'CITY OF SAN BER.QRDINO - REQUEST Q.,R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The proposed increase in the residential and COllIllE!rcial refuse collection
fees have been recomnended to offset the 27% increase in tipping (dumping)
fees which was approved by the County Board of Supervisors effective
7/1/90. The Department of Public Services has budgeted $2,800,000 for
County dumping charges for both the ccmmercial and residential refuse
sections. This represent.s an increase of 16% over last year I s budget. The
tipping fees are a pass through payment to the County for the estimated
150,OCO tons of trash which are projected to be dumped at County landfill
sites next fiscal year.
As noted on the attached fund balance statement, the estimated revenues
using the existing refuse fee structure as a base will generate
approximately $9,042,775 in fiscal year 90-91. Estimated expenditures are
$9,956,083. Assuming no refusf' rate increase, the estimated deficit fund
balance as of June 30, 1991 will be $962,857.
The proposed refuse rate increase of 16% for all single-family collection,
multiple dwelling and mobile horee parks, as well as a cOllIl\E!rcial rate
increase of $.35 per cubic yard will collect be generate approximately
$1,076,700 in additional revenue. This will offset the projected deficit
fund balance of $962,857 assuming collection projections remain constant.
The estimated fund balance on June 30, 1991 with the rate increase will be
$113,843.
It is therefore reccmmended that the Mayor and Council adopt the proposed
refuse rate increase effective July 1, 1990.

Solid Waste Management Department
SUBJECT:
SOLID WASTE MANAGEJlENT DEPARTMENT FEE ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:Read title only of proposed ordinance to amend
Solid Waste Management Refuse Disposal Fee: waive reading of
the entire text and continue to Monday, May 14, 1990, for
adoption on the consent calendar.
BACKGROUND: In 1983 the Board established the Solid Waste
Management Enterprise Fund to provide for general operations
programs and reserve funds to close landfills, maintain closed
landfills, enhance current capacity, and purchase future
sites.
The County presently operates 20 refuse disposal facilities:
four (4) valley landfills, fourteen (14) desert landfills, one
(1) East Mountain landfill and one (1) West Mountain transfer
station. As a requirement of operation as an Enterprise Fund,
the Solid Waste Management Program must fund all of its
mandated costs from revenues it collects. Revenues are
generated from gate fees in the urban valley, Land Use Fees
in the unincorporated area of the desert and mountains, and
either by fees charged to haulers servicing incorporated areas
of the desert and mountains, or by contract arrangements with
desert or mountain cities.
The proposed fee increases are necessary to adequately fund
refuse disposal operations programs, compliance with air and
water quality orders and other operational and fiscal
requirements of regulatory agencies, the funding of the State
Solid Waste Disposal Site Cleanup Maintenance Program created
by A.B. 2448, the funding of Integrated Waste Management Board
program costs mandated by A.B. 939, and set aside reasonable
reserve funds for formal closure of landfills, acquisition of
future sites and development of increased landfill capacity.

DBPARTMENT FBB ADJUSTMENT
For fiscal year 1990/91, Solid Waste Management fees at valley
landfills are proposed to be increased from $17. 70/ton to
$22.30/ton. The fee charged for disposal of waste tires is
proposed to be increased from $50.05/ton to $64.08/ton. These
amounts when added to approved D.E.H.S. fees will set gate
fees at $23. SO/ton on municipal refuse and $65. OO/ton for
tires.
I
L-
It is recommended that no increase in facility use fees be
charged to area residents using the valley landfills in pick-
up trucks, cars, station wagons and small trailers. This
continuation of current rates is proposed in order to promote
proper disposal of refuse in landfills and discourage illegal
dumping.
In the West Mountain area, annual Land Use Fees are proposed
to be increased from $63.34 to $85.50 per equivalent
residential unit, to cover costs resulting from the larger
volume of refuse handled, increased disposal charges and state
mandated program costs.
No change is proposed at this time, for the fees charged in
incorporated cities within the desert and mountain areas, nor
to the Land Use Fees assessed to the unincorporated segments
of the desert and East Mountain area. The development and
proration of site acquisition and closure reserves through
land use assessments and per capita permit fees for the desert
and mountain areas are now being studied through a cooperative
agreement between the county and area cities, with the results
expected in June or July. The Solid Waste Management
Department intends to review and consider such results with
area cities prior to recommending any revision or increase to
the desert and East Mountain fee structure.
The proposed ordinance amends Section 16.0222, by revising
subsection (a) with respect to the valley disposal fees,
subsection (c)(1) with respect to the west mountain disposal
facility fees, and subsection (h) (3) with respect to tire
disposal fees.
All fee increases are proposed to become effective July 1,
1990.

PAGB 3
DBPARTMENT FBB ADJUSTMENT
REASON FOR RBCOMIIBNDATI:ON: Board of supervisor I s approval is
required to adopt an ordinance to amend solid Waste Management
disposal site fees.
RBVI:D BY OTBBRS: This item was reviewed by Robert L. Jocks,
Deputy County Counsel on April 27, 1990.
FI:NANCI:AI. DATA: The increase in Solid Waste Management Refuse
Disposal Fees is necessary to meet certain mandated programs,
reserve requirements, and will provide funds for the increased
costs associated with the operation of the Solid Waste
Management Enterprise Fund.
The increase in the valley disposal fees will ~enerate
$6,734,000 in revenue for Fiscal Year 1990-91. The 1ncrease
in fees is impacted, in part, by the anticipated reduction of
approximatelY 370,000 tons from what was estimated for 1990-
91. In order to recover fixed costs, of $1,506,000, at the
reduced tonnage level, valley disposal fees were increased
$1.03 per ton.
The increase in the west mountain disposal facility fees will
generate an increase of $618,000 in revenue for Fiscal Year
1990-91. This is due, in part, to the increase in the valley
disposal fees.
These fees will be reviewed on an annual basis prior to July
1 of every year.
