AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF POW A Y
TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City
FROM: James L. Bowersox, city Mana~ .
INITIATED BY: Alan D. Archibald, Director of Public services~
DATE: December 18, 1990
SUBJECT: Resolution Modifvina the Permit Fee for the
Collection of Solid Wastes
BACKGROlJND
In October 1984, the city Council adopted Ordinance No. 121 to
regulate garbage and refuse collection within the City through a
permit process, Pursuant to Ordinance No. 121, the Council also
adopted Resolution No. 84-106 establishing the permit fees and
performance bond levels for the refuse collection permittees. The
fees were established to cover the City's cost of administering the
trash collection within the city. The fees have not been modified
since 1984,
FINDINGS
- with the passage of AB 939, the State has required all cities and
counties to prepare an "Integrated Waste Management Plan" by July
1, 1991. To minimize the City'S costs, staff plans to coordinate
our efforts with the County's efforts, A joint consultant will be
hired to streamline the process and better coordinate the County-
wide pIan, The estimated cost for the City'S portion of the plan
is $50-75,000. To help fund this work, the County has agreed to
assist all the cities in the County at a 50 cents per capita rate,
or $22,000 for Poway,
In order to fund the costs for the study, the permit fees for the
collection of solid waste should be increased. In 1984, the permit
fee was established at $1,000 per year, plus $2.00 per account, To
fund the study and to continue to cover the city's administrative
costs, the fees should be increased to $2,000 per year, plus $4.00
per residential customer, and $50.00 per commercial customer,
The level of effort to implement the Integrated Waste Management
Plan, once it is completed, is unknown at this time. However, the
permit fee can either be reduced or increased in future years to
offset these costs.
