This item is to request the Council approve the Sebastopol Solid Waste Collection Services Annual Rate Adjustment by the City’s Franchise Solid Waste Collector/Hauler, Recology Sonoma Marin (“Recology”). Annual rate adjustments are permitted upon City review and approval as per the provisions of the Franchise Agreement between the City and Recology.

A representative from Recology will be making a short presentation to Council regarding the proposed rates.

BACKGROUND:

On December 16, 2008 the Council adopted Resolution 5723 and entered into a Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with a local solid waste collection and hauling firm, Redwood Empire Disposal, also known as “The Ratto Group”.

The Agreement covered solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials collection and street sweeping services.

Subsequently, on September 19, 2017, the Council approved the assignment of the Agreement from Redwood Empire Disposal to Recology. The original Franchise Agreement was effective January 1, 2009 and is set to end by December 31, 2023.

On June 15, 2021 Council approved an Annual Rate Adjustmentschedule effective July 1, 2021 forservices provided by Recology.

On November 16, 2021, Council approved an Annual Rate Adjustment schedule effective July 1, 2022 for services provided by Recology pertaining to SB 1383 regulations.

The City received a letter from Recology dated April 1, 2022 (and updated on May 16, 2022) requesting an annual rate adjustment effective July 1, 2022. A copy of the letter is attached. The proposed rates incorporate the Councilapproved increases pertaining to the SB 1383 regulations.

DISCUSSION:

Franchise Agreement Section 7.3 is titled “Adjustments to Maximum Collection Service Rates” which describes the fee elements and rate adjustment methodologies. In simple form, a “Refuse Rate Index”, or RRI, is calculated and applied to several service components, such as Single-Family Dwelling, Multi Family Dwelling, or Commercial Collection service rates (typically per bin or level of service per month) based on several factors affecting costs such as fuel rates or landfill tip fees, for example.

The Franchise holder is required to apply to the City for potential rate adjustments based on complex formulas described in the Agreement, which must be timed to allow changes to be effective July 1 of a given year. Recology submitted their new proposed rate sheets and supporting calculations on their letter dated April 1, 2022 (proposed annual rate adjustments included in letter, attached).

For July 1, 2022, the 32-gallon Residential cart rate will increase by 12.4% or $2.93, and the 4 Yard Commercial bin will increase by 12.8% or $68.37. Rates will increase by 12.8% on average based on the following changes by rate component:

1. Disposal Component - 3.65% applied only to the Disposal Component of each rate. a. Includes adjustment for the movement of the $4.21 Gate Rate fee from the Disposal Component to the Collection Component (see the Rate Example attached for more detail).

2. Organics Processing - 5.40% applied only to the Organics Component of each rate.

3. RRI/Collection Component - 9.65% applied only to the Collection Component of each rate.

4. SB 1383 Related - 6.30% applied to the total rate including all components.

A summary listing of the proposed rates as compared with current rates is shown in the table below.

Rates not currently listed will increase by 13% 6 CY-1x/week $664.49 $745.19 The largest and notable rate increase comes from the Organics Processing Increase Component, which passes through fees from the County level, which range from 8.79 – 10.03%. However, due to reduction in City organics volumes and other factors, the rate increase that will effectively be applied to residential rates will be at 2.52%.

There are newly developed rates for additional services based on customer needs and those are shown in the attached letter from Recology.

There are two extraordinary items to be included in the 7/1/2022 rates. First, the $4.21 gate rate is being removed from the tip fee, but as approved in the SB1383 Amendment, will continue to be include in the franchise rate to continue to fund current (pre-SB1383) food waste programs. Second, the increase to cover new programs to comply with expanded food waste collection as required by SB1383. To include these extraordinary items, some additional steps must be taken in calculating the rates for 7/1/2022.

This will establish all components as the basis for future rate calculation with no further extraordinary measures required for the gate rate removal or SB1383 increase going forward.

First, rates must be calculated as if the tip fee still includes the $4.21 gate rate. (Steps 1 & 2) Then, the resulting rates must be increased by the SB1383 increase to determine the final 7/1/2022 rates. (Step 3) Lastly, rate components must be recalculated using the now current tip fee (excluding the $4.21 gate rate) with any increase not accounted for by the Disposal, Organics, Utility Tax and Franchise fee components being allocated to the Collection component.
