Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 13-23 authorizing a change in the method of calculating fees from volume based to weight based fees at the Urban Transfer Stations and the Western Regional Landfill for Fiscal Year 2013-2014, effective August 9, 2013.
Background:
The proposed change in calculation method is to ensure all costs are being covered at the Urban Transfer Stations by switching from a volume based fee schedule to a weight based fee schedule. All Urban Transfer Station and Western Regional Landfill customers will weigh in and out and will be assessed the fee when exiting, that fee will be based on the current weighed tipping fee in proportion to the weight of material that is disposed of. A minimum charge of $4.00 per load will be charged. The former fee assessment method based on bag, car/van/SUV and truck load will be eliminated at the Urban Transfer Stations and the Western Regional Landfill.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The approved item will be presented to the public for a 30 day public notice period. In addition to the formal public notice, customers at each Urban Transfer Station and Western Regional Landfill will be informed of the upcoming fee changes, during this 30 day time span. At the end of those 30 days: August 9, 2013 the change of fee calculation will take effect.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved cost recovery improvement will not take place, and costs will exceed revenues for volume based customers.
