STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Maritza Martinez, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing and approve a Six Percent Increase to the Gate Fee at the Coachella Valley Transfer Station for Fiscal Year 2022/23.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing and approve a six percent increase to the gate fee at the Coachella Valley Transfer Station for fiscal year 2022/23.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc., (Burrtec) operates the Coachella Valley Transfer Station through a Sublease Agreement with the Coachella Indio Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The Sublease Agreement provides annual adjustments to the components of the gate fee based on service cost increases equal to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and disposal cost increases.
CPI Increase
This year, the CPI change as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area was 10 percent; however, Burrtec is requesting an increase less than CPI at 6%.
Disposal Increase
Disposal costs charged by the Salton Landfill will increase from $32.71/ton to $34.67/ton effective July 1, 2022.
As noted above and shown in Attachment A, this year the CPI service cost increase is 6 percent and the disposal component charged by the Salton Landfill increase is also 6 percent. Taking both the CPI and disposal increases into account the total Gate Fee will increase from $64.98 to $68.82, an increase of $3.84 or 5.9 percent.
