TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER �1 '
DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 1997 �d
RE: REQUEST FROM CONSOLIDATED DISPOSAL SERVICES, INC. FOR ANNUAL
ADJUSTMENT OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL REFUSE RATES
Attached is a letter from Consolidated Disposal Services, Inc. (CDS) requesting an increase in
residential and commercial refuse rates. The request is in accordance with the Second Amendment
to the City's franchise agreement with CDS, as approved by the City Council in June 1996.
The Agreement specifies that the contractor is entitled to an annual rate adjustment pursuant to the
formula stated in the Second Amendment (attached). The increase requested by the contractor is
based on the rate-of-change indicated in the June 1997 Consumer Price Index (CPI) report (70%) and
the annual adjustment of landfill tipping fees established for County landfills by the Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles County(30%). The rate-of-change according to the June 1997 CPI report
is 1.7% for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area. The basic waste disposal rate established by
the County Sanitation Districts for the Puente Ells Landfill remains the same. Therefore,the formula
for an increase in the residential and commercial refuse rates is as follows:
CPI .70 x 1.7% 1.19%
+ Tipping Fees .30 x 0% 0
Rate Adjustment 1.19%
Current Rate $8.75
x % of Rate Adjustment 1 19%
Amount of Increase .104 COUNCIL. AGENDA
Current Rate $8.75 SEP 2 31997
+Amount of Increase for 95/96 $ 10
1995/96 Residential Refuse Rate $8.85
ITEM No.

Page 2.
It should be noted that these rates do not include the $.76 per month residential refuse surcharge that
went into effect in April 1993 to help defray the litigation costs associated with the Transportation
Leasing lawsuit. The actual cost to residents,including that fee would be $ 9.61 per month. The net
increase on residential refuse bill would be $.10 per month per household.
The rates for commercial refuse collection services and other services specified in the Franchise
Agreement are detailed in"Attachment A" Attached also is a copy of the June 1997 CPI report and
a copy of the Second Amendment to the City's franchise agreement with CDS.
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the request by Consolidated Disposal Services, Inc.
for a 1.19%adjustment in residential, commercial and industrial refuse rates effective September 1,
1997.

Re: Application for Adjustment of Waste Collections and Disposal Rates -
Service Year 1997/1998
Dear Mr.Tripepi:
In a letter to you dated May 20, 1997 we requested a rate adjustment based upon a CPI
adjustment for collection costs and an adjustment for charges in disposal costs.
At the time of our request, the availability of Puente Hills Landfill was diminishing, and
therefore, Consolidated was forced to seek other more costly disposal alternatives in order to
meet the need of the City of Rosemead.
At this time, we have seen a significant improvement in the ability of the Puente Hills Landfill
to accept our tonnage on a daily basis. Although it is impossible to predict whether this
improved disposal situation is sustainable in the future, we nevertheless believe it is
appropriate at this time to withdraw our request for the disposal portion of our application for
adjustment and respectfully request your favorable consideration of the collection costs (CPI)
portion of 1.2%.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve the City of Rosemead. If you have any questions
please do not hesitate to contact me, or Mr. Tom Vogt of Taormina Industries, Consolidated's
sister company since its merger with Republic Industries. Tom may be reached directly at
(714) 238-3315.
Sincerely, —"

CITY OR ROSEMEAD, a municipal corporation,hereinafter referred to as"City"and
CONSOLIDATED DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC. hereinafter referred to as "Contractor"hereby
amends that certain agreement made and entered into effective August 1, 1991 and amended
effective January 11, 1994 between the parties,hereinafter referred to as "Agreement".
NOW THEREFORE,the City and the Contractor agree as follows:
1. The second paragraph of the Agreement is hereby revised to read as follows:
The City and Contractor agree each with the other that Contractor shall
have sole right to collect, haul and dispose of all refuse and conduct a
comprehensive recycling program in the City of Rosemead for a term
commencing August 1, 1996 and expiring July 31, 2001, provided however,that
commencing August I, 1997 and every year thereafter, automatic one year
extensions shall be applied to said Agreement so that the term of this Agreement
shall thereafter remain at a constant five years, subject to the rights of the parties
to terminate the Agreement set forth in paragraph P.
2. Paragraph F- Collection Rates and Billing is hereby revised to read as follows:
F. COLLECTION RATES AND BILLING
1. The City and Contractor, as part of this Agreement, fix and determine uniform
rates that shall be charged by the Contractor for the collection and removal of
refuse. The rates thus fixed and determined shall remain in effect for the period
prescribed or until changed pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Contractor
shall not charge or collect any fees or rates other than the fees or rates thus fixed
and determined.
2. The City Council shall,not more frequently than once per year, authorize a rate
adjustment by application of the following formula and procedure to then current
rates:
1
The total rate paid by customers is comprised of two components:
A. Disposal Cost. The disposal cost component consists of tipping fees paid to
and established by operators of landfills. The Contractor has no control over the
tipping rates established by the County Sanitation District or private landfill
operators.
B. Collection Cost. The collection cost component consists of the Contractor's
costs for the collection and hauling of waste.
Collection Cost rate freeze. Contractor agrees that there will be no increase in the
collection cost component for residential customers effective prior to August I,
1997. Except for the rate freeze on the collection cost component for residential
customers, the following rate adjustment formula shall apply:
Contractor shall be entitled to rate adjustments, effective on the anniversary date
of the franchise (August 1) based upon the following formula:
.70 x increase in Consumer Price Index, A]] items, 1982-84 = 100
(Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside) from the base month
(commencing June, 1991) to the following year's comparison
month (June, 1992, June 1993, etc.) plus .30 x the percentage
change in tipping fees to arrive at the percentage adjustment to be
applied to all rates herein authorized.
Allowable adjustments, based upon tipping fees, shall be based upon the rates as
established by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District.
Example:
FACTOR %CHANGE %OVERALL COSTS TOTALS
CPI 4.7% x.70 3.29
DISPOSAL 10.00% x.30 3.00
Adjustment percentage 6.29
City and Contractor agree that the disposal cost component has been increasing as
a percentage of the overall costs of waste removal. If the Contractor's disposal
costs continue to escalate as a portion of the overall cost, Contractor may apply to
the City Council to increase the percentage of rate adjustment, currently 30%,
assigned to disposal costs. Upon the commencement of commercial Material

into account the disproportionate disposal costs associated with commercial
Materials Recovery Facility serviced accounts.

to reflect cost of living adjustments on August 1 each year of the
franchise.
