8.A. - Page 2 of 15 <br />commercial solid waste and recyclable materials, such as weekly collection. Unscheduled services include <br />miscellaneous services that are above and beyond routine garbage collection, such as backyard collection, <br />key service, or additional carts. Staff recommends the minimum 9.4% increase in rates for regular, <br />scheduled solid waste services and 2.07% increase in rates for unscheduled solid waste services, as found <br />in the SBWMA-approved application. <br />The 9.4% proposed adjustment will be just the second adjustment to regular solid waste rates since 2013. <br />Figures 1 and 2 below chart Redwood City's current and proposed rates against those of other Bay Area <br />agencies. Even with the proposed increases, Redwood City's rates will remain less than the average for <br />the region. For a residential customer with a 32 -gallon cart service, the most popular service level, the <br />increase amounts to less than three dollars per month. Staff presented this recommendation to the City <br />Council's Utilities Subcommittee at their November 19, 2018 meeting. <br />Figure 1: Comparison of 2018 Residential Solid Waste Rates, based on 32 -Gallon Cart <br />Regional Residential 32 Gallon Rates <br />$60.00 <br />$50.00 <br />$50.00 $45.81 $48.22 <br />75th Percentile @ $42,25 $44.00 <br />$Qo.00 $35.38 -- — ————————— — — — — —— —$36,98 <br />_ _ _ <br />50th Perce e @ $32.17 $29.45 $ $33,47 <br />28.21 $30.86 <br />$30.00 — -- --- $26.03 ------ --— <br />$23.85 $22.77 <br />$21.24 <br />$20.00 <br />$10.00 <br />S <br />01 <br />het roto ��° apt O�� toQ� c a `gm Q• ado <br />LK� \�? ha Sa <br />ooa ora` a`� o��a <br />ea �� <br />*East Palo Alto requires minimum 96 -gallon residential service <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />618 <br />
