| SUBJECT: |
| An Ordinance Amending Section 9-1(L) of the Gillette City Code to Increase the Refuse Collection Fees for Solid Waste Pickup. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Ordinance second reading: 6/0
Ordinance first reading: 7/0
Review of the Solid Waste revenue requirements to maintain the stability of this Enterprise Fund has resulted in a recommendation for an overall revenue increase of 4.5%.Currently the rate for residential customers receiving one pickup per week is $17.20 for trash and $9.00 per month for eight months for yard waste. It is recommended that those rates increase to $17.65 and $9.60 respectively. All of the rates will be impacted by the additional revenue need, but the impact to the typical residential customer would be about a 3% increase for trash and a little under 7% for yard waste. These increases will take effect for bills dated after May 1, 2013. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I move for the Approval of an Ordinance Amending Section 9-1(L) of the Gillette City Code to Increase the Refuse Collection Fees for Solid Waste Pickup on third and final reading. |
