CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Set public hearing for November 17, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers to
consider rate adjustments for Integrated Waste Division customers and customers of
franchised haulers.
Background:
The Public Services Department, Integrated Waste Management Division is proposing
an increase to the refuse rates. Refuse rates were last increased in 2004. Since that
time we have not increased or adjusted the rates to keep pace with growing operational
and capital expenses. This year we are proposing a 15 percent increase for all
residential services and an 18 percent increase for all commercial services. The rate
increase is a direct response to the 39 percent or 5.8 million-dollar overall increase in
costs to provide services over the past four years. These increased costs include:
1. Fuel: $379,000
2. Landfill Tipping Fee: $652,000
3. Debt Service: $668,000
4. Internal Service: $191,000
5. Personnel: $793,000
6. Garage Charges: $686,000
7. Waterman Landfill: $2,447,000
If approved, the new rate for residential collection will increase to $22.84 from $19.86
per month. The rate for a 3 cubic yard bin will increase from $101.00 to $119.18. All
other rates are detailed on the attached spreadsheet (Attachment "1").
The proposed new rate structure includes the elimination of cost for additional blue carts
for residential customers and a 50% reduction in the cost of recycling bins provided for
our commercial customers.
Six months after the adoption of the new rate structure will officially launch the free
residential bulky collection program. This program will allow all single family residences
to schedule the collection of bulky items, such as couches, water heaters, refrigerators
and similar items for collection twice a year for no cost. If approved the rate increase
would take effect on January 1, 2009 and would be applied to all of the accounts
serviced by the City of San Bernardino.

Staff Report- Continued
In compliance with Article XIIID of the California State Constitution and the
Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, notice must be given 45-days
before the hearing to customers of record and parcel owners. The notice will
describe the date, time and place for the hearing and provide an explanation of
the proposed increases. It is recommended that noticing be completed to allow
the public hearing to be set for November 17, 2008 at 4:00PM in the City Council
Chambers. In the event the new rates are approved on November 17, then a
notice of rate adjustment would be mailed to all customers in December and the
new rates would become effective January 1, 2009.
Financial Impact:
Adoption of the new rate structure would result in $1,354,586 over the final six months
of the fiscal year.
Recommendation:
That the Mayor and Common Council set a public hearing for November 17, 2008 at
4:00 p.m.; and that the required notifications be authorized.
