HomeMy WebLinkAboutAdopt Resolution 2021-05 - Increasing Residential Trash Rate a City of Huntington Beach File #: 20-2112 MEETING DATE: 1/19/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY: Sean Crumby, Director of Public Works Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2021-05 Increasing Residential Trash Rates Effective February 1, 2021, and Ratifying the Methodology for Future Rate Adjustments Statement of Issue: A change in state law effective January 1, 2020, requires the City's solid waste and recycling service provider, Rainbow/Republic Services, to recycle residential green waste differently so that the City remains compliant with state-mandated recycling targets. This change in green waste recycling has resulted in additional post-collection processing costs, and the additional recycling will cost $0.98 per household per month. In order to remain compliant with state recycling mandates it is necessary to for Rainbow/Republic to provide and the City to pay for the additional green waste recycling. In order to maintain a balanced Refuse Fund, Public Works is proposing to increase the residential trash rate to the customers by the same amount, $0.98 per household per month. Financial Impact: If the rate is approved as proposed, there is no net impact to the Refuse Fund (50400504). For the balance of the current fiscal year, additional revenue of approximately $233,700 will be collected and additional expense of the same amount will be paid to Rainbow/Republic Services for contract services. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2021-05, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adjusting and Ratifying Residential Trash Rates by the Formula Established in the Revised and Restated Refuse Collection and Disposal Services Franchise Agreement," increasing the Residential Trash Rate $0.98 per household per month effective February 1, 2021, and ratifying the methodology for future rate adjustments. Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt Resolution No. 2021-05 and do not increase the residential trash rate, or direct staff to increase the rate in an amount different than proposed. Approve a commensurate appropriation to the Refuse Fund from other City funds if necessary. City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 4 Printed on 1/13/2021 power) LegistarT" File #: 20-2112 MEETING DATE: 1/19/2021 Analysis: The City of Huntington Beach is required by state law to meet diversion requirements for the solid waste stream. Amongst these requirements are the need to divert residential yard waste. Historically, most of the green material collected from Huntington Beach households was ground, sifted, and taken to the landfill, where it was applied to the top of each day's disposal as a cap layer to seal off odors and pests. This method of reusing green material at the landfill is called Alternative Daily Cover (ADC). ADC was beneficial to the landfill operator, and the landfill supported the practice by accepting this material at no charge. AB 1594 amended sections of the Public Resources Code relating to Solid Waste programs administered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). Effective January 1, 2020, ADC lost the beneficial reuse designation. While the County can continue to accept this material and use ADC in its daily landfill operations, the new designation adversely affected Huntington Beach in the following ways: 1. On January 1, the County began charging haulers for ADC material formerly accepted at no charge. For Rainbow/Republic Services, this represents a net new cost of approximately $100,000 per year for Huntington Beach green waste tonnage. 2. Approximately 24,000 tons of material generated in Huntington Beach is no longer included as recycling for state reporting purposes. 3. In order to comply with the mandated recycling target, we must use other outlets to recycle green waste material. The current residential rate structure includes the disposal of residential green waste as ADC beneficial reuse. The cost to comply with this change in law ending free ADC diversion was not built into the rate structure nor the Solid Waste Franchise Agreement approved by City Council in 2006. Proposed Solution To ensure that Huntington Beach remains compliant with state recycling mandates, Rainbow/Republic Services has secured compost outlets for residential green waste. Staff worked with a solid waste consultant (HF & H), and with Republic to refine the program and cost of composting. The result is a projected net increased cost of$0.98 per household per month, approximately $560,000 annually. In order to maintain a balanced fund, it is necessary to increase the current rate by $0.98 per household per month to pass this cost through to the residential trash customer. Attachment 2 is a comparison of residential rates for Orange County cities including the proposed rate for Huntington Beach. The table below provides a detailed itemization of the proposed fee change.

Namely that the adjustment provide notice, the opportunity to protest the change in writing, and a public hearing. The City is following the majority protest procedures as set forth in the California Constitution Article XIII in order to ratify the rate methodology for rate adjustments. Fees may not be imposed or increased unless a local government conducts a majority-protest proceeding no sooner than 45 days after mailing notice to all fee payers. As such on December 4, 2020, a notice of public hearing and the proposed rate adjustment (Attachment 3) was mailed to all residential property owners and refuse customers served by the City setting the public hearing date for this meeting. The rate cannot be modified if a majority (50% plus 1), of affected ratepayers protest the proposed adjustment. According to municipal billing records as of November 4, 2020, there are 47,794 residences receiving residential trash services. The city must receive 23,897 protests to constitute a majority protest. Summary and Recommendation Additional recycling of residential green waste is required in order to remain compliant with state recycling mandates and per capita recycling targets. The additional recycling will cost Rainbow/Republic Services approximately $560,000 per year, or $0.98 per month per household served. It is necessary to pass these costs through to the customers to maintain a balanced Refuse Fund. Therefore, Public Works staff recommends the approval of Resolution 2021-05. Public Works Commission Action: Not required. Environmental Status: The proposed project includes residential trash rate adjustments and establishment of new rate effective February 1, 2021. No changes to existing residential service are proposed. As such, the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15273, which exempts the establishment, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges for the purpose of meeting operating expenses. The project is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which exempt projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 4 Printed on 1/13/2021 power�n'a5l LegistarTM File #: 20-2112 MEETING DATE: 1/19/2021 significant effect on the environment.

Prior to January 1, 2020, residential green waste was allowed to be used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) within landfills and given credit toward state mandated recycling requirements. ADC is the practice of utilizing green waste as cover for landfills at no charge. This free reuse helped the City comply with the State's recycling mandates at no cost which was built into the refuse rates for Huntington Beach residents. AB 1594 changed the law and discourages the use of green material as landfill cover, classifying the practice as disposal and not reuse (effective January 1, 2020). Due to the ongoing economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, the City has absorbed this cost as long as possible and delayed increasing rates. The City has investigated various alternatives and worked hard to keep the cost of addressing green waste as low as possible. This cost results in a proposed rate increase of$0.98 per household per month for refuse collection. The enclosed notice is the complete description of the proposed fee increase and announces the process for public input and review. Please send all comments to the City Clerk. A public hearing will be held and the rate adjustment presented to the City Council on January 19, 2021. If you have questions about this proposed increase or the enclosed notice, please contact the City's Trash and Recycling office at 714-375-5010-option 8, or e-mail trash info(a-)surfcity-hb.orq. Sincerely, Sean Crumby, PE Director of Public Works City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 2000 Main Street, California 92648 * Phone 714-536-5431 ♦ www.huntingtonbeachca.gd9o1 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH l PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Huntington Beach City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider approving the City's Residential Trash Collection Rate methodology, and establishing the future Rates, effective February 1, 2021, and rate increases through July 1, 2025. The public hearing will be conducted at the following place, date and time: Tuesday, January 19, 2021, at 6:00 p.m., at the Huntington Beach City Council Chambers, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California. Explanation of Proposed Residential Trash Collection Rate Methodology The Residential Trash Collection Rate Methodology consists of three elements: 1. Refuse Collection and Recycling Rate. This Rate is the primary component of the Methodology, and was adopted through the 2006 Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement, which annually adjusts the fee per residence payable to the hauler according to three separately weighted costs (the Formula): a. March to March change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ("CPIU") for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area established by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics--weighted 76%; b. The per ton landfill disposal fee—weighted 16%; c. The hauler's cost of Compressed Natural Gas fuel--weighted 8%. 2. City Account Maintenance Services. Incorporated into the Residential Trash Collection Rate are the City's actual costs of providing billing, payment processing, accounting, and customer services. As of July 1, 2020, these costs were $1.89 per month. This amount will increase annually by the March CPIU beginning July 1, 2021. 3. Recycling Education. These are the City's actual costs for providing state-mandated recycling education programs. This cost is $0.15 per month and will not be increased. Current Rate Effective July 1, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-26 setting the Residential Refuse Collection Rate at $20.57 per month, subject to annual increases in both the Refuse Collection and Recycling Rate and Account Maintenance Services through July 1, 2020. Effective July 1, 2020, the Residential Trash Collection Rate was adjusted to $22.16 per month. Proposed Residential Trash Collection Rates Effective January 1, 2020, the cost of Refuse Collection and Recycling increased by $47,000 per month in order to recycle green waste in compliance with a change in State law, Public Resources Code Section 41781.3. There are approximately 47,700 residences receiving Trash Collection service resulting in a pro rata green waste recycling cost of$0.98 per residence per month. 20-8549/238540 1 1902 If approved, effective February 1, 2021, the Residential Trash Collection Rate will increase from $22.16 to $23.14 per month to offset the increased cost of green waste recycling. Pursuant to the Trash Collection Rate Methodology explained above, future rate adjustments through July 1, 2025 will be as follows: Effective Date Proposed Residential Collection Rate (per dwelling unit per month February 1, 2021 $23.14 July 1, 2021 $23.14, Plus Formula Change And CPIU For March 2021 July 1, 2022 July 1, 2021 Rate, Plus Formula Change And CPIU For March 2022 July 1, 2023 July 1, 2022 Rate, Plus Formula Change And CPIU For March 2023 July 1, 2024 July 1, 2023 Rate, Plus Formula Change And CPIU For March 2024 July 1, 2025 July 1, 2024 Rate, Plus Formula Change And CPIU For March 2025 Please call the Public Works Trash & Recycling office at (714) 375-5010 for additional information regarding the methodology and amount of the Residential Trash Collection Rate. Public Hearing to Consider Majority Protest At the January 19, 2021 public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider: (1) all testimony regarding the methodology and formula for calculating annual increases of the Residential Trash Collection Rate; (2) the rate to be set effective February 1, 2021 and the increases authorized July 1, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025; and (3) whether the City Council shall adopt the proposed Resolution amending the Residential Trash Collection Rate. As required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution, the City Council also will take all written protests against the methodology and proposed increase to the Residential Trash Collection Rate, and determine if a majority protest exists. Any property owner or property tenant of the parcel subject to the payment of the Residential Trash Collection Rate may submit a signed, written protest against the proposed adjustments.

The State of California has determined that greenwaste material in the landfill is a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas. AB 1594, effective at the January 1 , 2020, stopped beneficial reuse of green material in landfills. In order to comply with the change in law, a residential trash rate increase is proposed to fund a new program for residential green waste recycling. Background Information ' 24,000 tons per year of city's residential green material was used to cover the working face of landfill — (Alternative Daily Cover - ADC) County landfills supported ADC by accepting processed green material free of charge Through 12/31/19, CalRecycle counted this tonnage toward our state mandated recycling goal Effective 1/1/20, CalRecycle no longer considers ADC tonnage towards the per capita recycling target AND the County landfill charges per ton for residential green Ili Background Information Beneficial reuse (free of charge) for residential green is built into the current residential rate structure Republic and staff have been working to develop a new program for residential green material since 2019 In the interim, additional costs for green waste to the landfill are approximately $100,000 for 2020 Landfill solution is limited time option - tonnage is not counted toward per capita recycling goal and not compliant with CalRecycle mandates 0 Background Information Due to the pandemic and consideration for economic hardship in the community, the city has paid the additional expense from the Refuse Fund through 2020, but this no longer sustainable. We have a goal to maintain a balanced Refuse Fund. The current service fees cannot support the added expense. We have to meet our State mandated recycling target or risk censure and fines for non-compliance.
