Resolution 12607CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 126.0,7
ESTABLISHING 1995 AND 1996 GARBAGE RATES
WHEREAS, in 1982 the City of Alameda entered into an
agreement with the Oakland Scavenger Company, now known as Waste
Management of Alameda County, for garbage collection for a 20-
year period; and
WHEREAS, a Joint Refuse Rate Review Committee,
comprised of representatives from local jurisdictions and special
districts with franchise agreements with Waste Management of
Alameda County reviews all rate increase applications; and
WHEREAS, the Joint Refuse Rate Review Committee has
requested Waste Management of Alameda County to submit a two-year
rate application covering the term of January 1995 to December
1996; and
WHEREAS, it has been found that the senior discount
should be increased from ten percent (10%) to fifteen percent
(15%) and funded through a five cent ($.05) increase in the
surcharge placed on each additional can; and
WHEREAS, it has been found that the revenue generated
by the various surcharges for the annual clean-up maintenance of
the Doolittle Landfill, and for garage service in City park
facilities continues to be needed to cover expenses; and

collection rates approved by this resolution provide Waste
Management of Alameda County with a reasonable rate of return;
and

on February 20, 1990, states that all subsequent rates for
collection and disposal of garbage and refuse shall be set by
Resolution of the City Council; and

on May 4, 1993, states that all subsequent changes to the method
of collection of surcharges shall be set by Resolution of the
City Council.
