Attention: Finance Committee
Refuse Ratp. Increase a!1o ccmtract Amendment
Members of the Council!
Dur.i.ng F'i 1993-94 the Palo Alto Refuse Fund financial obligations
w"ill increase significantlYi in order to r.\eet tbese require~ents.
a refuse rate increase of 30 percent is re~uired, effective July 1,
1993. The last refuse collection rate increase was on Ju.ly 1,
1932. For single family residents. the proposed rate structure
charges the same rate per can ($14.30), regardless of th~ number of
cans. staff also has propcsed a r.211l categor]', "rr.ini -can." .... ·hich is
a 20 gallon can ($11.00 per ~ontb.) vers'J.s the standard 32 gallon,
one can service.
This report also recornmend.s tJ"tat.. Cour.cil approve af"'.c authorize the
Mayor to execute an 3mendl':'le . .,t to the compensation section of the
existing contract with Palo Alto Sanitation company {PASCO}.
The present contract between PASCO and the City provides for ref'.lse
collection services, operation of the Recycling Center, operation
of the curbs ide and cor.ul';e~cia 1 recycling pr-c·gr-a~s, and the. emptying
and maintenance of trGsh recRptacles located in various areas of
the City, including the University apj California Avenue business
districts. This contract provides a percentage of Refuse Funa
revenue to be paid to PASCO for its services. The contract also
allows annual renegotiation of this percentage in order to protect
PASCO against escalating costs and to avoid exce!=.sive profits by
PA~CO.
The balance of ~he Refuse Fund revenue is to be used for:
1. the operation of tbe F.efus€! Disposa 1 .ll.rea including the

Refuse Fund operating budgets increase at cons"t!,-;,";:'r price index of

Other b!'.pacts include -c:he cost of a new regUlatory requirement from
the State Water Resourca-s Board to fund a special reserve totaling
$118,000 per year for the next five years W'hic[, has been incl1J.~ed

In June 1938, Council adapted a System Improvenent Reserve (SIR)
policy for the Ref-us,= FU:"lQ (CP;.R:J16:8). 'The SlP. is to provide
funding for unbudgeted and €TIier-gency e-xpenses, and 1S used to

City policy that th~ Refl.ise Fund Le operated on a cost recovery

{CMR) submitted by t.:t.ilities.
Rate Increase
The :rate in,=rease .... ill also cover pay-ments to PASCO for operating
exp~n5es and an agreed upon rate of return. PASCO's cperating
expenses for F~ 1993-94 are increasing due to hauling costs to the
SMaRT Station, recycl ing revenues cO'ltinue to decrease due to
:cec:essionary market::;, insurance increases, 2'rd replacement
equipment purcl'l-ases agreed to duri:Jg the City-PASCO annual revie ... ·•
The replaceme:1t equipment includes vehicles for Ief1.J.se collection
C'.nd t1'l.e addition of a ccmmercial recycling vehicle for Stanford
ResearCi."'1 Park. The proposed rate ..,il1 also provide funds to COnlply
...... ith regulatory progralr.s, landfill gas system Il'aintenance, leachate
collection and disposal, funding for City-generated hazardous waste
disposal, a!"'.d additional state and local regulatory fees and
programs. Finally, the inc~eese will finance capital improvements
related to lanClfill operation af'.d closure, including State required
15 to 30 year post-cloeur~ care.
The proposed rate structure charges thE:. same amount per can,
regardless of the n:...:mber of cans as approved by Council in Fiscal
Year 1992-93. Thus, tne proposed residential rate structure for
one can would be $14.30 per month ~ith €ach additional can $14.30.
This proposed rate structure continu.es to encourage W'aste reduction
and recycling for all categor::es of rate payers and · ... ,ill h021p the
City to achieve the AB 9351 goals of solid ..... 'aste reduction of 25
percent by 1995 and 50 percent by 2000. Tbe comparison below ShO~3

f!:"'Q.P.9sed New category "J1ini Can"
As a result of inquiries from Palo Alto residents, staff was
directed by counci 1 to create a ne' .. ' cztegot'y of servic£. less than
the standard (32 gallon) can. The i!1quirles were from residents
who r-ec::{cle, compost or generate ver:y little refuse and do not fill
their standard car. ea.ch .'eek. Staff contacted other jurisdictions
and found that some agencies had created a special categctry for a
service of this type ("mini-can" or "super recycler"). The lirnini_
can" container is 20 gallons, 3) percent smaller than the standard
container of 32 gallons. Staff proposes a new rate category titled
"mini-can,"' and this service will start on Juli' 1, 1993. The rate

Compensation .~.:mendment to PASCO_m __ {o.r:m_Collect ion Servi.~_§.§.
Tbe collection contract provides for a percent of refuse service
billings r-evenl.l€ to be. paid to PASCO f':;;r its services. City staff
has carefully analyzed PASCO's cost data to project the operating
cost requirements for FY 1993-94. For the purpose of rate setting
and PASCO profits, the pre-tax rdte of return on undepreciated
fixed assets is targeted at 5 perc~nt. Any pre-tax profit
exceeding S percent will be divided equally with the City. The
Ci't.y's share will be credited against tht: succeeding year's rEvenue
require~ent for PASCO. If PASCO were to receive more profit than
the agreed rate of return in any particular f isca 1 year, the
disallowed excess would be applied as an offset to next year's
revenue requirement, ~nd the percentage of refU5€ service billing
paid to PASCO would be redLced. This ensures against excessive
profits by PASCO.
The percentage of reVcl"lUe to be pa id to PJl.SCO wi 11 be decreased
frol'll JS. 07 percent to 31.02 per-cent for F'i 1993 -s.;. 'The reason for
