Mayor Cafagna requested Item No. 5 be heard at this time.
ITEM 5 (602-01 #1031)
EDCO WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES
ADJUSTMENT TO RATES SCHEDULE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The solid waste franchise agreement with
EDCO Waste and Recycling Services allows EDCO to submit an application for a rate
review once a year, when necessitated by an increase in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) or a change in landfill disposal costs. There was a 3.6% change in the CPI over
the previous year, and solid waste disposal fees will increase 1.46% as a result of
annual fee adjustments in the Regional Solid Waste Association's (RSWA) Disposal
Agreement, to which Poway is a party. EDCO proposed as adjustment to commercial
and roll-off rates, effective July 1, 2002, and no change to residential rates for the
second year in a row. Poway commercial customers on multiple days of service pay the
lowest rates in San Diego County, and will continue to do so under the proposed rate
schedule. The rate structure will continue to provide an economic incentive for higher
volume waste generators in the commercial/industrial sector to recycle.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to adopt
Resolution No. 02-053, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway,
California Approving an Adjustment to EDCO Waste and Recycling Services' Rate
Schedule Pursuant to the Provisions of the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement, and
Rescinding Resolution No. 01-045." Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember Higginson
absent.
