Resolution No. 10299
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending the Utility
Rate Schedules R-1 and R C to Increase Refuse Rate for Fiscal Year 2027
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; and
B. The City has considered the need for an adjustment in refuse collection rates to
reconcile the solid waste revenues with the projected costs of providing refuse services and to
minimize reliance on the Refuse Fund Rate Stabilization Reserve and has determined that the
proposed refuse collection rates will not result in revenues that exceed the funds required to
provide refuse service or in fees imposed on any parcel that exceed the proportional cost of
service attributable to that parcel; and
C. Pursuant to Article XIIID Sec. 6 of the California Constitution and Government Code
Section 53755, on June 15, 2026 the Council of the City of Palo Alto held a full and fair public
hearing to consider all protests against the proposed refuse rate increases; and
D. As required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution and applicable law,
notice of the June 15, 2026 public hearing was mailed to all City of Palo Alto Utilities refuse
customers and property owners on April 30, 2026; and
E. The total number of written protests submitted by parcels receiving refuse collection
services, prior to the close of the public hearing, was less than fifty percent (50%) of the total
number of parcels subject to the proposed refuse rate increases.
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 R-1 (Domestic Refuse Collection) is hereby amended to read as shown in Attachment
C, Exhibit 1. Utility Rate Schedule R-1, as amended, shall become effective on July 1, 2026.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Utility Rate
Schedule R-C (Commercial Refuse Collection) is hereby amended to read in as shown in
Attachment C, Exhibit 1. The foregoing Utility Rate Schedule R-C, as amended, shall become
effective on July 1, 2026.
SECTION 3. The Council finds that the revenue derived from the authorized

adjustments of the refuse collection rates shall be used only for the purpose of providing refuse
service and minimizing reliance on the Refuse Fund Rate Stabilization Reserve, the purposes set
forth in Article VII, Section 2, of the Charter of the City of Palo Alto, consistent with any limitations
imposed by Article XIII C and Article XIII D of the California Constitution.
SECTION 4. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution amending the Utility
Rate Schedules R-1 and R-C 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).
This action is also not subject to CEQA under 14 CCR Sec. 15378(b)(4), as a fiscal activity that does
not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant
physical impact on the environment. After reviewing the staff report 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.
