Agenda packet, first session — Palmdale City Council, June 15, 2022 (part 2 of 3)

and energy products on behalf of EPIC and authorized the City Manager to enter into certain contracts, including contracts for energy and energy products.  Adopted Resolution No. CC 2021-016 approving the filing of Resource Adequacy (RA) and Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) plans with the CPUC and confirming the City’s commitment to launch EPIC and begin serving customers in 2022.

Establishing a CCA program provides benefits to the City which include:
 Local control of energy procurement and rate setting;  Ability to provide the community with local programs, economic development, and energy efficiency programs;
 Eligibility to apply for new funding sources and grant opportunities to support city goals and priorities.

EPIC is set to launch in two phases: Phase 1 in October 2022 for residential and municipal accounts, with Phase 2 in March 2023 for all other customers.

DISCUSSION
CCA programs gives residents and businesses an opportunity to purchase electricity from local government agencies and gives local governments the authority to manage energy resources on behalf of their communities and customers. CCAs can provide many environmental, social, and economic benefits to their communities. Central to the concept of CCA is local choice. It gives the communities themselves the power to make choices about energy resource portfolios and investments, both within and from outside their local service area. It also empowers communities to reinvest locally with programs that address economic, social, and environmental justice goals. There are currently over 200 towns, cities, and counties serving over 11 million customers through community choice energy programs.

An essential part of EPIC’s operation is rate setting. Well-designed rates directly impact the program’s financial performance and customer satisfaction. EPIC’s proposed generation rates are based upon its projected power supply costs, budgeted administrative and overhead costs, reserve targets, and energy programs, and are typically addressed during the budget process. To address fluctuations in operating costs, City Council has determined that EPIC rates may require minor adjustments from time to time and prior to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting for budget adoption or review. In order to help avoid an operating deficit or surplus, the City Manager requires the power and authority to Report to Mayor and City Council

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE RESTATING IN ITS

ENTIRETY THE PALMDALE MASTER SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. CC 2021-057
ISSUE
Adopt Resolution No. CC 202 2-065 a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale restating in its entirety the Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees and Repealing Resolution No. CC 2021-057.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. CC 2022 -065 to aut horize the proposed fees and charges for the fees, charges, and requirements set forth in the City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees for Service, effective July 1, 2022, and attached hereto;

2. Repeal Resolution No. CC 2021-057;

BACKGROUND
Periodically, the City Council adopts Fee Resolutions, which 1) revise existing fees, rates, or charges; 2) establishes new fees, rates, or charges; or 3) revise headings or descriptive language for existing fees for the City's operating departments.

The 2021-22 fee schedule was reformatted and as part of that process some information from the previously adopted 2017 Fee Schedule was unintentionally omitted. Upon thorough review, the proposed Master Schedule of Fees has corrected this matter, restoring missing fees and policies.

DISCUSSION
The State Constitution provides the authority for cities to impose user fees and regulatory fees for services and activities, however the fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity.

In order to better achieve the City’s policy regarding cost recovery goals and to minimize General Fund subsidies for services provided staff has identified inefficiencies, missing fees and/or processes.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopts Resolution No. CC 2022-065 to authorize proposed adjustments to the Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees for certain departments detailed in this staff report, effective July 1, 2022.

PARKS AND RECREATION
DryTown has two new rental items, glow in the dark inner tubes for evening events and smaller sized shade cabanas. Both of these items have been added to the fee schedule.

With the CPI increase last year, cabana pricing for the larger units were changed to an odd figure. For marketing purposes, this fee is proposed to be slightly reduced. Similarly, for marketing and efficiency all fees have been increased to the nearest .25, which has historically been the practice. Fees and policies from the 2017 Fee Schedule which were unintentionally omitted in subsequent schedule updates have been restored.

One omitted policy, which defines how recreation program fees are to be established has been updated to reflect current recommendations, trends and practices. A recommendation from the user fee study conducted by Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC suggested that the City Council develop a conscious policy as to what programs should be subsidized with tax monies in promoting social benefit and to what extent.

Likewise, current industry best practices have shifted to a subsidy and cost recovery policy, titled pyramid methodology by BerryDunn.com and GreenPlay LLC. This methodology originated in the 1990’s and is now widely practiced across the United States. The resulting pyramid model illustrates appropriate program subsidy levels and cost recovery targets, which provides the framework necessary for decision making.

The bottom of the pyramid consists of basic services free to the public in the interest of social and community benefit. The top of the pyramid consists of services that are structured, specialized or are used by special interest groups or individuals. Services at the bottom of the pyramid are subsidized by City revenues, conversely services at the top of the pyramid are incrementally off-set by participation fees. Reference Fee Schedule attachment, Parks & Recreation Cost Recovery Pyramid.

GIS FEES
The City has historically charged a 5% GIS fee on various Building & Safety, Planning and Engineering fees to recoup the City’s GIS cost, which include software and labor required to track and maintain locations of any and all permits, assets and any additional items that have a geographical location within the City. Extensive staff time is required to maintain accurate GIS information, which is then used by City staff and the public for purposes of permitting, plan check, inspections, engineering and various aspects of Report to Mayor and City Council

planning. The public is also provided limited access to the City’s GIS data, which aids in the application processes. See Exhibit J, attached.

ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Building & Safety and Planning divisions are proposing to add an Expedited Fee for the below services. The inclusion of this fee in the City’s Master Schedule of Fees is a response to the developer community and the desire to have the option to request and pay for an expedited turnaround time on services. This is an optional fee.

Exhibit A – Building & Safety
 Expedited Plan Check
Exhibit O - Planning
 Expedited Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
 Expedited Preliminary Project Review to Development Advisory Board (DAB)  Expedited Site Plan Review

NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES
There are no proposed changes to fees in the Neighborhood Services section of the Master Schedule of Fees, however, additional language has been added to show the specific code violations that are subject to administrative citations, as well as the City’s policies for handling repeat violations, late payments and collections. See Exhibit K, attached.

CONCLUSION
Any action by the City to levy a new fee or service charge or to approve an increase in an existing fee or service must be approved by ordinance or resolution. Before any new fee or service charge can be added to the Palmdale Fee Resolution, a public hearing must be held, and reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community.

As such, Staff recommends that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. CC 2022-065 and Repeal Resolution No. CC 2021-057, authorizing the proposed fees and charges for the fees, charges, and requirements set forth in the City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees for Service, effective July 1, 2022.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
A Public Hearing Notice regarding the citywide fee resolution was published in the local newspaper of general circulation on June 1, 2022, June 8, 2022, and again on June 14, 2022, at which time the public was invited to make oral and written presentation as part of the regularly scheduled meeting prior to the adoption of Resolution No. CC 2022-065.

Additionally, written notice has been provided to interested parties at least 14 days prior to the public meeting to any interested party who filed written requests for mailed notice of meeting on new or increased development related fees or service charges.

FISCAL IMPACT
Resolution No. CC 2022-065, if adopted, would allow certain fees to be adjusted and policies to be enacted, which will allow the City to better recoup costs and continue providing services to the community.

Definitions:

1. Agencies with proof of Internal Revenue Code IRC 501 (c) (3) (4) (5) and (6) are considered non-profits.

2. Commercial use is defined as an event held for the purpose of generating monetary gain for the event sponsor(s).

3. Direct program costs are exclusively incurred as a result of the program and are frequently variable, adjusting as program participation varies. Direct cost examples include part-time personnel, supplies, contract services and equipment.

4. Indirect program costs that are shared among several programs and are necessary to execute general day-to-day operations. Indirect cost examples include personnel overhead, utilities and custodial expenses. Indirect costs are not considered as fees and charges are determined.

Policies

1. Non-profit with verifiable status of IRC 501 (c) (3) (4) (5) or (6) are eligible for a 25% facility reservation rate reduction. Unless otherwise specified, facility reservation fees that are eligible for a rate reduction are noted by an 8. Rate reductions do not apply to personnel fees, facility deposits or equipment rental.

2. Unless otherwise specified, the rate for use of facilities for commercial purposes shall be charged at 200% of the hourly reservation fee, in addition to 5% gross admission ticket sales and gross alcohol sales. These fees may be reduced or waived if the applicant can demonstrate that residents of the City of Palmdale benefit from the use of facilities or the services being provided.

3. Unless otherwise specified, set-up and clean-up charges are comprised of applicable facility hourly reservation rates.

4. Park parking lots are generally not available for exclusive use reservations. If exclusivity can be accommodated and if parking fees are charged by the renter, 25% of parking fees collected are to be paid to the City.

5. Parks & Recreation program and service fees are established by following specified cost recovery policies. Fees and charges are determined by identifying direct costs if providing services and apply the cost recovery goals stated below. Direct program costs are referenced in the definitions section. It is widely accepted that park and recreation systems are publicly financed, and therefore offer free or affordable services. The level of program subsidy will be based on an assessment of the community or social benefit, local market and economic conditions. As services have a greater appeal to individuals or groups of individuals, it is appropriate to charge fees for the services at an increasing rate of cost recovery. Cost recovery target categories include: Community Benefit/Access, free; Community Benefit, 0-25%; Balanced Beneficiaries, 25-50%; Substantial Individual Benefit, 50-75%; Exclusive Individual Benefit, 75-100%.

Cost recovery categories are further defined in Exhibit L-1.

General Fees

1. Unless otherwise specified, a special event application processing fee of $250 may be charged for staff services required to process the application, which may include coordination with other City departments, or State and County government agencies. The fee is non-refundable and does not guarantee approval of the application.

2. Unless otherwise specified, fees for personnel shall be calculated at hourly rate for staff wages, plus 45% for full-time benefits or 15% for part-time benefits and a 25% administrative fee. Unless the use warrants otherwise, staff will be scheduled to be on-site one-half hour before and after use.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: JUNE 15, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE AMENDING
CHAPTER 2.46 REGARDING PLANNING COMMISSIONER

APPOINTMENTS
ISSUE
Adopt proposed Urgency Ordinance No. U-1590 to amend the existing Municipal Code Sections 2.46.030 (“Composition and Appointment of Commissioners”) and 2.46.040 (“Terms of office – Vacancies”) to, among other things, make these sections consistent with the newly adopted City Council District map that contains five districts.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing and adopt the Proposed Urgency Ordinance U-1590 by a minimum four-fifths vote.

BACKGROUND
Chapter 2.46 of the Palmdale Municipal Code (“PMC”) governs the composition and operation of the Planning Commission. Section 2.46.020 creates Planning Commission Districts that mirror those of the City Council as identified in PMC 4.10.010.

On April 6, 2022, the Palmdale City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1579 that amended PMC 4.10.010 by increasing the number of Council Districts from four to five. New district lines were adopted.

Before redistricting, the Planning Commission district membership was as follows:

BEFORE REDISTRICTING
(Districts 1, 2, 4 expire in 2022)
(3 and at large expired in 2023)
District Commissioner Term Scheduled to Expire
(prior to redistricting)
1 Christina Fraga-Saenz June 30, 2022
2 Dean Henderson June 30, 2022
3 Stacia Nemeth June 30, 2023
4 V. Jesse Smith June 30, 2022
AT LARGE Bart Avery June 30, 2023
Existing Municipal Code section 2.46.040, “Terms of Office” indicates that districts 1, 2, and 4 expire on June 30 of every even-numbered year, and district 3 and the at-large seat expire every odd numbered year.

PMC 2.46.030 provides that Planning Commissioners must reside within their Planning Commission District. Due to the recent redistricting, now four of the five commissioners reside in districts other than their original district. Additionally, four of the five commissioners reside in Districts 2 and 5. This conflicts with the existing code which states that each commissioner should live in the district from which they are appointed.

DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance does seven things:

First, as proposed, instead of there being four planning commissioner districts and one- at large district, there would be five planning commissioner districts. The boundary for each planning district would be the same as the city council district.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Proposed Urgency Ordinance U-1590
June 15, 2022

Page 3 ends

Second, the ordinance would retain the rule that each council/commission district gets exactly one planning commissioner.

Third, the ordinance changes the appointing authority for the commissioners. The existing code states that it is the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council, who appoints each planning commissioner. The proposed ordinance would change the rule such that each Councilmember has the appointment power for their respective districts, with the approval of the City Council. The ordinance includes an uncodified provision (Section 2) that would establish that, until a councilmember is sworn in to represent District 5, the Mayor shall have the authority to nominate/appoint as if he were the councilmember representing District 5.

Fourth, the ordinance adds numbering for ease of administration.

Fifth, the ordinance indicates that if, in the future, district boundaries change, and such boundary change causes a commissioner to no longer live in the district from which they were appointed, then such commissioner may continue to serve on the Planning Commission until the next date that the City Council appoints any person to the Planning Commission, provided that the commissioner otherwise would be authorized to serve on the Commission.

Sixth, the ordinance includes an uncodified provision to clarify that appointments may occur at this June 15, 2022 meeting, or at any other special meeting in June of 2022.

Last, the ordinance would change the termination dates for planning commission terms; the ordinance would not change the fact that each commissioner is appointed to a two- year term. Currently, the ordinance states that the terms of councilmember districts 1, 2 and 4 expire in every even numbered year, and district 4 and the “at large” district expire in odd-numbered years. The proposed ordinance would change this to 1, 3, and 4 expiring in even numbered years, and 2 and 5 expiring in odd numbered years. This is proposed because, commissioners Avery and Nemeth were slated to have one year left on their term. With this change, if they continue on the commission, then by representing districts 2 and 5, they would continue to have just one year remaining on their term of office. The Council can consider whether such change would still be appropriate if commissioner Henderson, Fraga-Saenz, or another commissioner were to be appointed to serve in districts 2 and/or 5 instead.

Staff is proposing that the City Council adopt an Urgency Ordinance that would become immediately effective with a 4/5 vote of the Council.

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend Chapter 2.46 to provide that Planning Commissioners be appointed in a manner that is consistent with the currently established five City Council districts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is a need to enact these amendments immediately because the terms of three Planning Commissioners are expiring June 30, 2022, and new appointments must be made to ensure continuity of the Planning Commission’s operations and avoid delays in approving urgently needed housing and other projects, and to avoid city liability, and that as a result this ordinance is needed for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety.

The at- large Commissioner must be a resident of the City. If the at-large Commissioner ceases to be a resident of the City, that Commissioner’s appointment will automatically terminate.
(5) Commissioners serve at the pleasure of the City Council and may be removed prior to the expiration of their term by a vote of a majority of the members of the City Council.

Any person seeking to be so appointed must complete and submit the City volunteer application, together with any other information requested by the Mayor Councilmember.
(2) All such applications shall be provided to the City Council for review. The Mayor Councilmember for the corresponding district shall, at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, nominate, from among such applicants, the person whom the city councilmember desires to appoint to the Planning Commission.
(3) If the nomination by the Mayor Councilmember is approved by a majority vote of the City Council, the City Councilmember may then proceed to appoint the person to the Planning Commission.
(4) If the nomination by the Mayor Councilmember is not approved by a majority vote of the City Council, the City Councilmember will nominate a different candidate until someone is approved by majority vote of the City Council.

2.46.040 Terms of office – Vacancies.
(A) The terms for districts 1, 2 3 and 4 expire on June 30th of every even-numbered year. The terms for district 3 2 and the at large commissioner 5 expire on June 30th of every odd-numbered year.

SECTION 2. Temporary Mayoral Appointing Power for District 5. It is acknowledged that as the date this ordinance became effective, neither the current Mayor, nor any other member of the City Council resides in District 5. As such, until a Councilmember has been sworn in to represent District 5 (which is expected to occur in late 2022), for purposes Municipal Code section 2.46.030 only, the Mayor shall be deemed to be the councilperson who was elected from District 5, and who is therefore authorized to nominate and, with a majority vote of the City Council, appoint the nominee, to the planning commission.

SECTION 3. Appointment at Special Meeting. The City Council recognizes that Municipal Code 2.46.030(B)(2) states that appointments should be made at a “regularly scheduled meeting” of the City Council. For the avoidance of doubt, the City Council declares that this requirement shall not apply to appointments which occur at the special meeting on June 15, 2022 or any subsequent special meeting in June of 2022. The City Council finds that this exception is appropriate because of the urgent need to make appointments on or before June 30, 2022, and because there is no remaining regularly scheduled City Council meeting in June of 2022. The City Council further notes that this exception is consistent with the purpose of this subsection, which is to ensure public is notified of potential nominations. The Council further notes that the appointment of planning commissioners had previously been considered at the June 1, 2022 regular meeting and it was announced at that meeting that appointments would be considered at the June 15, 2022 meeting. Therefore, all interested persons would have been informed that appointments would be considered at the June 15 meeting or thereafter.

SECTION 4. Emergency Declaration. The City Council declares this Urgency Ordinance to be an emergency measure, to take effect immediately upon adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36934. The facts constituting the emergency include the urgent need for additional housing within the City of Palmdale and the housing projects currently pending that require Planning Commission action. Three of the current five Planning Commissioners’ terms are expiring June 30, 2022, two of which are ineligible for reappointment due to recent redistricting. This ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety for a few reasons. First, if this Urgency Ordinance is not immediately effective, lawful Planning Commissioner appointments could not be timely made and the Commission would be unable to conduct business due to a lack of a quorum. Second, urgently needed housing projects and other development within the City would be unnecessarily delayed. Third, failure to act on applications in an efficient manner could subject the city to legal liability.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase in this Urgency Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Urgency Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, Urgency Ordinance U-1590

Page 4 of 5 ends

sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one (1) or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective, provided the basic purposes of this Urgency Ordinance and the benefits to the City and the public are not substantially impaired.

SECTION 6. CEQA. The City Council finds the approval of this Urgency Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Alternatively, the City Council finds the approval of this ordinance is not a project under CEQA Regulation Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately.

SECTION 8. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Urgency Ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published or posted as required by law.

PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 15th day of June, 2022. ________________________________

DATE: JUNE 15, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: APPROVE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED FRANCHISE

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALMDALE AND WASTE
MANAGEMENT OF CALIFORNIA, INC., DBA WASTE

MANAGEMENT OF ANTELOPE VALLEY FOR INTEGRATED SOLID

WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
ISSUE
Approve Second Amendment to the Amended Franchise Agreement between the City of Palmdale and Waste Management of California, Inc. dba Waste Management of Antelope Valley for Integrated Solid Waste Management Services.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve in c oncept the attached version of the Second Amendment to the Amended Franchise Agreement between the City of Palmdale and Waste Management of California, Inc. dba Waste Management of Antelope Valley for Integrated Solid Waste Management Services (Agreement No. A-5852); and

2. Authorize the Interim City Manager and the Acting City Attorney to negotiate and execute the amendment for an implementation date of July 1, 2022.

BACKGROUND
Staff recommends the approval of the Second Amendment to the Amended Franchise Agreement between the City of Palmdale and Waste Management of California, Inc. dba Waste Management of Antelope Valley for Integrated Solid Waste Management Services (Franchise Agreement), without adjusting the term of the agreement as outlined below. The second amendment was prepared and negotiated as a result of California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy also known as Senate Bill (SB) 1383. This billaims to reduce organic waste disposal by 75 percent and 20 percent of edible food, that is currently being disposed of as edible food, must be recovered for consumption by those in need by 2025.

To comply with State Law and these goals, the City must implement and enforce several types of programs. These programs include, but are not limited to:

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Agreement No. A-5852 Second Amendment
Date of Meeting: June 15, 2022

Page 2 ends

 Providing mandatory organic waste curbside collection services to all residents and businesses;
 Establishing an edible food recovery program that recovers edible food from the waste stream and redistributes it to food rescue organizations;  Conducting outreach and education to all affected parties, including generators, haulers, facilities, edible food recovery organizations, and City departments;  Conduct capacity planning for organic waste and edible food recovery;  Procure recycled organic waste products such as compost, mulch, renewable natural gas and energy, and recycled content paper and paper products; and  Inspecting and enforcing compliance along with maintaining extensive records and documentation.

DISCUSSION
Due to SB 1383 requirements, it is necessary to request additions and enhancements to the Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement sections necessitating changes include Definitions, Limitations to Scope, Fees, Direct Services, and Rate Structure (staff is still negotiating the approved rate increase methodology however it will not affect the proposed 2022-2023 fiscal year rates). After negotiating with WM (formerly known as Waste Management), staff believes the proposed changes in the Second Amendment reasonably addresses SB 1383 requirements. The proposed changes are as follows:

SB 1383 compliance will have an impact on rates paid by all WM customers. Rate increases for residential, commercial, and industrial accounts have been outlined in the proposed amendment. Rate increases will allow compliance issues such as the increased tonnage going to our organics processor for processing all residential organics rather than just residential green waste; meeting commercial recycling and organics processing requirements; and monitoring and enforcement requirements imposed on both the City and WM. Currently, the City’s organic waste is being diverted to Kochergen Farms in Avenal, which is approximately a three-hour drive from Palmdale and is a short term solution. An organics feasibility study is currently being conducted to estimate the incremental cost and benefits of sending organic waste to a proposed local facility and will help the City determine where our organics will be diverted for the long term.

The impacts to rates are as follows:
 WM will receive their annual rate increase of 4.7 percent based on nationwide applicable cost index changes as calculated by the United States Department of Labor.
 Residential accounts will have an additional increase of 20.51 percent, bringing the total overall increase to 25.21 percent. The majority of City residents Report to Mayor and City Council

receive WM’s standard service and their rates will increase from $26.68 per month to $33.41 per month.
 Commercial accounts will have an additional increase of 11.3 percent, bringing the total overall increase to 16.0 percent. Commercial accounts vary significantly; however for comparison, the collection rate for a three cubic yard bin once per week will increase from $146.90 per month to $170.40 per month.  Industrial accounts will have an additional increase of 2.3 percent, bringing the total overall increase to 7.0 percent. For reference, the handling and rental fee for a 25 cubic yard trash roll-off bin will increase from $320.40 for one week to $342.83.

WM also proposed the following new rate categories:
 Residential Contaminated Recycling and Organics Container Fee at $22.40 per occurrence (City will work with WM in monitoring and providing sufficient notices to residents prior to assessing the fee).
 The following per ton rates for roll-off containers:
o Recyclables - $114.18
o Construction and Demolition Debris - $104.91
o Organic Waste - $90.54
Definitions being added or modified are as follows:
 Section 1.53 is changed from “Source Separated” to “Source Separated Recyclable Material”.
 Section 1.61 adds “Blue Container”.
 Section 1.62 adds “Edible Food”.
 Section 1.63 adds “Food Recovery”.
 Section 1.64 adds “Food Recovery Organization”.
 Section 1.65 adds “Food Recovery Service”.
 Section 1.66 adds “Gray Container”.
 Section 1.67 adds “Green Container”.
 Section 1.68 adds “Source Separated Green Container Organic Waste” or “SSGCOW”.

The Limitations to Scope section has been modified to outline the following topics:
 Section 2.9.1 (O) adds Edible Food.
 Section 2.9.1 (P) adds Food and Beverage Byproducts.
 Section 2.9.1 (Q) adds On-Site or Community Composting.  Section 2.16 adds Generator Waivers.

Fees from WM are being added and modified to offset costs to the City stemming from compliance efforts with SB 1383 requirements and the City’s ongoing efforts to address illegal dumping.
 Section 3.3 – AB 939 Fee is to be increased to a starting amount of $187,000.  Section 3.5 – City Program Study Support Fee – Replaces the biennial audit requirement, retains the fee for program-related expenses, such as consultants and studies at $69,000, payable biennially.
 Section 3.6 – Software Fee (replaces Mobile App Fee) – Fee is updated to a new starting amount of $37,000.
 Section 3.7 – Abandoned Item Abatement Program Fee – Fee is updated to a new starting amount of $290,000.
 Section 3.11 – SB 1383 Fee – New fee would start at $100,000.

Direct Services for the most part are being enhanced to include SB1383 requirements, including the transfer and processing of collected organics for residential and commercial residents.
 Section 4.5.2 is being revised to include Organic Waste containers requested by City departments and to provide 24 roll-off boxes per year to the City for cleanup campaigns.
 Section 4.8.3 addresses hauler route reviews and sets a minimum of five percent of containers to be reviewed annually.
 Section 4.9 is revised to make recycling contamination provisions applicable to both recyclable materials and organic waste containers.  Section 4.11.3 addresses State cart color requirements.

As mentioned above, WM requested a revised methodology to determine annual rate increases. Staff is working with WM to determine a rate increase methodology reflective of increase costs to provide services to accounts in the City. The final formula will factor increased costs, including changes in disposal and/or processing costs. However, it will continue to be capped at a maximum five percent per year as currently outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, as outlined in the attached, staff is still negotiating certain rates and the impacts of the above-mentioned State required changes on the fees.

The City’s Franchise Agreement term with WM is until June 30, 2026; with the option to extend a maximum 24 months. WM prepared an alternative proposal in exchange for extending the term until June 30, 2032 (six additional years). Although residents and businesses will realize some savings with the alternative proposal (standard residential services will be discounted less than a dollar per month), staff does not recommend the proposal. The main reason being that the City is conducting an organics feasibility study and once the City moves forward with the chosen solution, staff anticipates further rate impacts. Additionally, if it is feasible to move forward with the proposed Hitachi Zosen- Report to Mayor and City Council

INOVA anaerobic digestion facility, it will be operational within approximately two years and as is, would be in operation for two years with the current franchise agreement term.

Both scenarios would make it premature to add years to the current term of the Franchise Agreement.

Rate Comparisons
Staff was able to obtain a study of solid
waste collection rates as of July 1,
2021. Using the data, staff found that
Palmdale residents currently have
rates ranked as the 32nd lowest rates in
comparison to the 79 th LA County
jurisdictions used in the evaluation
(according to the study, Palmdale is
actually 35th, but it is based on monthly
rates and staff felt that a comparison of
price per gallon of trash collected was
more appropriate since several cities had 64-gallon containers as the standard size rather than 96-gallons as implemented by the majority, including Palmdale).

With the proposed rate increase, in
comparison to the rates as they stand for
the current fiscal year, Palmdale
residential rates are ranked as the 48 th
lowest rates. The following demonstrates
where Palmdale’s rates are in comparison
to the other jurisdictions.

At the time of the study, only 18 of the jurisdictions had a full residential organics program. In comparison to those jurisdictions, Palmdale residents have the 8 th lowest rates as outlined in the table below.

The study also looked at
commercial rates. However, the
comparison could only compare
64 jurisdictions to make the
evaluation equitable. The
analysis was based on the
monthly rate for a three cubic yard
bin collected once per week from
a business. Based on the
analysis, Palmdale businesses
currently have the 12 th lowest
rate.

New State requirements also
have an impact on commercial
rates and the study did not go
into detail which cities have or
haven’t incorporated all of the
changes required for
commercial services. In
comparing the City’s revised
rates to the current rates of the
cities, Palmdale’s rate for a
three cubic yard bin once per
month is the 29 th lowest rate in
the County.
