SELECT A SOLID WASTE RATE MODEL AND CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO ADJUST SOLID WASTE RATES BASED ON THE SLECTED RATE MODEL INCLUDING A ONE- PERCENT INCREASE IN THE SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE FEE (PUBLIC COMMENT TO BE HEARD PRIOR TO COUNCIL CONSIDERATION) Staff Report: Public Works Business Manager Michelle Wright and Consultant Chris Bell of Bell& Associates were present. Public Works Business Manager Wright reviewed the staff report. Council discussed solid waste rate and franchise fee adjustments at its March 19,2013,workshop meeting. During that meeting the council requested the following additional information: • The number of customers in each service type. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—APRIL 23,2013 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 10 i 1 1 • Cost of service, fixed rate and commercial subsidy rate models. • Rate comparison with neighboring jurisdictions. This additional information was included in the written staff report. The mayor referred to the sign-in sheet that was available to anyone who wanted to comment on the adjustment to the solid waste rates. No one signed in to speak and the mayor asked if there was anyone present who wanted to speak on this matter. There was no testimony. During discussion with staff on the proposed options,Mayor Cook,Council President Henderson, Councilor Buehner and Councilor Woodard indicated support for Option 1,which was the cost-of- service rate model. 10 Councilor Snider said he favored Option 3,the commercial subsidy rate model,because it had a lesser impact on residential customers. He said Option 3 appears to be the most equitable with regard to sharing the increase in rates. 18 Mayor Cook and Council President Henderson commented on why they favored Option 1, noting their preference was to stay away from subsidizing commercial service. Ultimately,the consumer pays the commercial rate increases because businesses will pass these costs through by charging more for goods and services. All three options included a 1 percent increase in the solid waste franchise fee. The increase will bring the total franchise fee up to 5 percent,which is consistent with other city franchise fees. Staff estimated the increase will generate $90,000 annually. During discussion,Consultant Bell confirmed for council that there has been no rate increase to the solid waste rates in Tigard for seven years. 12 Motion by Councilor Woodard, seconded by Council President Henderson,to select Option 1 and adopt Resolution No. 13-18. RESOLUTION NO. 13-18 -A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A NEW SOLID WASTE RATE SCHEDULE AND DIRECTING CITY STAFF TO ADJUST THE SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE FEE The motion was approved by a majority vote of City Council present: Mayor Cook Yes Council President Henderson Yes Councilor Buehner Yes Councilor Snider No Councilor Woodard Yes TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—APRIL 23,2013 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 10 I 0 8.
