Origin
Summary
This report outlines the recommended 2016 Solid Waste Rates and Fees arising from the concurrent adoption of the 2016 Solid Waste Management Services (SWMS) Recommended Operating and Capital Budgets. A three (3) per cent increase is recommended on all Solid Waste Rates and Fees beginning January 1, 2016, with minor exceptions noted in this report.
It is anticipated that the three (3) per cent increase on all SWMS fees will generate $8.410 million in additional revenue in 2016. This recommended rate increase is required to accommodate SWMS capital expenditures reflecting current capital needs including opportunities to extend the life of Green Lane Landfill, as well as expenditures that are anticipated for the implementation of the Long Term Waste Management Strategy ("Waste Strategy"), which will be completed in 2016. The recommended budget also balances fiscal constraints while maintaining critical progress on waste diversion initiatives, operational improvements, and capital investments in state of good repair.
The 2016 Recommended Operating Budget is $389.009 million and the 2016 Recommended Capital Budget is $96.512 million – comprised of $89.167 million in new 2016 funding, as well as $7.345 million in funding carried forward from 2015 into 2016. These combined budgets reflect the cost to maintain the City Council approved service levels for SWMS.
A key priority for the SWMS Division for 2016 is the completion of the Waste Strategy, which includes making advancements on further diversion opportunities as well as ensuring the long term fiscal sustainability of the solid waste utility. In keeping with Council Strategic Action #7 (Develop a Long-term Solid Waste Management Strategy), this report also discusses taking continued steps toward increased diversion and rate sustainability through consideration of possible further reductions to the Single Family Residential Solid Waste Rebate in 2016 as part of the City's Tax Supported Budget to be released later this year.
A Solid Waste Rebate reduction strategy, depending on the Garbage Bin size, should be considered for Single Family Residential customers as part of the City's Tax Supported Budget to be released later this year. Change to the Solid Waste Rebate has no impact on the SWMS 2016 Rate or budget. Any change to the Solid Waste Rebate will be supported by comprehensive communications to Single Family Residential customers on how to reduce the size of their Garbage Bin at no cost through the City's 311 Service online or via phone, and will also include educational information on how to improve waste diversion.
