on the San Luis Garbage Company's operations: the City's request for
downtown and park collection (previously collected by City staff); Cal Poly's election to use
Ralcco for their solid waste and recycling collection services; and the City's request to
recover the costs for their solid waste activities through an AB 939 fee collected through the
solid waste rates. San Luis Garbage estimates the combined effect of these changes at about
$200,000 to $250,000 in additional required revenue, or a rate increase of between four and
five percent.
• Projected inflation and growth rates
Inflation is projected at 2.1 percent, based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers, US City average, October 1996 to October 1997. Growth is projected at one
percent,pursuant to the City's general plan for growth.
• Appropriate split of County/City solid waste expenses and revenues
San Luis Garbage Company currently serves the City of San Luis Obispo and some areas of
the County adjacent to the City. To appropriately segregate costs and revenues attributable
to the City, San Luis Garbage Company provided additional information to both the City
and the County. The rate application contains the recommended division, which is based on
the County adopting very similar(not exact) services and pricing as the City.

Rate Setting Model
The 1998 rate application completed the requirements in the City's Rate Setting Process and
Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates (adopted by Council in
1994)with the submittal of approved 1995 and 1996 audited financials.
The City's solid waste rate setting process binds the contractor and City to a method of
determining revenue adequacy, as well as to a process and schedule for rate application review.
While this ensures rate payers that rate reviews are consistent, it also obligates the City to
approve rates that are consistent with this process and method.
Under this methodology,base year applications are done every third year. Base year applications
require a detailed submittal and review of past, current and future operating expenses. Less
detailed interim applications are required in year two and three of the cycle, and are intended to
adjust only for the prior year cost-of-living changes and any changes to the landfill tipping costs.
Ongoing annual review promotes rate stability and revenue adequacy.
Summary of rate-setting provisions:
• Profit is based on the approved operating ratio, the relationship between allowable costs
and the total operating revenues. The recent renewed franchise agreement changed the
allowable operating ratio from 92%to 93%, reducing allowable profit by one percent.
• Profit is limited to allowable costs. Allowable costs include direct labor, corporate
overhead (capped at $135,127 in 1998), office salaries and other general and administrative
costs. Income taxes, charitable and political contributions, entertainment and profit-sharing
payments not related to an IRS-approved pension program are examples of non-allowable
costs and cannot be included in the revenue requirement.
• Profit is not allowed on pass through costs. Examples of pass through costs are landfill
tipping fees, franchise fees, AB 939 and regulatory fees, and lease payments to affiliated
companies.
Key Assumptions in 1998 Rate Application
• Tipping fees
Tipping fees are assumed to remain at $24.55 through 1998.
• Customer counts
Residential customers accounts are assumed to grow by 2.4% from 1997 levels, for a total of
10,200 residential accounts. Commercial customers accounts are assumed to grow by .2%
from 1997 levels, for a total of 1,887 commercial accounts.
• Tons to the landfill
Residential waste taken to the landfill is assumed to remain consistent with 1997 levels,
assuming a 2.4% customer growth rate. Total residential waste to the landfill is projected at
9,450 tons. In 1997, residential waste to the landfill totaled 9,228 tons, declining by 19.4%
from 11,447 tons collected in 1996, which declined by 7.2% from the 12,336 tons collected
�y
Council Agenda Report— 1998 Base Year Solid Waste Rate Review
Page 5
in 1995. Non-residential waste taken to the landfill is also assumed to be consistent with
1997 levels, assuming the 0.2% growth in customers. In 1997, non-residential waste to the
landfill declined by 14.4%. In 1997, non-residential waste totaled 21,203 tons, declining by
14.4%from the high of 24,779 tons collected in 1996.
• Tons to residential recycling
Residential recycling is assumed to remain consistent with 1997 levels, assuming a 2.4%
customer growth rate. Total sorted tons are projected at 2,227 in 1998, and unsorted tons at
1,097.
• Tons to commercial recycling
Commercial recycling accounts are assumed to remain consistent with 1997 levels, but in
1996 accounts grew by 25.7% , and by 19.4% in 1995. The number of routes have increased
from four in 1995 to six in 1998. Direct labor hours have grown from 10,800 in 1995 to a
projected 17,280 in 1998.
Survey of Solid Waste Services and Rates - Other Cities
As part of the rate setting process, San Luis Garbage Company (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 III is 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, AB939 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.

Page 27 Incorporated
flows will be the responsibility of the developer. Typically, wastewater charges are based on water
consumption. In the absence of a City water meter, City staff will estimate the usage. This estimate may
be based on fixture units, usage by similar properties, installation of a meter on the well, installation of a
meter on the wastewater discharge lateral, or some other means.
Wastewater Service & Facilities
In 1994, the City completed improvements to its wastewater treatment plant to improve both the quality of
the treated effluent, as well as increase the capacity of treatment facilities for wet weather flows. The
capacity of the current plant is 5.1 mgd (million gallons per day). With existing development, current flows
average about 4.5 mgd. The proposed project will increase the demand on current treatment facilities, as well
as affect other facilities connected to the plant that carry flows from the area.
This property is tributary to the Laguna Sewage Lift Station, which is known to be over capacity. The City
plans to replace the lift station, once the ultimate capacity is determined. The Wastewater Facilities Master
Plan will provide this information by the end of this year. Design and construction of the new lift station are
not expected prior to the year 2000. All facilities impacted by this development shall be modified or
otherwise shown to have adequate capacity to handle the additional flows prior to construction.
Conclusion: Potentially significant impact.
The owner's engineer shall submit water demand and wastewater generation calculations so that the City can
make a determination as to the adequacy of the supporting infrastructure. If it is discovered that an off-site
deficiency exists, the owner will be required to mitigate the deficiency as a part of the overall project.
Issue Area Workscope:
A. What are the projected flows for the project?
B. How will projected flows impact the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant?
C. Evaluate the status of the Laguna sewer lift station and its schedule for replacement as it relates to
the development of the project.
Solid Waste Disposal/RecycAng
Reducing the amount of waste generated and disposed of, and increasing the amount of waste that is
recycled, can extend the life of existing landfills, and reduce the need for expensive new sites or expansions
of existing sites. The San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority reports that per capita
disposal, from all sources, in the State of California is approximately 4-5 pounds of waste per day. Cold
Canyon landfill, the primary disposal facility for the City of San Luis Obispo, is projected to reach its capacity
around 2018.
Policy:
Consistent with requirements specified in AB939, the City's Source Reduction and Recycling Element calls for
the diversion of 50% of all solid waste from landfills by January 1, 2000 through source reduction, recycling,
and composting activities.
Conclusion: Potentially significant unless mitigated.
Cumulatively, projects that do not provide for recycling in all phases of their construction and operation
prematurely reduce the capacity of landfills and result in the consumption of raw materials and resources
rather than reuse of recycled materials in the manufacture of new products.
