MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Director of Utilities & Maintenance
SUBJECT: Coast Waste Refuse Contract
I met with Arie De Jong on September 4, 1980 to discuss the revised
Collection contract, based on Council discussions of August 26. He
indicated the following:
I. He recognized that the revised contract called for a 2% service
fee; however, in view of the fact that he will not request a rate
increase for one year (September 1981), he believes that the
service fee should be waived for the same period of time on the
basis that imposing the fee now will result in a net loss in
revenue of about $20,000 for the coming year. He did not
believe it was the Council's intent that he lose money by his
action of retaining the same rates.
2. Resclution No. 5552, that sets the present rates, is not clear,
nor Is it current as it pertains to the charges for drag -on box
service. He requested the particular paragraph be revised to
reflect current dump charges.
DISCUSSION:
1. The agenda bill and memorandum presented for discussion to Council
was quite clear in indicating that the revised contract would
impose a 2% service fee. Additionally, Mr. De Jong was advised
prior to the meeting that the 2% would affect his revenues by
reducing his per unit revenue. The specific issue did not come up
during Council discussion so I'm not able to make a judgment as to
whether or not it was their intent to impose the 2% service fee now
or at a later time. I have revised the agreement as per Mr. De
Jong's wishes; however, the matter should be brought to Council's
attention prior to their approval of the agreement.
2. The concern for the rate resolution is appropriate and I have
revised the paragraph relating to drag -on boxes. All other charges
are as they appear in Resolution No. 5552. Additionally, I have
included a paragraph relating to the Plaza Camino Real mall in
order that rates charged there will not be arbitrarily adjusted by
Coast Waste but can only be changed at the time and by the same
amount as any other change to the basic resolution.
The revised agreement and rate resolution are attached.
