Subject:Adopt a Resolution to set a Public Hearing date for proposed increases to
recycling and trash service rates.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution to set a Public Hearing date for proposed increases to recycling and trash
service rates.
Executive Summary
Coast Waste Management, Inc.is the exclusive provider of residential and commercial recycling
and trash solid waste services in the City of Carlsbad. The current contract establishes the
recycling and trash service rates, effective July 1,2012, and allowed for annual adjustments to
be made through fiscal year (FY)2016-17 as part of the Master Fee schedule during the city's
budget adoption process.A Public Hearing is required for FY 2017-18 for future rate increases
under Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Proposition 218. Staff recommends setting the
Public Hearing date for June 13, 2017.
Discussion
The City of Carlsbad provides recycling and trash solid waste services to its residents and
businesses as outlined in Section 6.08 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. These services are
provided through an exclusive contract with Coast Waste Management,Inc. The current
contract was approved by the City Council in February 2012, per Resolution No. 2012-033. The
contract established residential, commercial and multi-family rates for various recycling and
trash services, effective July 1,2012. Per the terms of the contract, the rates may be adjusted
annually through FY 2016-17 as part of the city's budget adoption process. Rates may be
increased in accordance with two items:1)the annual change in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), All Urban Customers,San Diego All Items, and 2) increases based on the disposal rates at
the Palomar Transfer Station in Carlsbad,CA.
A Public Hearing is required for FY 2017-18 for future rate increases. Rate increases are being
proposed, effective July 1,2017. Staff is recommending residential, commercial and multi-
family recycling and trash rates may be adjusted and adopted annually through the FY 2021-22
as part of the city's budget process, consistent with prior practice. This date coincides with
expiration of the Coast Waste Management, Inc. contract, set for June 30, 2022. The term of
the current contract is 10 years with an optional three-year extension. Exhibit 2 provides the
rates that, if approved, will go into effect on July 1, 2017.
Item #2 April 25, 2017 Page 1 of 14
Fiscal Analysis
The franchise fee paid to the city by Coast Waste Management,Inc. is 7.5 percent of revenues
collected, and is deposited into the city's General Fund to help fund general governmental
services. Assembly Bill 939 (AB 939) allows the city to collect revenue to fund the recycling and
trash program.The City of Carlsbad collects an AB939 fee of 2.0 percent which is allocated to
the Solid Waste Fund. This fee helps fund the recycling and trash program. While the
percentages will remain the same, increased recycling and trash fees will result in increased
revenues collected to both the General Fund and the Solid Waste Fund.
If the new rates are approved, the anticipated annual increase in revenue will be approximately
$20,000 to the General Fund from franchise fees, and approximately $5,000 to the Solid Waste
Fund from the AB 939 fee.
The table below represents a comparison to the rates for the most common usage within each
of the primary service types:
Fiscal Year Proposed Fiscal Year PercentageService Type
2016/17 Rate 2017/18 Rate Change
Residential (64 or 96 Gallon)$ 20.82 $ 21.04 1.1%
Commercial:
(Three Yard Bin -once per week)
Trash $107.65 $108.89 1.2%
Recycling $77.61 $78.60 1.2%
Next Steps
Hold a Public Hearing on June 13, 2017, for the proposed rate structure and rate increases, and
if approved, the proposed rates would be effective July 1,2017.

Public Hearings related to property-related new or increased fees and charges, such as recycling

requirement of Proposition 218, which was passed by California voters in 1996 to limit methods
Item #2 April 25, 2017 Page 2 of 14
by which local governments can create or increase taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer
consent. Any person interested in objecting to the increases may file a signed written protest

About Recycling and Trash services and rates
The City of Carlsbad provides recycling and trash solid waste services to its residents and businesses as outlined in Section 6.08
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. These services are provided through a contract with Coast Waste Management. The contract
was approved by the City Council in February 2012. This contract established residential, commercial and multi-family rates for
various recycling and trash services, effective July 1,2012. The residential solid waste services include the weekly collection of
trash, recyclables and green waste. The commercial solid waste services include collection of trash, recyclables and green waste
as frequently as scheduled by the customer, but not less than once per week. Coast Waste Management provides and maintains
the recyding and trash carts and bins.
The contract provides a mechanism for increasing rates utilizing the annual increase in the following items:
1.The annual change in the Consumer Price Index, or "CPI,"All Urban Customers, San Diego All Items;
2.Change in the monthly amount paid by the contractor for the facility use; and
3.Increases on the disposal rates at the Palomar Transfer Station in Carlsbad, CA.
Coast Waste Management guarantees that throughout the term of the contract that the contractor's net rate for Single-Family
residential Cart Collection Service (for a 64 or 96 gallon cart) and Contractor's net rate for Multi-Family and Commercial Bin
Collection Service (for a three-yard bin picked up once per week) will be in the lowest third of net rates being charged for similar
services in all cities in San Diego County using a franchised collection system.
Rate increases are being proposed, effective July 1,2017.
How are Recycling and Trash rates calculated?
Under the terms of the contract, rate adjustments during the next five years, through fiscal year 2021-22,will be made as follows:
A. Service Component-The service component of each rate is adjusted annually based on the annual change in the Consumer
Price Index -All Urban Consumers, San Diego All Items for the prior year, weighted at 90 percent.
B.Occupancy Component-The Occupancy Component of each rate is adjusted based on the change in the monthly amount
paid by the Contractor for facility use associated with this Contract.
C.Disposal Component -The Disposal Component of each rate shall be adjusted to reflect the change in the applicable tip fee at
the Palomar Transfer Station,as approved by the city.
D. Franchise Fee/AB 939 Fee Component-The Franchise Fee (7.5 percent)/AB 939 fee (2 percent) portion of each rate is set at
9.5 percent of the total of the Service Rate plus the Occupancy Rate plus the Disposal Component plus the Franchise Fee.
E.Storm Water Component -The Storm Water Component of each rate is not increasing.
About trash rates and the proposed increases
The current monthly trash rate for all single-family customers is $21.04. The proposed rate will vary depending on the size of
the trash container selected by the customer. Residents may either select a 64 or 96 gallon trash container at a proposed rate of
$21.04 per month, or a 35 gallon trash container at the proposed rate of $19.07 per month. The rate is onlyaffected by the size of
the trash container.
The rates for multi-family and commercial customers will depend on the size of the bin, the type of material collected and the
frequency of collection. The rates will increase between 1.2 percent and 1.7 percent from the current rates.
