If approved, these increases will be effective on January 15, 2018. The purpose of this notice is to describe the proposed rate increases and to notify you of the public hearing. THE PROPOSAL The City Council will consider the following proposed solid waste rate increases at the City Council meeting on January 8, 2018:  A 3.34% CPI increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential and commercial solid waste and recyclable materials, and  A 1.72% CPI increase for unscheduled solid waste services as listed on this Notice. The purpose of the City’s solid waste rates is to recover the costs of providing solid waste services, which are provided by Recology San Mateo County under contract with the City. The proposed rate increases are designed to ensure that the revenue collected from the solid waste rates is sufficient to cover the full costs of providing solid waste services. REGULAR SERVICE A 3.34% CPI increase is proposed for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential and commercial solid waste and recyclable materials. The proposed 3.34% increase is based on the one year change in the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA area. Redwood City has not increased regular solid waste collection rates since 2013. Even with the CPI adjustment, the proposed rates will remain less than the average for the area. For a residential customer with a 32-gallon cart, the increase amounts to a little less than one dollar a month.
