Consideration of a Resolution Setting a Public Hearing for Adoption of a Resolution Increasing Compensation to Los Altos Garbage Company for Solid Waste and Recycling Collection; Preliminarily Approving the Los Altos Garbage Company Cost-of-Living -Adjustment; and Directing Staff to Mail the Notices Required by Law Finance Director Nick Pegueros introduced the item to Council. The Los Altos Garbage Company, in accordance with their franchise agreement with the Town, had submitted their annual request for a compensation adjustment of their rates based on the CPI. In previous years, Council has elected to absorb the increase using funds from the Solid Waste Fund. Pegueros explained that staff recommended that this year's cost-of-living adjustment similarly be paid using the Solid Waste Fund's fund balance rather than passing the additional cost on to the customer. Pegueros noted that if Council should elect to increase the rates, pursuant to Proposition 218, the rate increase was subject to the public hearing and protest process. A resolution to set the public hearing and direct staff to proceed with the noticing as required by law was included in the staff report before Council. 2 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 25,2007
