Resolution No. 9687
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Increasing
Refuse Rates by Amending Utility Rate Schedule Rl
(Domestic Refuse Collection)
R E C I T A L S
A. Pursuant to Chapter 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, the City
Council may by resolution adopt rules and regulations governing utility services, fees and
charges.
B. As required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution and
applicable law, on June 19, 2017 the Council held a full and fair public hearing regarding the
proposed refuse rate increase and considered all protests against the proposal.
C. As required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution and
applicable law, notice of the June 19, 2017 public hearing was mailed to all City of Palo Alto
Utilities refuse customers by May 5, 2017.
D. The City Clerk has tabulated the total number of written protests presented by
the close of the public hearing, and determined that it was less than fifty percent (50%) of the
total number of customers and property owners subject to the proposed refuse rate
amendments, therefore a majority protest does not exist against the proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Utility
Rate Schedule R1 (Domestic Refuse Collection) is hereby amended to read in accordance with
Sheets R11, R12, attached hereto and incorporated herein. The foregoing Utility Rate
Schedules, as amended, shall become effective on July 1, 2017.
SECTION 2. The rates contained in the attached Rate Schedules shall be in effect
until Council adopts a new rate structure.
SECTION 3. The Council finds that the revenue derived from the authorized
adjustments of the refuse collection rates shall not be used for any purpose other than
providing refuse service, and the purposes set forth in Article VII, Section 2, of the Charter of
the City of Palo Alto.

SECTION 4. The Council finds that the amount of the refuse rates imposed upon
any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional
cost of the refuse service attributable to the parcel.
SECTION 5. The Council finds that the fees and charges adopted by this resolution
are charges imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor
that are not provided to those not charged, and do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City
of providing the service or product.
SECTION 6. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution changing refuse
rates to meet operating expenses, purchase supplies and materials, meet financial reserve
needs and obtain funds for capital improvements necessary to maintain service is not subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to California Public Resources
Code Sec. 21080(b)(8) and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Sec. 15273(a). After
reviewing the relevant staff reports and all attachments presented to Council, the Council
incorporates these documents herein and finds that sufficient evidence has been presented
setting forth with specificity the basis for this claim of CEQA exemption.
