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
em. 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 19 to
account for the number of new single-family housing units
constructed on public streets from July 1, 2001 through December
31, 2001 .
The contract number of single-family housing stops should now be
increased from 20, 217 to 20, 236 . This number will remain in effect
for the next six months (January 1, 2002 through June 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. 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, and for trash based on volume.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
A 1 .2% rate increase on all solid waste contractual services took
effect on January 1, 2002, bringing the rate per single-family
"stop" to $11 . 65/month during yard waste collection season (April -
Nov) , and $10 . 82/month for the remainder of the year. The rate for
a curbside multi-family "stop" is $8 . 10/month, which is 75% of the
single-family rate.
The new household stops will cost an additional $748 .28 per month
from January - March, or $2, 244 . 84 total . During the months that
yard waste is collected, April - June, the additional cost per
month is $764 . 05, or $2 , 292 . 15 total . These two additions total
