These vehicles provide service to single-family homes and commercial bin custc Palomar Transfer Station is operating at or near its permitted capacity of 800 TPD on we( therefore accepts only collection vehicles Monday - Friday. Due to the permitted capacity limitations, one class of service, roll-off boxes, is not ser Palomar Transfer Station, but is rather hauled directly to a disposal site, primarily tht Landfill near Santee. This has substantially increased transportation costs, and as such C Management has requested an increase. Staff has reviewed the request, negotiated with Coast Waste Management staff, a consensus on a reasonable roll-off rate increase. The current rate is $157.24 plus dispoi The proposed rate is $255.56 (plus disposal), an increase of 62.5%. While this substantial, the proposed rate is comparable to the rates of roll-off boxes in two citr affected by the increased transportation distance, Vista and San Marcos. Those rates are Vista $248.95 San Marcos $254.30 While these rates are slightly lower than those proposed by Coast Waste, it is important each of these cities employ a tiered rate system, with those roll-off boxes contair construction debris being charged an additional $22.85 - $34.10. Coast Waste does not I surcharge be assessed based on type of waste. FISCAL IMPACT The recommended action will result in an increase in the solid waste service fee for roll-off $157.24 to $255.56 (62.5%), leaving fees for all other classes of service unchanged increase will result in corresponding increases in the franchise and AB 939 fees for the r( of service. However, roll-off boxes do not represent a large portion of solid waste servia the total impact will not be significant. EXHIBITS 1.
