Commercial rates often subsidize residential rates and/or larger container sizes subsidize smaller container sizes. The City of Auburn currently has both subsidy types. The table below shows what the solid waste rates would be with a 12% increase in 2011 (Option C) with subsidization (our current rate structure) and without subsidization. The rates in bold italics are subsidized.

The extra garbage charge decreases because the City had intentionally raised the rate to encourage customers to choose the correct service levels for their needs. Commercial When you remove the subsidies, the can and cart rates increase while the container rates see a small increase or a decrease. This is because the City has both subsidy types, so the commercial carts were being subsidized by the larger commercial containers in addition to the commercial rates subsidizing the residential rates. The table on the next page compares subsidized and non-subsidized 2011 revenues with the proposed 12% rate increase. The comparison shows that commercial rates subsidize residential rates by approximately $290,000. When the subsidy is removed, the 2011 residential rates see a 27% rate increase instead of a 12% rate increase.

I would like to address each question. How much fund balance does the City need in the Solid Waste Fund? City Policy requires $1 million for the Water, Sewer and Storm utilities. I don't believe the Solid Waste fund requires that level of funding. Financial prudence recommends 30-60 days cash flow. This would require a fund balance of $750,000 to $1,500,000. The contractor payment is made subsequent to the collection of service revenues in the previous month. Therefore the collections provide half of the requirement and fund balance would provide $750,000. This level of reserve would provide between 30 and 60 days cash flow and the opportunity for the City to react in the event of an unforeseen emergency or interruption of billing collections. How long has it been for single family and commercial customers since the last rate increase and what was the percentage? The last rate increase was in 2007 and the increase was a flat 15%. The increase added the 6% City utility tax and the 1.5% state excise tax into the rate so it was all inclusive. The net increase then was 7.5%. Prior to February 2007 the taxes were added on to the service rate. Since that time, the City increased utility taxes an additional 1% to be used for arterial street preservation. What is the difference between the estimated 2010 ending fund balance of $800,000 and the rate model 2010 ending fund balance of $672,000? The rate model does not have late penalties and interest added in the assumptions therefore did not include Page 1 of 3 AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED those revenues into consideration. Late penalties and interest are estimated to be about $120,000 in 2010. What were the assumptions used in the rate modeling? The rate model uses a snap shot of customer service levels as of June 2010. The 2010 Waste Management fees were used as the base cost. Commercial and Residential extras fluctuate monthly so we used a 20 month average for the number of extras. Time period was Jan 2009 to August 2010. Actual budgets for 2010, 2011 and 2012 were then inputted into the model and the model assumes that commercial subsidizes residential which follows the current rate structure. Additional considerations for the model: 2011: Consumer Price Index (CPI) decrease of .06% B&O Tax Increase of .3% King County Tipping Fee of $95/ton (this is the current cost and will not go up until 2012) 2012: Estimated CPI increase of 1.38% Estimated King County Tipping Fee increase from $95/ton to $105/ton 2013: Estimated CPI increase of 2.0% Estimated King County Tipping Fee of $105/ton Assumes operating under the current Waste Management contract There was also discussion about the $1 million dollars that was removed from the utility over time in 2008 and 2009. 1 have attached a copy of the resolution that is self explanatory. The utility tax rate in the fund was increased for up to 12 months or $1 million dollars additional tax, which ever came first, to support the community center project. Those funds have been expended for architectural services for the Community and Activity Centers. I think it is also important to note that the total revenues in the fund have steady decreased since 2007. The recession is the main factor. In 2007 revenues were approximately $10.4 million and they have decreased each year to an estimated $9.1 million in 2010. The City philosophy has been to subsidize some of the rates because of low contract rates with the hauler, and past economies that have been strong. But since late 2008 the economy has faltered and so have revenues in the solid waste fund. In order to Page 2 of 3 AUBURN * MORE THAN YOU IMAGINED maintain the viability of the fund a rate increase is recommended. Finance recommends option C of 12%, 4% and 4%. This will bring the ending fund balance to an estimated $655,000 by the end of 2013. This is a bit less than the optimum fund balance, but will provide coverage for approximately one month payment to the contractor.
