PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION - Eliminating the Benton Landfill Closure Fund Surcharge and amending the
Solid Waste Rate Schedule & Service Poli~ies; and
RESOLUTION - Appropriating funds for the Solid Waste Utility
(S-020-500/S-020-300/B-130-0'70)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Pohlmeyer opened the public hearing to
consider eliminating the Benton Landfill Closure Fund Surcharge and substituting a rate I
increase in the same 'amount to offset s'treet sweeping costs and appropriating funds for the
Solid Waste Utility to purchase two street sweepers, hire two Truck Driver II positions, and
transfer street sweeping responsibility from the Storm Drain Utility to the Solid Waste
Utility.
The following document is on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Assistant City Clerk Sherman advised that no protests were received.
Assistant City Manager Perry recalled that implementation ofN ational Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process requirements and the burden those
requirements would place on Storm Drain Utility funds have been discussed with City
Council in the past. Mr. Perry explained that the Storm Drain Utility must raise an additional
$1 million annually to meet NPDES requirements, and additional monies to address deferred
maintenance and inadequate staffing issues to keep up with increased obligations. Increasing
the monthly storm drain fee is the most direct option, but would require 2/3 voter approval.
He related, however, an alternative to holding an election is to transfer duties between the
Storm Drain Utility and the Solid Waste Utility that will not represent a reduction in services
or result in a cost increase to customers.
I
To that end, staff recommends that a resolutioQ. be adopted transferring street sweeping
responsibilities from the Storm Drain Utility to the Solid Waste Utility which will require
the purchase of two streyt sweepers and the hiring of two drivers (one to be transferred from
the Storm Drain Utility), that the Benton Landfill Closure Surcharge be eliminated, but Solid
Waste rates be increased by an equal amount to pay for the transfer of street sweeping
obligations. Mr. Perry emphasized that imp~ementation ofthese changes will tak,e eff~ct July
1, 2004, and will result in no increase in costs to the customer. He further recommended that
a resolution be adopted appropriating funds in the amount of $770, 020, to cover the costs
of the street sweepers and Truck Drivers II.
Mayor Pohlmeyer determined that no one present wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kight, seconded by Council Member Mathena,
adopting Resolution No. 2004-61, a resolution of the City Council ofthe City of Redding
eliminating the Benton Landfill Closure Fun4 Surcharge and substituting a rate increase by
amending the Solid Waste Rate Schedule and Service Policies (Exhibit A) in the same
amount to offset street sweeping costs, effe~tive July 1, 2004.
It is further recommended that Resolution No. 2004-62 be adopted, a resolution of the City I
Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 45th amendment to City Budget
Resolution No. 2003-103 appropriating $770,020 for fiscal year 2004-05 for the Solid Waste
