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 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 37 to
account for the number of new single-family housing units
constructed on public streets from January 1, 2001 through June 30,
2001 .
The 388 townhomes within the College Green subdivision had
previously been counted as single-family stops instead of multi-
family stops . Now that this has been corrected, the number of
current single-family household stops has been reduced from 20, 568
(as indicated in the February 1, 2001 City Council memo) to 20, 180 .
Based on this revision, the contract number of single-family
housing stops should now be increased from 20, 180 to 20, 217 . This
number will remain in effect for the next six months (July 1, 2001
through December 31, 2001) .
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 . 82/unit/month) , and for trash based on volume
($4 .48/yard) .
The following is a list of developments currently under
construction, along with the number of units :

the remainder of the year. The new cost for a curbside multi-

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an increase in
the number of single-family household "stops" covered in the
contract with Waste Management by 37, for a total of 20, 217 units,
which will remain in effect for the next six months (July 1, 2001
through December 31, 2001) . Furthermore, payment should be
authorized for 50 additional multi-family units (for a total of
3 , 566 units) over the next six months .
