FROM: CITY MANAGER~
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITF~M #/~9~- REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15~ 1999
ORDINANCE NO. 18-99 (RATE REDUCTION FOR COMMERCIAL ROLLOUT
CART SERVICE)
DATE: JUNE 10, 1999
This is second reading and a public hearing for Ordinance No. 18-99
which reduces the rates for garbage and trash collection services
for customers using commercial carts. Specifically, it amends
Chapter 51, "Garbage and Trash", of the City Code by amending
Section 51.70, "Regular Charges Levie~', to provide for a rate
change for all of those customers receiving commercial cart service.
Pursuant to the attached memorandum from the Finance Director, it
came to the City's attention that commercial rollout cart customers
were being charged a much greater amount than their residential
counterparts. This was brought to BFI's attention and BFI has
offered to lower the commercial rollout cart rates from $29.58 per
month to $24.95 per month. BFI has also agreed to reduce the cost
for additional pickups from $25.48 per month to $19.50 per month.
This change in rates requires a change to the code as proposed via
Ordinance No. 18-99. As an ancillary item, an amendment to the
contract with BFI has also been prepared and is presented for
consideration in conjunction with second reading of the ordinance.
At first reading on June 1, 1999, the Commission passed the
ordinance by unanimous vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 18-99 on second and final
reading, as well as Amendment No. 7 to the Solid Waste and Recycling
Collection Franchise Agreement with BFI.

From: Joseph M. Saff~ce Director
Date: May 14, 1999
Subject: Reduction in BFI Rates for Commercial Cart Service
We are requesting that Ordinance No. 33-98 be amended to reduce the rates for garbage and trash
collection services for customers using commercial carts. The original ordinance with a revised
rate sheet is attached for your review.
On February 9, 1999 we received a call from a citizen regarding the rates for commercial carts.
This citizen had been recently converted from a residential customer to a commercial customer.
As a residential customer his monthly rate was $7.74 per month for two times per week garbage,
trash, and recycling service. If you add disposal charges, that are charged by the Solid Waste
Authority and paid for on a residential tax bill, the total residential cost would be $16.91. As a
commercial customer, his rate became $29.58 per month for one time per week services.
On March 11, 1999 we sent correspondence to BFI and asked them to review this rate structure
and consider reducing the commercial cart service fees.
On April 5, 1999 BFI provided correspondence recommending that the commercial cart service
be reduced from $29.58 per month to $24.95 per month. In addition, they recommended that the
customer rate be increased $19.50 for each additional weekly pickup requirement instead of
$25.48 minimum increase. This overall reduction means that a one time per week service would
have rates reduced approximately 15% and a minimum of 20% for additional pickups.
By copy of this memorandum, we are asking the City Clerk to provide the appropriate ordinance
advertising and present this item to the City Commission for first reading once this requirement is
met.

contract amendment shall be prepared and presented to the Commission on second
reading providing for the change in rates.
