Increased landfill tipping fees of up to 25 % may be passed on to customers through rate increases following a written request to the Public Works Director; increases more than 25 % requires a City Council approval. PPI adjustments are required by the terms of the franchise agreement to occur annually in January and also require City Council resolution. REFUSE RATE ANALYSIS Single Famil The results of the rate review study performed by Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson in December 1993, demonstrated that tipping fees at Laidlaw/Chiquita Canyon landfill increased by $1.21 per ton on January 1, 1994. This translates to a 1. 1 % increase in monthly rates which equals $0.21 per household per month. In addition, the changes in the PPI reflect 1.0% increase which represents an increase of $0.19 per household per month. These incremental changes distributed over the total waste disposal tonnages and operational expenses for single family households represent an increase of $.40 per household per month. Attachment A includes the rate adjustment summary. Multi-Famil Multifamily accounts will be affected by an increase of 1. 2 % in monthly rates due to landfill disposal fees and a 0.9% increase for the PPI adjustment, therefore the monthly rates are to be adjusted by an average 2. 1 % (see attachment A). Mooed: 9,Y AgeHa Item: Collection of Refuse Fees January 25, 1994 Page 2 These adjustments are effective immediately.
