FINANCE COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
AGENDA DATE: May 23, 1996 CMR:275:96
SUBJECT:REFUSE RATE INCREASE
REQUEST
This report requests that Council approve a 9 percent refuse rate increase.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution to increase Refuse Fund
Revenue by 9 percent, or $1.5 million annually, to meet increased financial obligations to the
Refuse Fund and to maintain a Refuse Fund reserve consistent with the Council adopted
reserve policy. The last increase was on July 1, 1994. This report provides Council with a
rate structure proposal, background information supporting the rate increase, and other issues
that impact refuse rates.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This report does not directly represent any change to existing policies. However, the rate
increase does presume funding for continued activity towards implementation of the new
Refuse Operations Yard project on the former Los Altos Treatment Plant site.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The issues that necessitate a refuse rate increase are the proposed acquisition of the former
Los Altos Treatment Plant (LATP) site, the increases in tonnage of refuse delivered to the
Sunnyvale Material and Recovery Transfer (SMART) station, and the reduction in customer
revenues (CMR:223: 96).
Refuse Fund revenue is used for landfill operations, street sweeping, household hazardous
waste programs, waste diversion programs mandated by the State, long-term hauling and
disposal agreements, closure and post-closure environmental fund, and transfers to the
General Fund for landfill rent and administrative reimbursement. The fund also provides
for a percentage of the customer revenues to be paid to Palo Alto Sanitation Company
(PASCO) for its services. PASCO.provides refuse collection services, operation of the
CMR:275:96 Page 1 of 5
Recycling Center, operation of the single family and multi-family curbside and commercial
recycling programs, and emptying and maintaining the public trash receptacles in business
districts and various other areas.
Basis for Rate Increase:
Los Altos Treatment Plant Site. Staff is currently pursuing the acquisition of the
remaining interest in the former LATP. The Refuse Fund has .purchased a 50 percent
interest in the LATP site over an eight year period, which ended in fiscal year 1992. The
future acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of the site will be borne by the Utilities
Department and will not affect the rate increase. However, staff has requested $600,000
in the FY 1996-97 Refuse Fund budget for the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report, preliminary design, and investigation of permitting requirements for the site.
SMART Station. The costs for the use of the SMART Station by Palo Alto next year are
projected to increase approximately $964,000, due to increased tonnage of refuse to be
delivered by Palo Alto and the processing of recyclables on site. The increases are
consistent with staff’s original projections and contractual obligations. The City’s Source
Reduction and Recycling Plan (SRRE), on file with both the County and the State, reflects
the same tonnage estimates.
Reduction in Customer Revenues. Customer revenues have decreased in the areas of bins,
rental fees and commercial sector refuse. The downturn in the development and
construction related economy in the last few years has reduced the number of debris box
rentals used in construction projects in Palo Alto. In addition, aggressive recycling and
waste reduction programs have been implemented in the commercial sector, and as a
result, recycling participation has increased and refuse tonnages have decreased.
Proposed Rate Increase Information:
Success of Current Rate Structure. In FY 1993-94, Council created a single family rate
structure category of the 20 gallon "mini-can" and continued the "volume neutral" rate
structure which had been established in FY 1992-93. This structure requires customers to
pay proportionately more for the increases in garbage they generate. The goal was to
provide an incentive for residents to reduce their waste and increase recycling to meet State
mandated (AB939) waste diversion goals of 25 percent by 1995 and 50 percent by 2000.
As seen below, both of theSe structures have very successfully encouraged residents to
change their service level to fewer cans or the mini-can. Since 1992, 77 percent of the
single family (R1) customer base have changed their subscription level. The migration to
fewer cans and the mini-can has resulted in a small decrease in residential refuse
generation and a resultant increase in recycling. As a result, the City has exceeded the
1995 State mandated diversion goal of 25 percent, by diverting a total of 44 percent of the
City’s entire 1990 base waste stream.

Projections for the Refuse Fund through 2004. Staff annually reviews and updates the
Refuse Fund Ten Year Financial Forecast to determine the rate increase percentage which
may be required in subsequent years. The projections assume that the expenses will
increase at approximately 2 percent per year. Staff also includes known futureprojects
(and costs), such as closure of portions of the landfill. Attachment A shows the forecast
of refuse rate revenues and expenses through fiscal year 2003-04. New programs, changes
to existing regulatory requirements, additional state and federal landfill mandates, or new
refuse utility capital improvement projects will result in revisions to the projected future
increases beyond those shown.
Proposed Fiscal Year 1996-97 Rate Increase. Staff is recommending a 9 percent rate
increase, effective July 1, 1996. The rate increase maintains the Rate Stabilization Reserve
(RSR) above its minimum guideline level, payments to PASCO, SMART station costs,
Kirby Canyon disposal fee, San Jose business tax, Refuse Fund operating budget,
reductions in customer revenues, and other refuse related obligations and expenditures.
Prior projections of the FY 1996-97 refuse rate increase had been estimated at 8 percent
(CMR:254:94). The additional i percent increment is due to the costs of the LATP project
development activities and the decrease in customer revenues as previously discussed.
Survey of Single Family Rates. In order to determine how Palo Alto’s current single
family rates G-I) compare to rates and services in other jurisdictions, a survey of
surrounding jurisdictions wasperformed. Because Palo Alto provides more comprehensive
services from the Refuse Fund than do other jurisdictions, it is difficult to compare the
service levels. It should be noted when looking at the chart below, that even with the
higher service level, Palo Alto’s rates are competitive. A more detailed review of
comparative rates will be provided in the results of the Refuse Cost of Service Study which
will be presented to Council at the end of this summer.

Rate Stabilization Reserve. In order to smooth year-to-year fluctuations in Refuse Fund
expenses and provide funding for unbudgeted and emergency expenses, Council adopted
a Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) in 1993. The minimum guideline level for the Refuse
Fund RSR is 10 percent of sales revenue for that year. The projected ending balance for
next fiscal year is $2.03 million, which is 11 percent above the $1.81 million minimum
guideline and well below the $3.62 million maximum guideline.
Cost of Service Study. In FY 1994-95 staff budgeted $60,000 for a cost of service study
(COS). The purpose of the study was to evaluate a number of items including: 1) a cost
comparison of services provided by PASCO versus other communities, 2) a comparison
of rates, and 3) identification of the costs of various programs in the Refuse Fund (garbage
and recycling collection, street sweeping, etc). The result of the evaluation would be to
determine if, and where cost reductions may be appropriate for future budget
recommendations.
The COS is in final draft and will be completed later this fiscal year. Staff will present the
findings and recommendations to Council in a separate report this summer. There is one
issue that will likely be reevaluated in future refuse rate setting actions. Palo Alto’s rates
for additional can and bin service for the commercial area do not differentiate between the
number or size of containers and collection frequency in a manner that reflects the cost of
collection. For example, the rate for collecting a 1-cubic yard bin six times per week is
the same as the rate for collecting a 6-cubic yard bin once per week. This rate structure
was set up in the early 1990’s as a means to encourage commercial recycling, but it has
removed the incentive for customers to switch from smaller containers collected more
frequently, to larger containers collected with lower frequency.
CMR:275:96 Page 4 of 5
Staff reviewed, previous years’ rate structures and have determined that to correctly
apportion the costs for increased collection frequency, a significant reevaluation of the rate
structure is required. Therefore, staff will not propose changes until next fiscal year,
subsequent to Council review of the COS study.
Bin Rental Charge. With the exception of last fiscal year when the bin rental rates
increased by 5 percent, bin~rental-rates have been increasing at the ~arne percentage as
refuse collection. The increase is disproportionate to the cost of purchase, service,
maintenance, and depreciation of the bins. Additionally, businesses and residential
customers often complain about the high cost of bin rentals in Palo Alto compared to other
cities. This year staff is proposing to freeze the bin rental and detachable container rental
charges; however, the rate for collection of refuse contained in the bins will be increased
by 9 percent as proposed for other schedules.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 9 percent increase will generate $1.5 million to the Refuse Fund. The increased fund
expenses will result in an overall reduction to the Rate Stabilization Reserve of $.99 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
There is no Environmental Assessment required.
