RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
ADOPTING REVISED SCHEDULE OF FEES AND RATES FOR GARBAGE AND
RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE
WHEREAS, the City Council, under terms of its franchise agreement with Solid Wastes
Systems, Inc., must adjust garbage and recycling collection fees and charges using an automatic
annual rate adjustment based on a 75% change in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Statistics, Consumer Price Index, and
WHEREAS, the increase in the Consumer Price Index from March 1993 to March 1994 was
2.5%, resulting in a 1.9% increase in garbage rates, and
WHEREAS, the Refuse and Recycling Collection contract further stipulates that the City
shall add to the garbage rate any amounts necessary to fully compensate Solid Wastes Systems, Inc.,
for any increase in the gate fee charged to them for disposing of refuse at the City-owned landfill,
and
WHEREAS, on August 3, 1994, the City Council authorized an increase of the Ukiah Solid
Wastes Disposal Site gate fees to offset substantial increases in the cost of operation and maintenance
due to increased State and Federal mandates, increased set aside reserves fur closure and postclosure
maintenance and initiating pre-closure preparatory projects to alleviate additional excessive costs at
the time the landfill closes, equating to a 13.8% increase in rates, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, the City has been unable to collect the
increased tipping fee tbr the period August 6, 1994 through October 1, 1994, from Solid Wastes
Systems Inc., until the garbage rate adjustment is established to fully compensate them for the
increase in the gate tee, and
WHEREAS, the uncollected tipping fees in the amount of $46,986 need to be recovered to
meet landfill budgetary requirements, and
WHEREAS, 70% of all refuse from the City is generated by commercial customers and 30%

generated by residential customers, equating to 3.7% increase for commercial customers and a 2.8%
increase for residential customers in rates to cover the uncollected tipping fees from August 6, 1994
through October 1, 1994, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah has incurred increased costs as a result of improved recycling
and waste diversion programs. These costs alone require a 2.5% increase in rates, and
WHEREAS, additional expenses generated by State and Federal mandated regulations and
programs has forced the City Council to determine that the City's recycling and waste diversion
programs can no longer be subsidized by the City's Solid Wastes Disposal Site, and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has reviewed the proposed rates and made his
recommendation, and
WHEREAS, the City did duly notice a pulic hearing and make available the City Manager's
report and recommendation for public inspection, all in accordance with the requirements of the
Ukiah City Code, and did consider in a public hearing the proposed rates, the recommendation of
its City Manager and all public testimony at its regular meeting of December 21, 1994.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby:
1. Finds that an increase of rates is necessary to (a) offset rising costs of operation, Co)
offset new landfill tipping fees, and (c) offset the expense of the AB939 State mandated recycling
and waste diversion programs.
2. Adopts the rate structure set forth below and made a part of this resolution.
