Contract Amendment #6
Yardwaste and Grass Clippings
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
amending the rates for yardwaste and grass clippings under
the existing contract with Waste Management-West (WMW) .
BACKGROUND
The City and WMW entered into a solid waste collection con-
tract on February 14, 1990. Contract Amendment #3 dated
March 31, 1993 (copy attached) extended the overall contract
to December 31 . 1998 .
There also was a provision in Amendment #3 (Item #9) to re-
evaluate grass sticker charges and curbside yardwaste collec-
tion costs in 1995 . However, the City and WMW mutually
agreed last year to continue with the original rates through
1995.
Residents have paid a fee of $1 .00 per sticker for grass
clipping disposal since 1992. This fee was implemented in an
effort to discourage the bagging of grass. It had been esti-
mated the volume of grass dropped by 50% with the implementa-
tion of the grass sticker requirement. The average has been
61,400 stickers sold per year over a four-year period
( '92- '95) . Last year, 65,500 stickers were purchased.
The City has been paying the same curbside rate of
790/stop/month since the inception of the yardwaste collec-
e" tion program in 1990. The City agreed to evaluate these
charges per Contract Amendment #3. The adjusted rates are
required to accommodate increased costs for the disposal of
yardwaste materials. WMW responded with their proposal dated
February 12, 1996 (copy attached) . Three options were of-
fered as follows:
Solid Waste Collection Services
April 17, 1996
Page 2
A) Retain the existing yardwaste curbside rate ($0.79 per
stop) and increase the grass clippings sticker fee.
B) Retain the existing grass clippings sticker fee ($1 . 00
per bag) and increase the yardwaste curbside rate.
C) Delete the existing yardwaste curbside rate ($0.79 per
stop) and institute a sticker fee system for yardwastes
and grass clippings .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Option A would result in no increased cost to the City.
Option B would result in a 1996 increase of approximately
$4,750 ( 19,792 stops/avg. @ 3¢ each for 8 months) . Option C
results in a $125,085 decrease in City expenditures for 1996 .
The additional cost for Option B would be charged to Public
Works Refuse Services, Account No. 010-3331-754 . 33-02, Dispos-
al, where adequate funds exist.
LEGAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
The following rates escalate at the same approximate infla-
tion percentage already established for garbage and recycling
charges through the term of the contract (December 31,
1998) . The proposed alternative rates are as follows:
Alternative 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998
(A) Keep monthly rate firm, increase sticker price:
Yard Debris Service 0.79 0.79 0.79 0.79 0.79 0.79
Grass Clipping Sticker 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.06 1.08 1.11

(B) Increase monthly rate, keep sticker cost firm:

(price per unit) .

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manag-
er and City Clerk to execute Contract Amendment #6 which
amends the charges for curbside yardwaste collection for the
next three years through the term of the contract (December
31, 1998) per Alternative B above. Alternative B does not in-
crease the sticker price for Elgin residents.

RE: Lawn Debris Services
Gary:
Per our discussion, a plan for collection of yardwaste for the City has been reviewed with
recommendations outlined below.
Grass clippings and loose yard debris have been banned from Illinois landfills since July of 1990. Since '
that time, Waste Management has worked closely with the communities we service to develop
alternatives for the disposal of these materials.
4
in the Spring of 1990,the Elgin City Council approved a three year contract with Elgin Wayne/Waste
Management-West for the collection of yard debris. In March of 1993, the City prepared Contract
Amendment #3 to extend the terms of the yardwaste collection contract until November 30, 1994.
The cost for yardwaste collection in subsequent years will be determined by an additional contract
extension providing mutually agreeable terms for the services provided.
The yardwaste collection program consists of two parts. The City opted to provide services to all
City residents during the 8-month yardwaste season at a cost of$.79 per month per stop. This
monthly fee provides a weekly pickup of brush, twigs, and leaves at no cost to the resident. Waste
Management-West has provided this service at the same rate since the inception of the program in
1990. The second phase of the program provides weekly collection of grass clippings for those
residents that choose to bag their grass. Since 1992, Elgin residents have paid a fee of$1.00 per
sticker to dispose of grass clippings only.
In order to keep up with increased costs to dispose of this material, we request consideration of the
City to determine the preferred yardwaste program with related fees.
Options are as follows:
A) Should the City choose to continue the program as it is, Waste Management-West would
continue to hold the monthly rate of$.79 per stop firm through the remainder of the contract.
This would guarantee there would be no additional cost to the City. For residents that do not
wish to manage their grass clippings on their own, the sticker price would be $1.06 per bag.

cn AnyClec P,ur•
p' B) If the City would like the cost to the resident to remain the same at $1.00 per sticker, the
monthly fee would increase to $.82 per month per stop.
C) Some communities have gone to a user-pay system whereby the entire cost of the yardwaste
and grass clipping services is incorporated into one sticker price. This option would eliminate
any cost to the City entirely and the sticker cost to residents would increase to $1.54 per bag
or bundle.
We propose that the contract for yardwaste services be extended to coincide with the expiration of
the solid waste and recycling contracts. The annual rate would escalate at the same rate as the solid
waste and recycling contracts to allow for an inflationary increase only. A review of these rates is
attached. Implementation of the new yardwaste agreement would be accomplished in conjunction
with the City by notifying the residents and retail vendors of the date of the sticker price change. The
change would be effective April 1, 1996.
The above rate does not address fall leaf pickup which is handled under a separate program which
occurs over a six week period in the fall of each year in place of the grass and brush pick up.
Once again, thank you for your consideration of these issues. Feel free to contact me if you have
further questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss these issues further.
Sincerely,
Al Bilthouse _
