SUBJECT: Proposition 218: Protest Hearing for Proposed Solid Waste Rate Increase

RECOMMENDATIONS:

A. Conduct a public hearing to accept both written and verbal protests against the increased solid waste fees and proposed future CPI and disposal fee increase notification process, track the number of protests and, i f the number of written protests received is not sufficient to constitute a majority (defined as 50 percent of affected customers plus one), make a finding that there is not a majority protest by property owners within the assessment area.

B. Approve Resolution No. 22-__ entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California, Increasing Solid Waste Maximum Rates.”

BACKGROUND:

On April 5, 2011, the City of Goleta approved Franchise Agreement 2011 -023 (Agreement) with MarBorg Industries (MarBorg) to provide city -wide residential and commercial solid waste collection s ervices, effective from July 1, 2011 until June 30, 2019. On August 15, 2017 , the City Council approved a two-year extension, until June 30, 2021, requested by MarBorg under an option to extend.

On September 5, 2017, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Franchise Agreement between the City and MarBorg Industries to reflect an adjustment to F iscal Year (FY) 2017/18 Solid Waste Collection Rates. On July 17 , 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to, among other things, enhance collection services, reduce solid waste collection rates, and extend the franchise term by 10 years, through June 30, 2031. On June 1, 2021 , the City Council approve d Amendment No. 3 which increased the environmental services progra m fee by 4% and also included a rate increase for MarBorg under the terms of the Franchise Agreement. The overall rate increase was for

5.91%. The increase became effective on July 1, 2021.

The process for the Proposition 218 Hearing is summarized below:

1. Mail out a public notice to property owners (Attachment 1) 45 days in advance of the public hearing that includes:
a) A description of the reasons for the cost increase
b) The proposed rate increases
c) The Public Hearing date and time

The notice is to be mailed to all affected parties, i.e., property owners.

2. The Proposition 218 Hearing is held in accordance with the California Constitution Article XIIID. City Council shall consider all written and oral comments received.

Oral comments are not consider ed formal protest unless accompanied with a written protest. Only one objection is permitted per person billed. An objection must include: the property owner/customer information; the associated parcel; and the name and signature of the customer submitti ng a protest. Due to the COVID- 19 issues, the City is also accepting written protests via e -mail to [email protected].

3. If protests against the rate increase are not received from a majority of the property owners or customers on record (50 percent plus one of affected customers), then the City Council is authorized to impose the rate changes as adopted by resolution.

4. Once the resolution is adopted , a notice will be mailed to all affected parties that the rate increase will be effective in 30 days.

The Franchise Agreement includes a provision for annual adjustments to the solid waste collection rates charged to residential and commercial subscribers by setting a not -to- exceed cap on the rates, called the “Maximum Rate.” MarBorg may set annual collection rates at, or below, the Maximum Rate established in the Agreement. In accordance with Section 12.2 , Adjustment of Rates , MarBorg must submit a formal request for rate increase and supporting documentation sixty (60) days prior to the adjustment of the Maximum Rates. Any approved rate increase is to be effective on July 1.

The Agreement allows collection costs to be adjusted to reflect inflationary increases, based upon the Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim Consumer Price Index (CPI) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The disposal cost category may be adjusted to reflect changes in the fee charged by the County of Santa Barbara to accept refuse at the Tajiguas Landfill (the “tipping fee”).

DISCUSSION:

FY 2022/23 Solid Waste Collection Rates

On March 18, 202 2, Public Works staff received a request for a rate increase from MarBorg Industries (MarBorg) (Attachment 2). Additionally, City staff is requesting a change to the notification process regarding potential annual CPI or disposal fee 2 Meeting Date: May 17, 2022

Page 3 of 6 ends

increases to significantly reduce costs and staff time . The rate increase details and proposed future notification process are discussed below:

1) As defined by the Franchise Agreement, the rates are categorized into a service component and a disposal component. The service component is adjusted based on the change in the CPI and the disposal component is adjusted based on actual tipping fee costs imposed by the County of Santa Barbara. In accordance with the franchise agreement, the service component equates to 60.5% of the rate and the disposal component equates to 39.5% of the rate.
2) Public Works st aff has reviewed and verified that t he CPI presented by MarBorg when calculated using a February 20 20 – February 2021 change is 7.40%. That

7.4% is then multiplied by the service component percentage and the total acceptable CPI increase to the rate is 4.48% (7.4% X 60.5% = 4.48%). 3) Public Works staff reviewed the tipping fee increase request which includes the following:
o Santa Barbara County Trash and Recycling fee increase from $1 64.00/ton to $170.00/ton
o Santa Barbara County Green Waste fee increase from $4 9.00/ton to $51.00/ton
Note that both tipping fee increases are associat ed with the Tajiguas ReSource Center. The new processing facility now recovers recyclables and organics from the trash waste streams to prevent them from being landfilled. Additionally, food waste will be rec overed and sent to an anaerobic digester where it will be turned into usable compost. The facility will increase the area’s recycling rates upwards of 85%, generate green energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and allow the City to comply with regulatory requirements. The facility is now fully operational.

Public Works staff has reviewed and verified that the disposal component increase is 3.68%. That 3.68% is then multiplied by the disposal component percentage and the total acceptable increase to the disposal component rate is 1.45% (3.68% X

39.5% = 1.45%).

4) The overall rate increase is 5.93% (4.48% CPI + 1.45% tipping fee).

5) In order to save roughly $20,000/year and many hours of staff and City Council time, in lieu of annual Prop 218 noticing for CPI and disposal fee increases for the next five years, City staff recommend the following process: In addition to the rate increases provided above, beginning on July 1, 2023, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including J uly 1, 202 8, the rates for the solid waste service fees identified above may be adjusted annually to account for CPI and disposal fee costs, pursuant to the franchise agreement terms, not to exceed 10% per year, without a Prop 218 protest hearing and in no event shall such an increase cause the solid waste service fees to exceed the cost of providing service. This does not mean such increases will occur, and City staff will continue to review all increase 3 Meeting Date: May 17, 2022

requests for accuracy and compliance with the franch ise agreement. The City would mail written notice to each affected property owner at least 30 days in advance of such an adjustment. If tipping fees and/or CPI would require greater than a 10% increase in any given year, or if additional fees are warranted for any other reason, a protest hearing will be conducted in compliance with Proposition 218.

With regard to rates for the fiscal year 2022/23, ff the City Council approves the rate increase by Resolution (Attachment 3), the approved rates will be effective July 1, 2022.

The impact to residential and commercial rate payers is shown in the following table of select residential and commercial rates. The full rate schedule is included in Attachment

Contract Compliance: As part of processing a rate increase request and in accordance with Section 4.5.1 Satisfactory Performance, Public Works staff has verified MarBorg’s compliance with the conditions of the franchise agreement. Below is a summary of critical areas Public Works staff has reviewed.

o Diversion compliance: In accordance with the franchise agreement Amendment 2, MarBorg is required to maintain a minimum combined commercial and residential diversion of 41.5%. The diversion is indicated below, and MarBorg is in compliance with the agreement:

Total 23,509.76 18,910.3 42,390.06 43.24%

o Customer Satisfaction: On a monthly basis MarBorg provides the City with a list of complaints received and their resolution. Most complaints are relative to missed pick up, carts placed out late or extra material placed out for collection. There are no longstanding unresolved issues that need addressing.

o Timely Payment of fees : MarBorg pays all fees to the City on time and in accordance with the Franchise Agreement.

o Competitive Rate Guarantee: Public Works staff has reviewed the existing rates of the County of Santa Barbara and the proposed rates of the City of Santa Barbara. While the actual service level and days of service vary between agencies, the City of Goleta rates are equal to or lower than the surrounding area.

This is in accordance with Section 12.3 of the Franchise Agreement, Competitive Rate Guarantee.

o Special Collections: MarBorg provides special collection services (Bulky Items, Batteries, E-Waste and White Goods) at no additional expense. Each residential property is entitled to two (2) on -call services per fiscal year. These collections include bulky item collections . Bulky items include furniture, white goods, green waste, electronic-waste, fluorescent bulbs, household batteries and clothing. Note that electronic-waste and white goods are in an unlimited quantity.

o Sharps and Goleta Buyback Center: MarBorg continues to provide a mail back program for sharps and access , at no additional cost, to the Goleta Buyback Center. This center accepts antifreeze, batteries, oil, paint, fluorescent bulbs, compact disks, cell phone, computers, televisions, and other electronic waste.

o Participation in local events and Community Clean ups: Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, participation has been minimal, but MarBorg continues to proactively participate in local clean up events as requested by the city.

Through this contract review process, it is apparent that MarBorg’s dedication to the City of Goleta has proven a good partnership with the City. Public Works staff has concluded that the contractor, MarBorg Industries, is in compliance with the Franchise Agreement and has faithfully submitted the request for the rate increase. Therefore , Public Works staff through the writing of this report supports the findings to recommend the requested rate increase pending the receipt of any letters of concern from the public.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The combined cost of the mailing for the public hearing notice and the 30-day notice prior to implementation is approximately $20,000.00 and will be covered by available fund balance in the Solid Waste Fund, Fund 211 in current Fiscal Year 2021/22. The overall increase to the MarBorg customers/rate payers will be 5.93%, with specific rates provided in Attachment 4.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council may elect to not approve the rate increase at this time. In doing so, the existing rates will remain in place. At that time MarBorg may, in accordance with Section 19.1.3 Notice of Appeal , file a notice of appeal citing its factual contentions and provide all associated back-up documentation. Within 30 days of receipt of the appeal the City Manager shall decide on the matter, per agreement.

Council may also elect not to approve the proposed process for potential annual CPI and disposal fee increases, instead requiring annual Prop 218 noticing. The Prop 218 noticing requires a significant amount of staff time during a period when there are man y other demands on the two staff members within this division; therefore, staff may be challenged to meet all obligations. The annual cost of noticing is roughly $20,000 per year, equating to roughly $100,000 over the 5-year period.

Notice of Public Hearing to Consider a Proposed Increase in Rates for Solid Waste Collection

7 ATTENTION: The City Council of the City of Goleta (“City”) will conduct a public hearing on May 17, 2022 at 5:30p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City of Goleta City Hall Council Chambers, located at 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta, and via the Zoom platform, to consider adopting increases and adjustments in the City’s current rates for solid waste collection provided by Marborg Industries (“Solid Waste Collection Rate(s)” or “Rate(s)”). Individuals may participate in person at City Hall or via Zoom. The Zoom link will be available on the agenda for the May 17, 2022, City Council meeting, which will be posted in advance of that meeting at: https://cityofgoleta.org/goletameetings. The public may also view the meeting on Goleta Channel 19 and/or online at https://cityofgoleta.org/ goletameetings.

PROPOSED RATE CHANGES
You are receiving this Notice because our records indicate that you are either a City of Goleta property owner or tenant directly liable for payment of the fees for solid waste collection (i.e., a customer of record) .The Notice describes the Solid Waste Collection Rate changes in services you receive from Marborg Industries (“Marborg”) and explains how you can file a protest to this proposed Solid Waste Collection Rate increase and participate in the Proposition 218 process.

All current Solid Waste Collection Rates include a service component, disposal component , City franchise fee, and solid waste and environmental services program fee. The City’s Franchise Agreement with Marborg allows the Solid Waste Collection Rates to be adjusted on an annual basis to reflect increases in (i) the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and (ii) the per ton tipping fees imposed on Marborg by the County of Santa Barbara or any other public agency for disposal and/or processing of solid waste at the ReSource Center at the Tajiguas Landfill (or otherwise, if necessary), which are passed through to customers (“ Pass-Through Tipping Fees”). The proposed Rate schedule commencing July 1, 2022, includes a total increase for all sectors by 5.93% due to CPI (4.47%) and increased Pass-Through Tipping Fees (1.45%). Each July 1 thereafter, through and including July 1, 2028, the Solid Waste Collection Rates may be increased annually, from the prior fiscal year, to account for CPI or Pass-Through Tipping Fees required under the hauler franchise agreement not to exceed, when added together, 10% per any single fiscal year, without another protest hearing in compliance with Proposition 218; provided that in no event may a Pass-Through Tipping Fee exceed the City’s cost of providing solid waste services .

This notification does not mean that such increases will occur. In the event adjustments to Solid Waste Collection Rates are necessary in future fiscal years as a result of increases to CPI or Pass -Through Tipping Fees, in accordance with this Notice, the City shall mail, or cause to be mailed, written notice to each affected customer of record at least 30 days in advance of such increase to the Rates that shall specify the amount of the increase, which in no event may exceed 10% in any given year. These proposed increases are explained below.

Service Component Cost (CPI) Increase:

The annual adjustment for CPI is authorized pursuant to Government Code Section 53756 and is applied to Mar Borg’s service-related costs only. Service costs include but are not limited to salaries, purchase and maintenance of all equipment, fuel, insurance, administrative, and overhead costs. The CPI adjustment is based on the February-to-February changes in the Consumer Price Index, as prepared and published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (all Urban Consumers, Los Angeles). When calculated in accordance with the Franchise Agreement, the CPI increase is 4.47%.

Disposal Component Cost Increase:

The County of Santa Barbara’s construction of the ReSource Center at the Tajiguas Landfill is complete. The ReSource Center is a new facility that will benefit our community by increasing our recycling rate to above 85%, generating resources such as green energy and compost, and dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions . For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the County of Santa Barbara has increased the fee for the processing of trash and recycling (i.e., tipping fees) from $164 per ton to $170 per ton and the fee for green waste processing is increasing from $49 per ton to $51 per ton . These cost increases account for 1.45% increase in the disposal component via the Pass-Through Tipping Fees.

Proposed Rate Structure
The above increases for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 are shown in further detail in the following table and are representative of residential and commercial collection Rates. If approved, these increased Rates will be effective on July 1, 2022.

IF YOU DO NOT OBJECT TO THE ADJUSTMENTS, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED.

The City Council will hear and consider all written protests to the proposed rate changes at the Public Hearing. Oral and written public comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written and signed protest. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will consider adoption of a resolution authorizing an amendment to the City’s Franchise Agreement with Marborg that would allow for the specified Solid Waste Collection Rate changes for Fiscal Year 2022-23, and to further allow for Fiscal Years 2023 through 2028, CPI and Pass-Through Tipping Fee increases to the Solid Waste Collection Rate, as described herein. If written protests against the proposed Rate changes are not received by a majority of property owners or tenants upon which the Solid Waste Collection Rates are imposed (i.e., customers of record) in the City limits, then the City Council will be authorized to impose the R ate changes.

If approved, the proposed rate changes will be in effect on July 1, 2022. A separate notice reflecting the approved Rate increases will be sent to all customers.

This protest hearing is being conducted in accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution and Proposition 218.

Please note that a rate protest proceeding is not an election. To ensure transparency and accountability in the rate protest tabulation, protests shall constitute a disclosable public record from and after the time they are received.

For further details regarding the basis and reasons for the proposed rate changes to the City’s Solid Waste Collection Rates or any questions you may have regarding the proposed fees to be imposed on your parcel, please contact the Public Works Department at (805) 961-7575.
9 ATENCIÓN: El Concejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Goleta ("Ciudad") llevará a cabo una audiencia pública el 17 de mayo de 2022 a las 5:30 p.m., o tan pronto como se escuche el asunto, en el Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Goleta, ubicado en 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta, y a través de la plataforma Zoom, para considerar la adopción de aumentos y ajustes en las tarifas actuales de la Ciudad para la recolección de desechos sólidos proporcionados por Marborg Industries ("Tasa(s) de recolección de desechos sólidos" o "Tasa(s) )”). Las gente puede participar en persona en el Ayuntamiento o a través de Zoom. El enlace de Zoom estará disponible en la agenda de la reunión del Concejo Municipal del 17 de mayo de 2022, que se publicará antes de esa reunión en:
https://cityofgoleta.org/goletameetings. El público también puede ver la reunión en Goleta Channel 19 y/o en línea en https://cityofgoleta.org/goletameetings.

CAMBIOS DE TARIFA PROPUESTOS
Está recibiendo este Aviso porque nuestros records indican que usted es propietario o inquilino de una propiedad de la Ciudad de Goleta directamente responsable del pago de las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos (es decir, un cliente registrado).

El Aviso describe los cambios en la Tarifa de recolección de desechos sólidos en los servicios que recibe de Marborg Industri es ("Marborg") y explica cómo puede presentar una protesta a este aumento propuesto en la tasa de recolección de desechos sólidos y participar en el proceso de la Proposición 218.

Todas las Tarifas de Recolección de Desechos Sólidos actuales incluyen un componente de servicio, un componente de eliminación, una tarifa de franquicia de la Ciudad y una tarifa del programa de servicios ambientales y de residuos sólidos. El Acuerdo de franquicia de la ciudad con Marborg permite que las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos se ajusten anualmente para reflejar los aumentos en (i) el índice de precios al consumidor ("CPI") y (ii) las tarifas por tonelada impuestas en Marborg por el condado de Santa Bárbara o cualquier otra agencia pública para la disposición y/o procesamiento de desechos sólidos en el Centro ReSource en el Relleno Sanitario de Tajiguas (o de otra manera, si es necesario), que se traspasan a los clientes (“Transferencia de tarifas por propinas”). El cronograma de tarifas propuesto a partir del 1 de julio de 2022 incluye un aumento total para todos los sectores de 5.93 % debido al IPC (4.47%) y mayores tarifas de transferencia de propinas (1.45%). Cada 1 de julio a partir de entonces, hasta y incluyendo el 1 de julio de 2028, las Tarifas de Recolección de Desechos Sólidos pueden incrementarse anualmente, desde el año fiscal anterior, para tener en cuenta el CPI o las Tarifas de transferencia de vertido requeridas según el acuerdo de franquicia del transportista para no exceder, cuando sumados, 10% por cada año fiscal individual, sin otra audiencia de protesta en cumplimiento con la Proposición 218; disponiéndose que en ningún caso una Cuota de Transferencia de Propinas puede exceder el costo de la Ciudad de proporcionar servicios de desechos sólidos.

Esta notificación no significa que tales aumentos ocurrirán. En caso de que sea necesario realizar ajustes en las Tarifas de Recolección de Desechos Sólidos en años fiscales futuros como resultado de aumentos en el CPI o en las Tarifas de Traspaso de Basura, de acuerdo con este Aviso, la Ciudad enviará por correo, o hará que se envíe por correo, un aviso por escrito a cada cliente afectado registrado al menos 30 días antes de dicho aumento a las Tarifas que especificará el monto del aumento, que en ningún caso podrá exceder el 10% en un año determinado. Estos aumentos propuestos se explican a continuación.

Aumento del costo del componente de servicio:

El ajuste anual por CPI está autorizado de conformidad con la Sección 53756 del Código de Gobierno y se aplica únicamente a los costos relacionados con el servicio de MarBorg. Los costos de servicio incluyen, entre otros, salarios, compra y mantenimiento de equipaje, combustible, aseguranza, costos administrativos y generales. El ajuste CPI se basa en los cambios de febrero a febrero en el índice de precios al consumidor, según lo preparado y publicado por la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de EE.UU. (todos los consumidores urbanos, Los Ángeles). Cuando se calcula de acuerdo con el Contrato de Franquicia, el aumento del CPI es 4.47%.

Aumento del costo del componente de eliminación:

La construcción del Centro ReSource del condado de Santa Bárbara en el relleno sanitario de Tajiguas está completa. El Centro ReSource es una nueva instalación que beneficiará a nuestra comunidad al aumentar nuestra tasa de reciclaje por encima del 85%, generará recursos como energía verde y compost, y reducirá drásticamente las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.

Para el año fiscal 2022-2023, el condado de Santa Bárbara aumentó la tarifa por el procesamiento de basura y reciclaje (es decir, las tarifas por vertido) de $164 por tonelada a $170 por tonelada y la tarifa por el procesamiento de desechos verdes aumenta de $49 por tonelada a $51 por tonelada. Estos aumentos de costos representan un aumento del 1.45% en el componente de eliminación a través de la transferencia de tarifas vertido.

Estructura de la tarifa propuesta
Los aumentos descritos para el año fiscal 2022-2023 se muestran con más detalle en la siguiente tabla y son representativos de las Tarifas de cobro residencial y comercial. Si se aprueba, estas tarifas aumentadas entrarán en efecto el 1 de julio de 2022.

Se notificará a los clientes con al menos 30 días de anticipación sobre futuros aumentos en las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos (para los años fiscales 2023 a 2028), que no excederán un aumento del 10 % de las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos del año fiscal anterior, y solo para fines del CPI y tarifas de transferencia de vertido que se requieren según el acuerdo de franquicia del transportista, sin otra audiencia de protesta

COMO PUEDO PROTESTAR
Si desea protestar cualquiera de los aumentos anteriores, debe presentar una protesta por escrito, firmada y por escrito , incluyendo su nombre y dirección de servicio o número de parcela del tasador al Secretario Municipal de la Ciudad de Goleta en 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta, CA 93117 o por correo electrónico a [email protected] , siempre que se reciban las protestas por escrito antes del cierre de la Audiencia Pública, que ocurrirá cuando concluya el testimonio público sobre los aumentos y ajustes propuestos. Cualquier protesta por escrito debe: (1) indicar que el propietario o inquilino de la propiedad identificado (es decir, el cliente registrado) se opone a los aumentos de tarifas propuestos para las Tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos; (2) proporcion ar la ubicación de la parcela identificada (por dirección postal o número de parcela del tasador); y (3) incluir el nombre y la firma del propietario o inquilino de la propiedad que presenta la protesta. En el sobre, por favor escriba: Atención: Audiencia pública sobre cambios en las tarifas de desechos sólidos. Para una protesta enviada por correo electrónico, incluya en la línea de asunto: Audiencia Pública de Cambios en la Tarifa de Desechos Sólidos. Cualquier propietario o inquilino (es decir, un cliente en el registro) que sea directamente responsable del pago de las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos puede presentar una carta de protesta. Solo se contará una protesta por dirección/parcela identificada.

SI NO SE OBJETA A LOS AJUSTES, NO SE REQUIERE ACCIÓN
El Concejo Municipal escuchará y considerará todas las protestas por escrito a los cambios de tarifa propuestos en la Audiencia Pública.

Los comentarios públicos orales y escritos en la Audiencia Pública no calificarán como protestas formales a menos que v ayan acompañados de una protesta escrita y firmada. Al concluir la Audiencia Pública, el Concejo Municipal considerará la adopción de una resolución que autorice una enmienda al Acuerdo de Franquicia de la Ciudad con Marborg que permitiría los cambios espe cificados en la Tasa de Recolección de Desechos Sólidos para el Año Fiscal 2022-23, y permitiría aún más en los años fiscales 2023 a 2028, el CPI y la tarifa de transferencia de vertido aumentan a la tasa de recolección de desechos sólidos, como se describe en este documento. Si la mayoría de los propietarios o inquilinos a los que se les imponen las Tarifas de Recolección de Desechos Sólidos (es decir , clientes registrados) en los límites de la Ciudad, no reciben protestas por escrito contra los cambios de Tarifa propuestos, entonces el Concejo Municipal estará autorizado a imponer l os cambios de tarifa. Si se aprueban, los cambios de tarifas propuestos entrarán en efecto el 1 de julio de 2022. Se enviará a todos los clientes un aviso por separado que refleje los aumentos de tarifas aprobados.

Esta audiencia de protesta se lleva a cabo de conformidad con el Artículo XIIID de la Constitución de California y la Proposición 218. Tenga en cuenta que un procedimiento de protesta de tarifas no es una elección. Para garantizar la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en la tabulación de las protestas de tarifas, las protestas constituirán un registro público divulgable a partir del momento en que se reciban.

Para obtener más detalles sobre la base y los motivos de los cambios propuestos en las tarifas de recolección de desechos sólidos de la ciudad o cualquier pregunta que pueda tener sobre las tarifas propuestas que se impondrán a su parcela, comuníquese con el Departamento de Obras Públicas al (805) 961-7575
.

MarBorg Rate Increase Package

Goleta, CA 93117

Ms. Nilsson,
As outlined in MarBorg’s contract with the City of Goleta, Article 12, Section 12.2, rates shall be adjusted each July 1. The method of determining this rate adjustment is defined by Amendment 1, approved September 5, 2017. Section 12.2.1 of this amendment states that the Contra ctor’s Recurring Rate Revenue shall be organized into a Service Component and Material Tipping Fee Component. The Service Component shall be adjusted based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Material Tipping Fee Component shall be adjus ted to reimburse the Contract for its actual Material Tipping Fee Cost.

Based on the monthly billing from July 2021 through February 2022, and the actual material tipping fees, the weighting of the above components is as follows:

Component Weight Current Rate
Revenue
Service 60.5% $6,159,962
Disposal 39.5% $4,026,523
Total 100% $10,186,486

The change in CPI from February 2021 to February 2022 is 7.4%, as determined by the U.S.

Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.1 This value was determined for the Los Angeles ‐ Long Beach ‐ Anaheim, CA local area. The relevant page from the BLS report is attached. An increase of 7.4% of the Service Component results in an additional $455,837 in annual revenue.

On July 1st, 2022, we also expect the County of Santa Barbara to raise the tipping fee for trash, recycling, and foodwaste from $164 to $170/ton, and the greenwaste tipping fee from $49 to $51/ton.

During the twelve months from March 2021 to February 2022, MarBorg collected 27,089 tons of trash, recycling, foodwaste, and organics from G oleta. We have estimated that the same volume and type of material will be collected in the 2022/2023 year. This will amount to $148,062 in increased tipping fees over the course of the year, a 3.68% increase over the current tip fees.

Disposal $   148,062 39.5%   3.68%   1.45%
Total $   603,899 100%   5.93%

An increase of 7.40% on 60.5% of the revenue is 4.47% (.074 x .605 = .0447).

An increase of 3.68% on 39.5% of the revenue is 1.45% (.0368x .395 = .0145).

The total increase in revenue needed from the current fiscal year to the next fiscal year is $603,899, which includes the increas es in projected material tip fees and the CPI increase applied to the service component of the rates.

Additionally, MarBorg has expanded the rate sheet to include food waste and green waste bins and now available to multi‐family and commercial customers. Food waste will be available in 35 gallon and 65 gallon cart
s and in 2 cubic yard bins, at prices equal to the equivalent size of trash container. Green waste carts were previously available, and green waste service will also now be available in 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 cubic yard bins. Green waste bins will be priced at 75% of the rat e of the equivalent trash container, which is how green waste carts have been priced.

Based on these calculations, we propose the attached rates for the 2022/2023 year. All rates have been increased by 5.93% over the current rates, and new food waste and green waste rates have been added as described ab
ove.

Sincerely,

Derek Carlson

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLETA, AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1.

On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed protest hearing with respect to the solid waste collection maximum rates. All affected property owners were given notice of the hearing on April 1, 2022, and given an opportunity to protest . The City received written protests for __properties prior to the protest hearing and an additional __ written protests were received at the public hearing . A total of __ written protests were received before the close of the hearing.

For purposes of determining whether a majority protest exists for each type of parcel, the protests were also tabulated for commercial, condominium, multi-family residential and single-family residential. The number of written protests received was not sufficient to constitute a majority protest. The City Clerk has certified the tabulation of written protests.

SECTION 2.

Pursuant to the franchise agreement terms, t he solid waste collection maximum rates are in part based on inflation as measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI), and per ton tipping fees imposed by the County of Santa Barbara or other jurisdictions for disposal and/or processing of solid waste at the ReSource Center at the Tajiguas Landfill (or otherwise, if necessary), which are passed through to customers (disposal fees). Additionally, Section 53756 of the California Government Code authorizes the City to adopt a schedule of fees or charges authorizing automatic adjustments for inflation provided that the City Council adopts such schedule of fees or charges for a period not to exceed fi ve years. The City Council hereby accepts the City Clerk’s certification of the results of the protest hearing and adopts the increase in solid waste collection fees for CPI and disposal fees, as follows:

a) Beginning July 1 , 20 22 and through June 30, 202 3, the Service Component of the Maximum Rates shall be increased 4.47% percent, which reflects the change in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County CPI, from February 20 20 to February 20 21, as published by the U.S.

Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the event adjustments to Solid Waste Collection Rates are necessary in future fiscal years as a result of increases to CPI or pass-through disposal fees , in accordance with this Resolution, the City shall mail, or cause to be mailed, written notice to each affected customer of record at least 30 days in advance of such increase to the Rates that shall specify the amount of the increase, which in no event may exceed 10% in any given year. If tipping fees or CPI would require greater than a 10% increase i n any given year between July 2023 and July 2028 , a protest hearing will be conducted in compliance with Proposition 218.
