Adjustment in Solid Waste Program Rates/ Property Tax Roll Billing
Rate Survey
As part of its analysis, Staff conducted a solid waste rate survey which included only those cities located in San Bernardino County and excluding cities in the high desert. The attached refuse rate survey includes basic Residential, Commercial and Franchise Fee rates ( See Attachment Number 1"). The proposed rate for basic residential service ($ 34. 84) is approximately $ 1. 25/ month lower than the average survey rate of $ 36. 09/ month. The proposed rate for basic commercial refuse and recycling service ($ 278. 05) is approximately $ 15.10/month higher than the average survey rate of 262. 95/month. Of importance though is that at the time of this survey many of the cities had not calculated their proposed new rate, so the comparison is based on the rates implemented last year.
Attached as Attachment Number " 4", is the draft resolution for the proposed rate increase for City Council review and consideration. Upon City Council approval, the proposed rates would take effect on July 1, 2025.
Property Tax Roll Billing
As provided in the Written Report ( Attachment Number " 5"), the City Clerk caused notice of the filing of the Written Report and of a time and place of a hearing thereon to be published in accordance with the Code. At the time stated in the notice, the City Council must hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the Written Report. If the City Council finds that protests are made by the owners of a majority of the identified parcels, then the Written Report shall not be adopted. However, the City may still impose the charge for the fiscal year 2025/ 2026. Such Charge must be collected separately from the County Tax Roll and shall not constitute a lien against any parcel or parcels of land. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify ( but may not increase) any Charge or overrule any or all objections and shall make its determination upon each Charge as described in the Written Report.
Attached as Attachment Number " 6", is the draft resolution to provide the direction to the County Tax Collector for City Council review and consideration.
Attached as Attachment Number " 7" are all protests received as of the date of the printing of the staff report.
