Cc: Jon Kennedy <[email protected]>, Susan Scarlett <[email protected]> Hi Ricky. In response to your recent request for a refuse collection rate increase, we restate the City's request that you issue an up-to-date compiled financial statement prepared by your accounting firm. The City will not send representatives to IMD's office to review those records.
Please note under Section 5.5 of the franchise agreement, IMD shall both document and provide justification for its request for a rate increase based on increases to Pass-Through Costs. We believe that IMD has a clear obligation to provide the City a financial statement for our review and understanding.
Recall the last time there was a disposal fee increase at Delleker Transfer Station - in 2019 - IMD emailed the city a financial statement. From those records, staff was able to ascertain to the City Council that your company had provided the relevant information in support of your request to increase curbside refuse collection rates.
Accordingly, please email a financial statement to me at your earliest convenience. Note that your refusal to provide, or delay in providing, a financial statement to the City will result in the City's inability to process, or delay in processing, your requested rate increase.
Thank you,
Tom

INCREASE FOR COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE
SUPERVISORS BOARD ROOM IN THE PLUMAS COUNTY COURTHOUSE
10:00 A.M., July 5, 2022
A resolution is being proposed to amend the rates for solid waste collection and disposal within the unincorporated portion of Plumas County served by InterMountain Disposal (Solid Waste Franchise Area No. 2). The calculated rate increase (8.91%) is determined per the terms and conditions of the 2017 Franchise Contract for the solid waste collection and disposal fees for property owners and tenants (those liable to pay solid waste charges for residential curbside collection) operated by the franchise contractor InterMountain Disposal (IMD) serving Franchise Area No. 2.
If adopted, the resolution will amend the existing solid waste fee schedule to increase the solid waste collection and disposal fees for property owners and tenants (those liable to pay solid waste charges for residential curbside collection) by 8.91% beginning on July 5, 2022.
Commercial solid waste collection fees will increase by 8.91% beginning on July 5, 2022. These rate changes apply to the area serviced by Intermountain Disposal only, not Feather River Disposal. This resolution will not affect property owners within the City of Portola. A proposed fee schedule is available on the County website (see below).
The proposed fee schedule is available for view on the internet at:
