7.A. - Page 12 of 16 Redwood CityI California City Pounded 1861 Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Solid Waste Rate Increases Date: Monday, February 22, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. Location: Zoom Teleconference https://redwoodcity.zoom.us/m/99481825639 Meeting ID: 994 8182 5639 Dial -in audio: (669) 900-6833 On Monday, February 22, 2021, at 7:00 p.m., via teleconference pursuant to Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-29-20, the City Council of the City of Redwood City will hold a public hearing to consider: (1) a $1.00 increase for residential regular solid waste collection rates for 20 -gallon and 32 -gallon bins; and (2) a 2.57% increase for unscheduled solid waste services. If approved, these increases will be effective on March 1, 2021. 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 February 22, 2021: • $1.00 increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential solid waste and recyclable materials for 20 -gallon bins and 32 -gallon bins, and • 2.57% increase for unscheduled solid waste services. The proposed solid waste rates are calculated to recover the cost of providing solid waste services to each commercial and residential customer class. These services 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 Recology's full costs of providing solid waste services. REGULAR SERVICE The proposed increases are necessary to proportionately allocate increased collection costs, including, but not limited to disposal and processing fees, labor costs, fuel and power costs, and other associated operating and maintenance costs, to the rates paid by each customer class. Even with the proposed increases, rates for Redwood City customers will remain less than the average in San Mateo County. For residential customers with 20 -gallon or 32 -gallon carts (approx. 86% of Redwood City customers), the increase amounts to one dollar more per month. 527
