SUBJECT: Solid Waste Contract Payments to Waste
Management, Inc. for Number of Household Stops
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information to consider the approval of
the number of household stops for which the City makes payment
pursuant to the subject contract with Waste Management .
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 62 to
account for the number of new single-family housing units
constructed on public streets from January 1, 2000 through June
30, 2000 .
Therefore, the contract number of single-family housing stops
should be increased from 20, 464 to 20, 526. This number will
remain in effect for the next six months (July 1, 2000 through
December 31, 2000) .
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. Per our contract, multi-unit
developments receiving curbside service are paid at 75% of the
regular contract rate. Developments receiving dumpster/cart
service are billed for recycling based on the number of housing
units ($1 . 77/unit/month) , and for trash based on volume
($4 . 35/yard) .

for a curbside multi-family "stop" is $7 . 78/month.

RECOMMENDATION

contract with Waste Management by 62, for total of 20, 526, which
will remain in effect for the next six months (July 1, 2000
through December 31, 2000) . Furthermore, payment should be
authorized for 82 additional multi-family units (for a total of
3, 042) for the next six months .
