PREPARED BY: Dan Rowell, Project Manager
SUBJECT: 2026 – 2027 MarBorg Proposed Solid Waste Rate Increase RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 26-__, entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California, Increasing Solid Waste Maximum Rates.” BACKGROUND:
Franchise Agreement with MarBorg Industries
On April 5, 2011, the City of Goleta approved Franchise Agreement No. 2011 -023 with MarBorg Industries (MarBorg) to provide citywide residential and commercial solid waste collection services.
Annual Solid Waste Rate Adjustments
Following the Proposition 218 Protest Hearing held on May 17, 2022, the City Council authorized annual adjustments to solid waste service fees beginning July 1, 2023, and continuing each July 1 through 2028. These adjustments may account for inflation per the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and disposal (tipping) fee changes. Increases are subject to the following limits:
Rate adjustments must not exceed 10% in any given year. Any increase above 10% or for reasons other than CPI or tippin g fees requires a Proposition 218 protest hearing.
The proposed Fiscal Year 202 6/27 rate increase does not exceed 10% ; therefore, no hearing is required.
1 Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Franchise Agreement Rate Adjustment Process
The Franchise Agreement sets a “Maximum Rate” cap, which limits what MarBorg can charge residential and commercial customers. Each year, MarBorg may request a rate increase up to that cap.
Per Section 12.2 of the Agreement, MarBorg must submit a formal request and supporting documentation for any rate increase.
If approved, the new rates would take effect on July 1, 2026.
Two factors determine eligible rate adjustments:
1. Collection Costs: The Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim CPI from the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics can be adjusted based on inflation.
2. Disposal Costs: Can be adjusted based on changes in the tipping fee charged by the County of Santa Barbara at the Tajiguas Landfill.
DISCUSSION:
FY 2026/27 Solid Waste Collection Rates
On March 5, 2026, Public Works staff received a request from MarBorg Industries for a solid waste rate adjustment, as provided in Attachment 1. The requested adjustment is based on the methodology outlined in the Franchise Agreement and includes two components, the service component and the disposal component.
1. Rate Structure
As defined in the Franchise Agreement, the solid waste rates consist of two components:
Service Component (6 3.0%) – Adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Disposal Component (37.0%) – Adjusted based on actual tipping fee costs set by the County of Santa Barbara.
2. CPI-Based Adjustment (Service Component)
Public Works staff have reviewed and verified the CPI data submitted by MarBorg.
The CPI change from December 202 4 to December 2025 is 3.01%. This percentage is applied to the service component:
3.01% × 63.0% = 1.8963%, rounded up to 1.90%.
This results in a 1.90% increase in the overall rate.
2 Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
3. Tipping Fee Adjustment (Disposal Component)
Public Works staff also reviewed the request for an increase in the disposal component, based on updated tipping fees from the Santa Barbara County. The changes are as follows:
Trash, Recycling, and Food Waste fees will increase from $1 96.50/ton to $203.45/ton, an increase of $6.95/ton.
Green Waste fees will increase from $5 8.00/ton to $ 60.00/ton, an increase of $2.00/ton.
MarBorg’s rate adjustment request states that these tipping fee increases result in a
3.53% increase to the disposal component. Public Works staff reviewed the request and confirmed the tipping fee information with County staff.
When the 3.53% disposal component increase is applied to the 37.0% disposal portion of the rate, the resulting adjustment is:
3.53% × 37.0% = 1.3061%, rounded to 1.31%
This results in a 1.31% increase to the overall rate.
The processing facility recovers recyclables and organics from the trash waste stream to reduce the amount of material landfilled. Food waste is also recovered and sent to an anaerobic digester to produce usable compost. The facility supports increased recycling, generates renewable energy, reduces methane emissions, and assists the City with meeting applicable regulatory requirements.
4. Overall Rate Adjustment
The overall proposed rate adjustment is based on the CPI adjustment to the service component and the tipping fee adjustment to the disposal component. Service Component: 1.90%
Disposal Component: 1.31%
Rounded Component Total: 3.21%
Total Proposed Rate Adjustment Applied by MarBorg: 3.20% MarBorg’s rate adjustment request applies a total increase of 3 .20% to the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 solid waste rates. Although t he rounded component values total
3.21%, MarBorg applied the slightly lower 3.20% overall adjustment in its rate adjustment request.
Since the requested increase is less than 10%, it does not require a Proposition 218 protest hearing process.
3 Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
In accordance with Franchise Agreement Section 12.2.1, MarBorg shall send a rate increase notice to all accounts at least forty-five (45) days before the effective date of the increase.
If the City Council approves the rate increase by resolution, Attachment 2, the approved rates will be effective July 1, 2026. The impact on selected residential and commercial ratepayers is shown in Table 1. The full rate schedule is included as Attachment 3.

Note:
The proposed rate increase is 3.20% per MarBorg's proposed rate increase for FY2026-27. Both residential and commercial sectors and service types include proposed rate increases between 3.18% and 3.22%.
In future years, if rate increases continue to not exceed 10% when compared to the prior year, and there are no fee revisions, a Proposition 218 Hearing is not required. This will be revisited with the increase for July 1, 2029.
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.
Diversion compliance: In accordance with the Franchise Agreement Amendment 2, MarBorg is required to maintain a minimum combined commercial and 4 Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
residential diversion of 41.5%. The diversion is shown in Table 2 below , and MarBorg is in compliance with the agreement.

Customer Satisfaction: On a monthly basis, MarBorg provides the City with a list of complaints received and their resolution. Most complaints concern missed pickups, carts left out late, or extra material for collection. There are no longstanding unresolved issues that need addressing.
Timely Payment of fees : MarBorg pays all fees to the City on time and in accordance with the Franchise Agreement.
Competitive Rate Guarantee: In accordance with Section 12.3 of the Franchise Agreement, Competitive Rate Guarantee, Public Works staff reviewed the existing rates of the County of Santa Barbara and the proposed rates of the City of Santa Barbara. While service levels and collection schedules vary by agency, the City of Goleta’s rates are equal to or lower than comparable rates in the surrounding area.
Special Collections: MarBorg provides special collection services (bulky items, batteries, waste, and major appliances or “white goods”) at no additional expense.
Each residential property is entitled to four (4) on-call services per fiscal year, and multi-family units each get one (1) collection per unit. 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 unlimited quantity.
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 discs, cell phones, computers, televisions, and other electronic waste.
Participation in local events and community cleanups: MarBorg continues to participate in local cleanups as requested by the City.
Maximum Rates Adjustment Request: MarBorg submitted a request to the City on March 5, 2026, to adjust the maximum rates effective July 1, 2026. Franchise 5 Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Agreement Section 12.2.1 requires MarBorg to submit a rate increase request at least one hundred twenty (120) days before the proposed effective date. For a July 1, 2026 effective date, the request was due by March 3, 2026. The City received the request two (2) days after that deadline. Public Works staff recommends that the City Council accept the request and proceed to consider the propo sed rate adjustment.
Based on the review described above, Public Works staff finds that MarBorg is substantially in compliance with the Franchise Agreement. Although the rate adjustment request was received two days after the 120-day submittal deadline, MarBorg submitted the rate adjustment request and supporting documentation for City review, and Public Works staff recommends that the City Council accept the request and consider approval of the requested rate increase. Public comments received before the meeting will be provided to the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The overall increase to the MarBorg customers/rate payers will be 3.20%, with specific rates provided in Attachment 3.
Under the Franchise Agreement, the City receives a monthly 5% Franchise Fee and 12% Environmental Services Program Fee from MarBorg . These fees are calculated on the adjusted gross monthly revenue derived from franchise collection operations in the City and remitted to the City monthly. A $28,955 City revenue increase is projected for the Franchise Fee, and a $69,193 City revenue increase is projected for the Environmental Services Fee for FY 2026/27 compared to FY 202 5/26. Under the Franchise Agreement’s rate model, all residential and commercial rates are increased uniformly.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council may elect not to approve the rate increase at this time, keeping the existing rates 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 providing all associated back -up documentation. Per the Franchise Agreement, the City Manager shall decide on the matter within 30 days of receipt of the appeal.

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 amendmen t states that the Contractor’s Recurring Rate Revenue shall be organized into a Service Component and Material Tipping Fee Component. The Service Component shall be ad justed based on the ch ange in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Material Tipping Fee Co mponent shall be adjusted to reimburse the Contract for its actual Material Tipping Fee Cost.
Based on the monthly billing from July 2025 th rough December 2025, and the actual material tipping fees, the weighting of the above components is as follows:
Component Weight Current Rate
Revenue
Service 63.0% $8,633,774
Disposal 37.0% $5,080,513
Total 100% $13,714,287
The change in CPI from December 2024 to Dece mber 2025 is 3.01%, as determined by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This value was determined for the Los Angeles area. The relevant BLS report is attached. An increase of 3.01% of the Service Component results in an additional $259,918 in annual revenue.
On July 1st, 2026, we also expect the County of Santa Ba rbara to raise the tipping fee for trash, recycling, and foodwaste from $196.50 to $203.45/ton, and the greenwaste tipping fee from $58 to $60/ton.
With the implementation of the Minimum Delivery Agreement (MDA) between the City of Goleta and the County of Santa Barbara, these rates must cover the costs of either the MDA tons or the actual annual tons, whichever is greater. Acco rding to our calculations, the City of Goleta delivered 27,292 tons of MDA-qualifying material to the County. The MDA requirement is 28,292 tons. Of this, we estimate that 3,564 tons will be delivered from franchise roll-off customers and 9 therefore does not need to be incorporated into the rates. That leaves 24,728 tons of MDA material, as well as 3,817 tons of greenwaste (t he actual amount collected over the last 12 months). This will amount to $179,496 in increase d tipping fees over the course of the year, a
3.53% increase over the current tip fees.
The overall effect on the rates is as follows:
Component Revenue
Adjustment
Percent of
Revenue
Percent
Increase
Resulting
Increase
Service $ 259,918 63.0% 3.01% 1.90%
Disposal $ 179,496 37.0% 3.53% 1.31%
Total $ 439,415 100% 3.20%
An increase of 3.01% on 63.0% of the revenue is 1.90% (.0301 x .630 = .0190).
An increase of 3.53% on 37.0% of the revenue is 1.31% (.0353 x .370 = .0131).
The total increase in revenue needed from the cu rrent fiscal year to the next fiscal year is $439,415, which includes the increases in projecte d material tip fees, and the CPI increase applied to the service component of the rates.
Based on these calculations, we propose the at tached rates for the 2026/ 2027 year. All rates have been increased by 3.20% over the current rates.
Sincerely,
Derek Carlson
Business Manager

RATES
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLETA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026 , the City Council held a duly noticed meeting with respect to the solid waste maximum rates.
SECTION 2.
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 five years. The City Council hereby adopts the increase in solid waste collection fees for CPI and tipping fee totaling 3.20% as follows:
a) Beginning July 1 , 20 26 and through June 30, 202 7, the Service Component of the Maximum Rates shall be increased 1.90% percent, which reflects the change in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Consumer Price Index (CPI), from December 2024 to December 2025, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
b) Beginning July 1, 2026 and through June 30, 2027, the Material Tipping Fee Cost component of the Maximum Rates will be increased by 1.31% percent to reflect the increase to the refuse, recycling and green waste tipping fees as established by Santa Barbara County.
c) This resolution is adopted in accordan ce with Resolution 22 -18, which provides that beginning on July 1, 2023, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including July 1, 2028, 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, and in no event shall such an increase cause the solid waste service fees to exceed the cost of providing service. If tipping fees or CPI would require greater than a 10% incr ease 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.
