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 monthly solid waste rate increases at the City Council meeting on January 27, 2025: • $8.00 increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential solid waste and recyclable materials for 20- gallon bins, • $7.00 increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential solid waste and recyclable materials for 32- gallon bins, • $6.00 increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential solid waste and recyclable materials for 64- gallon bins • $5.00 increase for regular, scheduled, basic collection of residential solid waste and recyclable materials for 96- gallon bins, and • 2.968% 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. The South Bayside Waste Management Authority is a joint powers authority formed by eleven local government jurisdictions, which, among other duties, provides strategic oversight and thoroughly reviews Recology’s revenue requests to ensure that the prescribed process as delineated in the franchise agreement is being followed and that proposed rates do not exceed Recology’s approved costs of service.
