BACKGROUND The current solid waste contract with Waste Management requires that the number of household stops be adjusted in January and July of each year to account for the number of new housing units constructed in the City over the previous six months. We have documented that the number of household stops listed in the contract with Waste Management (WM) should be increased by 21 to account for the number of new single-family housing units constructed within the City limits from January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002 . The contract number of single-family housing stops should now be increased from 20,236 to 20, 257 . This number will remain in effect for the remainder of the contract term. (September 30, 2002) Another adjustment to be made to the contract is the number of new units from multi-family developments that are currently under construction. Multi-family developments receive garbage and recycling service via curbside collection, or through permanent dumpsters/carts, depending on the type of housing structure. Yard waste services are not provided. rSolid Waste Contract Payments August 9, 2002 Page 2 Per our contract, multi-unit developments receiving curbside service are paid at 75 percent (75%) of the regular contract rate. Developments receiving dumpster/cart service are billed for recycling based on the number of housing units, and for trash based on volume.
