Waste Management of the Desert letter dated May 26, 2006, regarding additional revenues generated by the 100% PPI rate increase, with Exhibits 5A, 5B, and 5C rate sheets 2. Waste Management of the Desert letter dated May 16, 2006, requesting 100% PPI increase and one-year extension of franchise agreement 3. Waste Management of the Desert letter dated May 16, 2006, requesting an extension of the contract variance granted August 25, 2005, relative to replacement of alternative fuel vehicles 4. Resolution No. 06-103 5. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index reflecting an increase of 5.6% for 2006 RECOMMENDATION: 1) Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 06-103 , approving the new adjusted rate schedule of fees (Exhibits 5A, 5B, and 5C) for the collection, recycling, and disposal of municipal solid waste and residential/commercial recycling contained in Contract No. C17230 - Solid Waste Management Services; 2) By Minute Motion, approve a one-year extension of the Waste Management of the Desert (WMD) franchise agreement to February 28, 2009; 3) By Minute Motion, approve an amendment to the existing franchise agreement with WMD to provide for an automatic annual 100% PPI increase versus the 50% currently approved; 4) By Minute Motion, approve a second time extension of the agreement with WMD (to June 30, 2006) for replacement of CNG trucks destroyed by fire and direct staff to implement the $100/day fee thereafter until the trucks are replaced and in service. BACKGROUND: The current franchise agreement allows Waste Management of the Desert (WMD) to apply for an annual rate increase of 50% of PPI; however, VVMD is requesting that the agreement be amended CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT JUNE 22, 2006 RE: CONSIDERATION OF REQUESTS BY WASTE MANAGEMENT OF THE DESERT FOR APPROVAL OF ANNUAL PRODUCER PRICE INDEX (PPI) RATE INCREASE, ONE- YEAR EXTENSION OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, AND EXTENSION OF TIME FOR REPLACEMENT OF SIX ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES DESTROYED BY FIRE to provide for an extension to February 28, 2009, and a 100% of PPI increase (5.6% for 2006). If approved, the rate increases for residential customers will depend on the type of service, size of container, and number of weekly pickups (a residential customer with a 96-gallon container will pay approximately $.50 more per month). This increase will generate revenue of approximately $104,766 in Fiscal Year 2005/2006, $147,396 in Fiscal Year 2006/2007, and $207,270 in Fiscal Year 2007/2008, for a total of approximately $459,432, which would allow WMD to recoup the costs to implement the automated collection system. The estimated capital outlay to implement this system is $2.1 million, which would include 24,000 refuse and recycling carts as well as five (5) trucks. (It should be noted that the trucks more than likely are not for Palm Desert use only.) As indicated in the letters from WMD, it was their belief that the amendments for the time extension and 100% of PPI increase had been approved last year; however, none of the official records reflect that approval. Neither of these items was brought forward by staff last year; however, staff is supporting WMD's request this year and recommending that the City Council amend the franchise agreement accordingly (see Exhibits 5A, 5B, and 5C). This increased percentage is consistent with other cities and other franchises. Additionally, at its meeting of August 25, 2005, the City Council approved a six-month extension, or variance, (through February 2006) for replacement of the six (6) WMD alternative fuel trucks destroyed by fire in 2005. This issue was adcressed as part of Mr. Ezzet's report regarding the Assignment of the Franchise Agreement to Burrtec, and WMD has submitted an official request for a second time extension. The recommendation in Mr. Ezzet's report was to grant an extension to June 30, 2006, (or approve an alternate date) and to apply a $100/day fee for each day thereafter until the vehicles are replaced and in service. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the new adjusted rate schedule of fees for the collection, recycling, and disposal of municipal solid waste and residential/commercial recycling as outlined in Exhibits 5A, 5B, and 5C of the May 26, 2006, letter from WMD, approve a one-year extension of the franchise agreement to February 28, 2009, approve an amendment to the existing franchise agreement to provide for an automatic annual 100% PPI increase, approve a second time extension of the agreement for replacement of CNG trucks destroyed by fire, and direct staff to implement the $100/day fee thereafter until the trucks are replaced and in service.

On May 24, 2005 Waste Management of the Desert (WM) and City staff met to discuss the implementation of mandatory residential automation in gated communities. During the discussion, WM proposed several changes to the existing franchise agreement in order for WM to recover the additional capital cost of the implementation (follow up correspondence attached). The items were; exercise of the one year option giving WM 3.8 years remaining on the contract, changing the annual PPI increase from 50% to 1001/6 for the remainder of the term, and an increase for `walk in' service due to additional time required. Staff (Mr. Kohn) indicated to WM at that meeting that the request was justified and they would bring it to council for consideration. On June 23, 2005 the City council approved Ordinance No 1094 requiring automated recycling at all single-family residential units. The staff report for Ordinance No 1094 (Discussion, paragraph 6) outlines Waste Management's requested contract changes. The Ordinance passed. At the same council meeting, a rate increase request for 100% PPI and an increase in the `walk in' service fee (Resolution 05-51) was approved. In the Resolution staff report, City staff referenced that the 100% PPI was related to the cost of the automated recycling implementation. It was represented to Waste Management by Mr. Kohn that City Council approved the requested contract changes outlined in the Staff report of Ordinance No 1094. We respectfully request City Council approve said changes as intended. I would be happy to discuss this request at your earliest convenience.

As we also discussed, Waste Managements' capital outlay for this project will be approximately $2.1 million for refuse and recycling carts, (24,000) and for the purchase of five collection vehicles. Our current Franchise Agreement with the City expires on February 28, 2008, leaving two years and eight months. The typical residential automated cart and collection vehicles are amortized over an eight -year period. Since we do not have eight years remaining on our current agreement, Waste Management would respectfully request the City to consider several changes to the current agreement as follows: ® The City to exercise its option of a one-year extension in accordance with ARTICLE 2.4. This will increase the remainder of the term to 3.8 years. ® The City to allow Waste Management to receive 100% of PPI for the remainder of the term vs. 50%. This request is to help cover the additional capital expense due to the limited years remaining in the agreement. Also, please note that the PPI for Natural Gas (index attached) has increased 69% from December 2002 through December 2004. Because Of the additiona.i labor cost for back yard service, we also request co inc.-ease the current rate for walk-in service from $3.87 a month to $8.20. VWFA7- � WASTE MANAGEMENT Attached for your review and comment, is an updated rate sheet incorporating the change to 100% of PPI, the new walk in rate of $8.20 and the anticipated disposal increase of $.46 a ton at the Edom Hill Transfer Station. For further discussion on these issues, please let me know when it will be most convenient to meet with you and other City staff.
