HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 11, 1990 (47)PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council increase the surcharge on refuse to
3.5% from 2.8% effective for all bills prepared after
August 1, 1990.
BACKGROUND WFAWM Over the past years, the State has mandated certain
charges on users of landfills. The operator of the
landfill is billed by the State and the operator in
turn bills the entity taking refuse to the landfill.
Our agreement with Sanitary City Disposal is that the City will reimburse them for
the additional costs.
In order to collect this from the user and to account for the fund, me have added
a surcharge to the bill.
The latest increase is effective July 1, 1990 which amounts to $.50 per ton. This
translates into .8%or approximately S.05 per can on the refuse bill.
