MINUTE ORDER NO. 84 -163 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- REPORTS OF CITY MANAGER 6. Refuse Collection rate Increase (BFI) Report of City Manager and Director of Finance 9/21/84 Director of Finance Tasseff commented and replied to questions by Council regarding the successful Fall special refuse pickup, with the result that 600 tons of extra refuse was collected; and that the rate increase is being requested primarily because of the costs of the transfer station. Richard Romanski, legal counsel for BFI, responded to concerns as to what can be expected in coming years with regard to costs, with a review of the events preceding the round of rate discussions last year which involved discussions by the members of the Joint Powers Authority regarding the best way to proceed with adding in the costs of operation of the transfer station, and the participating cities agreed that rather than charge the extimated 26% increase in costs to the user at once, it was decided that the rate increase should be taken in two steps, and indicated that by next year the increases are expected to level off. Mr. Tasseff advised that the Joint Powers Authority has commissioned the same subcommittee who had studied the requested rate increase to review the franchise agreements and come up with a uniform agreement, so that rate increases next year, if all jurisdictions agree, would occur on October 1st, and would be almost mechanical using the Price Waterhouse format.
