City Council/RSA Agenda 173 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
Agenda Item
DATE: 4/23/2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOAN MALLOY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF A PROPOSITION 218 NOTICE AND SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING ON
THE PROPOSED INCREASE OF LANDFILL, COMPOST, AND RECYCLE COLLECTION SERVICE RATES FOR FISCALYEAR 2024-2025
The City’s Franchise Agreements for landfill (solid waste), compost (organic waste), and recycle collection services with Republic Services (Republic) and Tri-City Economic Development Corporation (Tri-CED), prescribe an annual increase in compensation. The compensation increase for FY 2024-2025 will result in rate increases effective July 1, 2024. Solid waste fees for residential customers are currently billed through the property tax roll. Commercial customers are billed directly by Republic Services. California Constitution Article XIII D § 6(a), commonly referred to as Proposition (Prop) 218, requires written notification to all affected property owners, and a 45-day period for property owners to submit written protests if they oppose the proposed maximum rate adjustments.
Staff recommends that the City Counciladopt a resolution approving the issuance of a Proposition 218 Notice and scheduling a Public Hearing on the proposed increase of landfill, compost, and recycle collection service rates for FY 2024-2025.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
While not directly mentioned as a strategy, this report is in alignment with the overarching Goal D:
Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure. Annually reviewing the City’s collection service agreements and rates enables the City to meet the State’s requirements and waste reduction targets
BACKGROUND
The City’s Franchise Agreements with Republic and Tri-CED specify that landfill (solid waste), compost (organic waste), and recycle collection service rates shall be adjusted annually. Residential and commercial service rates are set to generate sufficient revenue to compensate the two collection service providers. Staff City Council/RSA Agenda 174 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
recently completed its review of Compensation Adjustment Applications for FY 2024-2025 submitted by Republic and Tri-CED. For FY 2024-2025, the adjustment to contractor’s compensation was determined using the index-based adjustment method. The index-based compensation adjustment is based on the annual percentage changes in indices (e.g., consumer price index for wages).
This review resulted in decreasing the 3.13% increase included in Republic Compensation Application to
2.65%, and there was no change to the 2.99% increase included in the Tri-CED Compensation Application. While a variety of factors and adjustments were applied to the contractors’ respective Compensation Applications, the reductions were primarily due to the calculation and treatment of City fees in the calculations.
The index-based increases in Total Contractor’s Compensation for FY 2023-2024 is as follows:
2.65% for Republic
2.99% for Tri-CED
2.74% Combined for Single-Family Customers
In addition, at the March 26, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council provided direction to staff to proceed with moving forward with ten (10) year term extensions to the Franchise Agreements with Republic and Tri-CED on the condition that Republic, Tri-CED, and the City explore additional cost savings. The below compensation/rate increases for FY 2024-2025 incorporates the cost savings from all parties and includes the index-based increases in Total Contractor’s Compensation (above):
7.29% for Republic
24.65% for Tri-CED
12.01% Combined for Single-Family Customers
DISCUSSION
The current Franchise Agreements for collection of landfill (solid waste), compost (organic waste), and recycle collection services with Republic and Tri-CED prescribe an annual adjustment to the contractor’s compensation based on either their actual costs (i.e., cost-based) for the preceding year, or a year-over-year changes in various indices (i.e., index-based). The cost-based process occurs every third year and was last applied for FY 2022-2023, whereas the index-based method occurred the prior two years (FY 2020-2021, FY 2021-2022), for FY 2023-2024, and again for FY 2024-2025. When compensation is adjusted, the rates charged to allcustomers are also adjusted to generate the required revenue.
In addition, the rates paid by residential single-family customers and commercial customers include City fees which contribute to the General Fund (i.e., franchise fees) and specific City expenses (i.e., vehicle impact fee, stormwater mitigation compliance fee, AB 939 fee, franchise agreement administrative fee, SB 1383 fee). The AB 939 and franchise agreement administrative fees fund staff salaries and related program expenses to ensure the City’s compliance with State and County mandated waste reduction and recycling activities, and the SB 1383 fee is reserved specifically for expenses associated with the unfunded mandates associated with SB 1383.
The Franchise Agreements obligate the City to increase the compensation paid to Republic and Tri-CED in accordance with the results of the index-based and cost-based compensation adjustment results annually.
However, pursuant to the City Council’s direction at the March 26, 2024 City Council meeting to proceed with ten (10) year term extensions to the Franchise Agreements, the compensation and rates charged to customers for FY 2024-2025 will include costs and services related to the term extension that commences in FY 2025- 2026.
Below, staff has provided the index-based only annual assessments and the comprehensive assessments City Council/RSA Agenda 175 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
associated with the 10-year contract extension that was discussed at the March 26 City Council meeting. Staff is providing both analyses because the current Franchise Agreements stipulate an index-based only annual assessment. The 10-year contract extension will be prepared in the coming months consistent with the framework presented to the City Council and would be effective in FY 24-25.
Residential Collection Service Rates
Union City homeowners currently pay for curbside collection of landfill (solid waste), compost (organic waste), and recycling by way of special assessments applied to annual property tax statements issued by the Alameda County Tax Collector. The fees for basic service are based on weekly servicing of a 35-gallon landfill cart, a 96-gallon organics cart, and a 64-gallon recycling cart. Homeowners requesting larger carts or extra services are billed directly by Republic for the difference in the standard service rate and the elective service they subscribe to. Commercialcustomers are also billed directly by Republic monthly.
Single Family Proposed Rates
The proposed index-based only annual assessment for FY 2024-2025 for single-family households with 3- cart service is $517.32 for landfill and compost collection, and $206.16 for recycle collection. Table 1 provides the annual rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the proposed FY 2024-2025 rates for Single-Family customers. Table 2 provides the monthly rates that were approved for FY 2023-2024 and the proposed monthly rates for FY 2024-2025 adjusted pursuant to the index-based method only.
The proposed index-based and 10-year term extension annual assessment for FY 2024-2025 for singlefamily households with 3-cart service is $540.72 for landfill and compost collection, and $249.48 for recycle City Council/RSA Agenda 176 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
collection. Table 1.A provides the annual rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the proposed FY 2024-2025 rates for Single-Family customers. Table 2.A provides the monthly rates that were approved for FY 2023-2024 and the proposed monthly rates for FY 2024-2025 adjusted pursuant to the index-based method and includes costs associated with the 10-year term extensions.
The City Council authorized Recycling Processing Surcharge (RPS) payments to Tri-CED per Resolution No. 5628-20 adopted on July 30, 2020, and Resolution No. 5687-20 adopted on November 24, 2020. Table 4 provides the RPS fees and total amount of RPS compensation for Tri-CED for FY 2021-2022, FY 2022- 2023, FY 2023-2024, and the amount proposed for FY 2024-2025. A deduction in the company’s requested RPS was made in FY 2021-2022 because the facility was stillclosed due to a fire that occurred in the previous year. A deduction in the company’s requested RPS was also made for FY 2023-2024 to bridge a deficit in revenue collected from Tri-CED billings due to Tri-CED erroneously reporting the number of households the company serves. In addition, the RPS for FY 2023-2024 was apportioned into two equal $162,010.50 payments, with the second payment contingent on the company’s progress with achieving a 75% recycling diversion from landfill of the material processed at its materials recovery facility (MRF).
Although Tri-CED had not yet achieved the desired recycling diversion rate, the City Council awarded TriCED payment of $324,021.00 in FY 2023-2024 for recycling processing in alignment with staff’s recommendation that the cost requested by the company was reasonable based on industry standards and that the company had made good faith efforts to improve its performance. Similar to the results shared by the company in 2023, approximately 50% of all recycling separated by residents and placed curbside for recycling is sent directly to landfill by Tri-CED.
For FY 2024-2025, Tri-CED’s proposed recycling processing cost increases 117.9% from $324,000 to City Council/RSA Agenda 177 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
$706,000 and this amount will be further increased annually for the 10-year term extension commencing FY 2025-2026 based on the annual index changes.
Parcelized Single-Family Proposed Rates
Because of space constraints, most townhome and condominium properties do not currently receive compost (organics waste) cart service. For these parcelized multi-family parcels, the proposed index-based only annual assessment for FY 2024-2025 is $346.80 for landfill collection and $206.16 for recycle collection. Table 5 below provides the annual rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the proposed FY 2024-2025 rates adjusted pursuant to the index-based method only for Parcelized Multi-Family customers. Table 6 provides the monthly rates that were approved for FY 2023-2024 and the proposed monthly rates for FY 2024-2025 adjusted pursuant to the index-based method only.
City Council/RSA Agenda 178 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
The proposed index-based and 10-year term extension annual assessment for FY 2024-2025 for parcelized multi-family households $362.40 for landfill collection, and $249.48 for recycle collection. Table
5.A provides the annual rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the proposed FY 2024-2025 rates for parcelized multi-family customers pursuant to the index-based method and includes cost associated with the 10-year term extensions. Table 6.A provides the monthly rates that were approved for FY 2023-2024 and the proposed monthly rates for FY 2024-2025 adjusted pursuant to the index-based method and includes cost associated with the 10-year term extensions.
Commercial Collection Service Rates
City Council/RSA Agenda 179 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
An increase of 2.65% in commercial rates for landfill (solid waste), compost (organics waste), and recycle collection services is proposed for FY 2024-2025 based on the index-based only adjustment and 7.29% based on the index-based method and 10-year term extension costs. The proposed index-based only rate for a standard three cubic yard landfill bin serviced one time per week for FY 2024-2025 for commercial customers is $469.35. The proposed index-based rate that includes 10-yearextension costs is $490.56.
The recycle and compost collection service is reduced by 40% to encourage diversion from landfill. The proposed index-based only rate for a standard three cubic yard recycle or compost bin serviced one time per week for FY 2024-2025 for commercialcustomers is $281.59. The proposed index-based rate that includes 10-yearextension costs is $294.32.
Table 7 provides the rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the index-based only proposed FY 2024- 2025 rates for commercial customers for a standard three cubic yard solid waste bin. Table 7.A provides the rates that were approved FY 2023-2024 and the index-based and 10-year term extension proposed FY 2024-2025 rates for commercialcustomers for a standard three cubic yard solid waste bin.
Proposition 218 and Majority Protest Process
The City’s process to adjust contractor’s compensation, City fees, and associated rates is prescribed in the Franchise Agreements and also governed by California’s Proposition (Prop) 218. Prop 218 specifies that a property related fee must not exceed the funds required to provide the service, and revenues from the fee must not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee is imposed.
In addition, Prop 218 requires that certain procedures be followed with regard to “property-related” fee City Council/RSA Agenda 180 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
increases imposed by governmental agencies. Any agency imposing or increasing any property-related fee or charge must provide written notice to the affected property owner of record.
Attachment 1 is the draft Prop 218 Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Increase in Landfill (Solid Waste), Compost (Organic Waste), and Recycle Service Rates Effective July 1, 2024 that have been increased based on the index-based method and includes 10-year term extension costs. Attachment 2 includes Rate Schedule A – Proposed FY 2024-2025 Republic Services Residential and Commercial Landfill, Compost, and Recycle Collection Service Rates, and Rate Schedule B – Proposed FY 2024-2025 Tri-CED Recycling Collection Service Rates that have been increased based on the index-based method and includes 10-year term extension costs.
The City Council is asked to adopt a resolution approving the issuance of the Prop 218 Notice of Public Hearing to potentially increase rates for FY 2024-2025. Following adoption of the resolution, City staff will mail the notice to approximately 17,000 residential and commercial property owners in Union City. Prop 218 requires the notice be mailed at least 45 days before the public hearing which will be scheduled for the June 11, 2024 City Council meeting.
The Public Hearing Notice describes the amount of the proposed rate increases, rationale for the increase, calculation of fee, and the procedure for property owners to protest the proposed rate increases. This procedure entails submittal of written protests to the City before the close of the public hearing on June 11, 2024. In accordance with the requirements of Prop 218, a “majority protest” exists if written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels. While oral testimony will be accepted during the public hearing, these verbal objections will not be counted toward a “majority protest” since valid protests must be submitted in writing and timely. If a majority of property owners protest, then the fee cannot be adopted or increased, and the rates will remain unchanged. If a majority protest is not received, the City Council may adopt the proposed landfill (solid waste), compost (organic waste), and recycle collection service rates for FY 2024-2025. The Prop 218 noticing process is intended to provide ratepayers advance notice and an opportunity to file a formal protest regarding the proposed solid waste property related fees.
City Council approval of the issuance of the Prop 218 Notice simply allows for the rate adjustment process to proceed; it is not an approval of the proposed rates. City Council consideration to adopt the final rates will occur at the June 11, 2024 City Council meeting/public hearing, pending the results of the majority protest count. The finalapproved rates cannot exceed the rates delineated in the Prop 218 Notice issued.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds to cover the expense of preparation, printing, and mailing of the Public Hearing Notice to approximately 17,000 households and commercial customers are available in Solid Waste Management Fund Account No. 2030-1201-20021-54214. No General Fund monies will be used.
The annual adjustment to contractor’s compensation prescribed in the Franchise Agreement contributes to the generation of City fees totaling $7,949,263 in FY 2024-2025. Approximately $7,149,413 through Republic Services and $799,850 from Tri-CED will be accrued under the proposed rate schedules. It is important to note that these are unaudited, preliminary revenue figures based on comparisons of proposed past revenues and are therefore subject to change and City Council approval of the final rates to become effective July 1, 2024.

CITY OF UNION CITY
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED
LANDFILL (GARBAGE), COMPOST (ORGANIC WASTE) AND
RECYCLE COLLECTION SERVICES RATES INCREASE FOR
2024-25
The City Council will conduct a Public Hearing to consider all public comment in support of and in opposition to the proposed landfill (garbage), compost (organic waste) and recycle rates increase for Fiscal Year 2024-25 on:
June 11, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.
Council Chamber at City Hall
34009 Alvarado Niles Rd., Union City, CA
If approved, the proposed rates would become effective July 1, 2024.
Reason and Basis for the Proposed Increase in Rates
Landfill (garbage), compost (organic waste) and recycle collection services are provided to residents and businesses within the City of Union City (Union City) by Republic Services and Tri-City Economic Development Corporation (Tri-CED), who have the exclusive right to provide those services through franchise agreements with Union City. The amount the two service providers may charge for their services is regulated by the franchise agreements. This amount is adjusted each year to reflect inflationary increases in the cost to provide safe, environmentally sound, and reliable landfill, compost and recycle transportation and disposal or processing services to Union City. These costs include, without limitation, labor, fuel, transfer and landfill fees. These costs serve as the basis of the fees paid by customers, which also include amounts to cover related City expenses including, but not limited to contract and solid waste management, public education, customer service, and collection service impacts on local streets. The rates for landfill, compost and recycle collection services are proposed to increase based on a 7.29% adjustment in compensation for Republic Services attributed to inflation, disposal expense and increases associated with a contract term extension, and an 24.65% adjustment in compensation for Tri-CED attributed to inflation and increases associated with a contract term extension.
Proposed Increase: Residential Rates
Union City residential property owners currently pay for minimum curbside collection of landfill, compost and recycle by way of assessments which appear on the annual property tax statement, and this will remain unchanged for rates effective July 1, 2024.
Commencing in one-year for rates effective July 1, 2025, property owners will be directly billed for these collection services by Republic Services. The fees for basic service are based on weekly servicing of a 35-gallon landfill cart, a 64-gallon recycle cart and a 96-gallon compost cart.
Annual Assessments for Single-Family Households (3-cart weekly service) Service Type 2023/24 (Current) 2024/25 (Proposed) Annual Increase Landfill/Compost/Storm Water $504.00 $540.72 $36.72
Recycle $200.16 $249.48 $49.32
The proposed rate adjustments combined equate to $790.20 per year cost to single-family homeowners, for weekly servicing of the three (3) carts, or an increase of $86.04 per year compared to the combined annual rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
Parcelized Multi-Family properties (townhomes, condominiums) will pay for servicing of two (2) carts (landfill and recycle, no compost) based on the following proposed annual assessments.
Annual Assessments for Parcelized Multi-Family Households (2-cart weekly service) Service Type 2023/24 (Current) 2024/25 (Proposed) Annual Increase Landfill/Storm Water $337.80 $362.40 $24.60
Recycle $200.16 $249.48 $49.32
The proposed rate adjustments combined equate to $611.88 per year cost to parcelized multi-family homeowners, for weekly servicing of the two (2) carts, or an increase of $73.92 per year compared to the combined annual rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
The complete list of the proposed residential landfill, compost, and recycle collection services rates is available for viewing at:
https://www.unioncity.org/160/Rates-for-Recycling-Garbage.
Proposed Increase: Commercial Rates
An increase of 7.29% is proposed for commercial customers billed monthly by Republic Services. The table below shows the most common service levels and proposed rates if the containers are serviced one time a week.
Examples of Monthly Rates for Commercial Collection
Service Type 2023/24 (Current) 2024/25 (Proposed) Monthly Increase Landfill (3yd bin) $457.23 $490.56 $33.33
Recycle (3yd bin) $274.32 $294.32 $20.00
Compost (3yd bin) $274.32 $294.32 $20.00
Compost (64-gal cart) $50.67 $54.36 $3.69

City Council/RSA Agenda 185 Tuesday, April 23, 2024
Comments on and Protests to the Proposed Rate Adjustments The City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider approving the proposed rates on June 11, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. Any members of the public may attend the meeting to provide oral comments. Any property owner (or customer of record if different) may submit a written protest for the proposed rates. At the end of the public hearing, if written protests have been submitted on behalf of a majority of the parcels subject to the proposed rates, the City Council will not adopt the proposed rates. All protests must be in writing and include: 1) an original signature, 2) your printed name, 3) your street address or Assessor Parcel Number (APN), and 4) a statement that you protest the Proposed Rate Increase. Protests submitted by e-mail or facsimile, as well as verbal protests, will not be counted toward a “majority protest.” Written protests must be received prior to the conclusion of the public hearing to be counted. You may file a written protest in one of two ways:
1. Written Protests may be submitted by mail to:
City Clerk, City of Union City, 34009 Alvarado-Niles Road, Union City, CA 94587.
2. Written Protests may be submitted in person at the Public Hearing on June 11, 2024.
Please identify on the front of your envelope that the enclosed letter is for the “2024/25 Landfill, Compost and Recycle Collection Services Rate Increase Public Hearing.” If adopted by the City Council, the proposed rate changes will become effective on July 1, 2024 and apply to all residential parcels and commercial customers located within the City of Union City.
For additional information regarding the proposed rate increase, please call the City Manager’s office at (510) 675-5466 or email [email protected].
