CityCouncil | 2013-07-02 | 8 | Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft questioned if the City is trying to encourage people to use less garbage then should not the price of a 64 gallon container be twice the price of a 32 gallon container; stated there seems to be a discount for having more garbage; inquired if 64 gallon customers could help subsidize other rates. In response to Councilmember Chen's comments about a 10% increase across the board, the Public Works Director stated a 10% increase across the board would get ACI the revenue projected; stated a 20 gallon may cost $40 to service, however the rate is remaining lower to encourage recycling. The City Manager recommended continuing the item to the next Council meeting on July 23rd to offer the consultants time to provide the additional information the Council is requesting. Councilmember Daysog concurred with the City Manager; stated additional information would be helpful, particularly with regard to how depreciation is characterized and how depreciation affects the need for rate increases.
