DISCUSSION The City ' s refuse collection rate is comprised of several components. The rate includes a gate fee component which the City indirectly pays to the County of Orange for disposal services at the landfill . Gate fees are determined by the County Board of Supervisors and are beyond the direct control of the City. There will be no increase in the gate fee on July 1, 1994 . The refuse collection rate includes a collection and recycling component which the City pays directly to Great Western Reclamation. Charges and adjustments for collection and recycling services were determined by a competitive RFP process in 1993 and reflected in a subsequent agreement with Great Western Reclamation. The City implemented the first two phases of its recycling program last year without a rate increase. Effective July 1, 1994 , the rate for collection and recycling will increase to support the implementation of the final phase of the City ' s recycling program which is required by state mandate. The refuse collection rate also includes administrative fees to support the City ' s billing operation and administration of the refuse and recycling program. Administrative fees reflect only a cost of living increase. 155 C5.383 Public Hearing to Consider Adjustments to the Refuse Collection Rate July 5 , 1994 Page 2 Increases as they occur must be passed on to the curbside refuse customer if the refuse collection enterprise is to remain self- supporting. Staff recommends approval of a resolution that sets the refuse rate effective July 1, 1994 and provides for the adjustment of the rate as changes in refuse disposal, collection and recycling become effective. FISCAL IMPACT The increase required to pay for the final phase of the City' s recycling program is estimated at a cost of $550, 600 in fiscal year 94-95 . The increase due for cost of living adjustments is estimated to cost $30 , 100 in the 94-95 fiscal year. Both are contractual obligations of the agreement with the City' s refuse contractor and were effective July 1, 1994 . The rate payable by the curbside customer will be $12 . 82 per month.
