R 4930RESOLUTION NO. 4930
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE ESTABLISHING INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE RATES FOR JULY 1, 2019, JANUARY 1, 2020 AND JANUARY 1, 2021
WHEREAS, the City of Arroyo Grande (“City”) establishes rates and charges for solid waste, recycling and green waste collection services, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 40059
(a) and Arroyo Grande Municipal Code §§ 8.32.100 and 8.32.210; and
WHEREAS, the City and South County Sanitary Service, Inc. (“SCSS”) entered into a Franchise Agreement for collection, diversion and disposal of solid waste, dated November 12, 1997 (“Prior
Solid Waste Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the City and SCSS entered into a subsequent amendment, modifying certain provisions of the Prior Solid Waste Agreement, dated March 23, 1999, requiring collection, diversion
and disposal of green waste; and
WHEREAS, the City and SCSS also entered into a Recycling Services Franchise Agreement, dated August 24, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the City and SCSS further entered into an Amended and Restated Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement, dated June 10, 2008, which amended and restated the Prior Solid Waste
Agreement and incorporated, amended and restated the Prior Recycling Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City and SCSS also entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Collection Agreement, dated March 22, 2016, which excluded tipping fee increases
for landfill improvements, when calculating whether the SCSS rates charged to customers are greater than the cumulative cost of living increase; and
WHEREAS, the City and SCSS also entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Collection Agreement, dated July 26, 2016, which amended the franchise agreement
to extend the contract by 20 years, beginning with the first day of the operation of a new Kompogas organic processing facility; and
WHEREAS, SCSS has submitted a rate increase application (the “application”) in accordance with the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the application has been comprehensively reviewed in accordance with the City’s rate-setting policies; and
WHEREAS, the rate increase request compared with the rate in effect at the date of the agreement exceeds the cumulative cost of living increase from that same date, giving the
City the option of terminating the SCSS Franchise Agreement at any time within nine months following approval of the requested rate increase ("the trigger option"); and
WHEREAS, based on a detailed review of costs, which concludes costs are reasonable and that rates have been calculated in accordance with the Rate Manual, combined with the fact that
rates for Arroyo Grande are among the lowest in the Central Coast area for single family residential services, during this fee increase period only, and in this unique circumstance,
the City will not pursue the "trigger" option per Section 8. 3 of the City' s Franchise Agreement with South County Sanitary Services.
WHEREAS, notices of the proposed rate increase were sent to property owners and tenants in accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218 and a public hearing was held on June 25,
2019 to consider protests against the proposed rate increase; and
WHEREAS, it was determined at the conclusion of the public hearing that a majority protest to the proposed rate increase did not exist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande as follows:
The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by their reference.
The application for a rate increase is hereby approved and the integrated solid waste, recycling and green waste collection service rates set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and
incorporated herein shall become effective on July 1, 2019.
