MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Utility and Franchise Committee May 1, 1987
FROM: Wayne Lowry, Finance Director �f
SUBJECT: Follow-'up to Meeting of April 8^ 1987
I was asked to review some of the figures from the Pride Disposal annual
report recently submitted to the Committee. Fred Benz asked that I
specifically look into the $140,510 interest paid figure reported under
"Other Costs . ''
I contacted Pride Disposal ' s accountant and found that $54,526 was related to
interest on equipment purchases and $94,900 was interest paid on a note
related to the purchase of the business . The intent of the annual report is
to reflect all expenses of hauling garbage in Tigard. The $94,998 is
considered an investment cost and, therefore, should be disallowed as a
reportable item.
Taking into account this adjustment and the adjustment for amortization of
$48,501 discussed in our last meeting, the rate of return on the average is
11 .0%; therefore, no adjustment for rate of return is necessary .
Mike Misnoetz conducted a phone poll in order to change the Committee' s
recommendation to a pass through of the Metro increase only . That
recommendation was tabled until the May 5, 1987 Council meeting at which time
it will be considered .

Date: May 15, 1987
To: Local Government Officials
From: Rena Cusma
Executive Officer, Metropolitan Service District
Regarding: Summary of Solid Waste Planning Project, FYI
Metro is currently initiating a major planning effort to update
the regional Solid Waste Management Plan. The emphasis of this
project is to build consensus for planning and siting of solid
waste facilities through a regional partnership comprised of
Metro, cities, counties, refuse haulers, citizens and other
affected parties.
It is intended that the updated Solid Waste Plan identify a
comprehensive solid waste management system which incorporates
the following key elements.
* Provisions for reduce, reuse, recycle, recover,
diversion and landfill.
* Locations and types of necessary facilities.
* Consistency between the Solid Waste Management Plan,
local land use plans and state programs.
* Defined roles and responsibilities for the ongoing
cooperative regional partnership to implement and
update the plan.
* Continued citizen participation in plan development and
implementation.
* Recognition of a system that is regionally balanced,
cost effective, technically feasible and
environmentally and publicly acceptable.
The plan will include, and use as a basis, the recently adopted
Waste Reduction Program (May, 1986) . Further, it will be
developed as a functional plan in accordance with ORS 268.390,
Metro Ordinance No.86-207 and Resolution No. 87-740. These
documents designate solid waste as appropriate for development of
a functional plan.
HISTORY- OF THE REGIONAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Solid Waste Management Plan currently consists of two
documents including the Solid Waste Management Action Plan,
adopted in 1974, and the Solid Waste Reduction Program, adopted
in 1986. Since adoption of these documents by the Metro Council,
a comprehensive update and integration of these documents has not
been completed. An update is needed because the Solid Waste
Management Action Plan document is out of date, waste management
priorities have changed, and an adversary instead of cooperative
relationship has developed in siting solid waste facilities.
The 1974 Solid Waste Management Action Plan examined four
options for management of the region's waste. The recommended
option was a system of four milling and transfer stations,
sanitary landfills and recovery of ferrous metals and corrugated
paper for resale to markets. The milling stations would reduce
the waste to a homogenous mass of small pieces. Magnetic
separators would be used to reclaim ferrous metals. If proven
economical, conveyor belts would be added to hand-pick corrugated
paper. -The remaining waste would be shipped to a sanitary
landfill.
After adoption of this alternative, the Metro Council amended the
Solid Waste Management Action Plan by reducing the number of
milling and transfer stations from four to two, plus one transfer
station in Washington County. The Solid Waste Management Action
Plan also identified criteria for locating solid waste facilities
and general locations for the facilities.
The 1986 Waste Reduction Program consists of three

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council April 13, 1987
FROM: Wayne Lowry, Finance Director
I'/(-//
SUBJECT: METRO Solid Waste Disposal Fee Increase and Rate Setting Procedure
As requested by City Council, the Utility and Franchise Committee developed a
rate setting procedure to be used as a tool in evaluating garbage rates for
solid waste disposal. The procedure was presented to Council on
February 17, 1987. Council referred the rate review procedure to the Finance
Director for further review and evaluation.
I have reviewed the rate setting procedure developed by the Utility and
Franchise Committee. I have also reviewed the annual reports filed by the
franchise solid waste haulers, and the City Attorney' s memo dated
February 23, 1987.
The procedure, as presented to the Council in February, is a useful tool in
evaluating the average rate of return of the Franchise Solid Waste Haulers,
and thereby evaluating the adequacy of the rates charged to Tigard citizens
for garbage collection.
The results of the rate review procedure should not be the determining factor
alone, but should be considered along with other data such as the rates
charged to surrounding areas, the degree of service provided, and the
soundness of management of the garbage haulers themselves.
The Utility and Franchise Committee has completed a preliminary review of the
Annual Reports submitted by the garbage haulers and has determined that no
increase is necessary at this time. The Committee would like to again submit
the rate review procedure to the Council as a basic tool to be used by the
Committee in reviewing garbage rates . The Committee intends to further refine
the procedure to incorporate other factors in addition to the rate of return
and will., at that time, submit the finalized procedure to Council .
Although no adjustment in rates is necessary at this time to provide a
reasonable rate of return to garbage haulers, the Utility and Franchise
Committee has recommended to the City Council an increase in garbage rates of
$. 15 per can to allow garbage haulers to pass through the Metropolitan Service
District solid waste dumping fee increase that became effective April 1, 1987.

T
ict9ll�er Disposal at the St. Johns Landfill will cost $16.70 per
Larry cooper ton for commercial haulers and $3.50 per cubic yard for

G
Distrary ict n Hansen Metro encourages, however , the use of alternative
Executive Officer facilities, wherever possible. The Metro User Fee or the
Rena Cusma Regional Transfer Charge will be imposed according to the
enclosed table.
The increase to commercial haulers at the St. Johns
Landfill and CTRC is $2.32 per ton. The change translates
to about 20¢ per month extra for one-can-per-week
collection service to residences, $2.75 per month for
two-cubic-yard-per-week service to businesses, and $6.00
per 20-yard drop box. The rates are higher due to waste
reduction and diversion measures designed to increase the
life of the St. Johns Landfill. Disposal is one cost
incurred by haulers. Insurance, fuel, labor and other
costs should also be considered in evaluating collectors'
costs- You will need to examine the increase or decrease
of each factor on the collection rates in your individual
community.

McConaghy at 221-1646. If you would like to discuss the
impacts of this disposal rate increase on collection fees
which you regulate, we would welcome the opportunity to
meet with you and the hauler (s) in your area.

Dear Committee Members :
I will be in Florida during your May 6 meeting. However, I
would like to add the following for consideration and discussion.
The rate review function determining proper garbage rates still
needs some work. Further analyzing some of the figures from
namely Pride Disposal brings up a critical point as to interest
paid for the purchase of stock and/or assets. The criteria in
our reporting procedure needs to be further defined. The
purchase of assets I feel would be deductible; however, the
purchase of capital stock or treasury stock should not be
included as expense. The amortization of goodwill and records/
accounts, etc. should not be included as an expense for review
purposes .
The waste haulers by ordinance are entitled to the pass-through
of Metro' s disposal fees. I request our committee chairman
reactivate the Rate Review Committee for further refinement
of the criterias used in reporting.
Yours truly,
. McReynolds
