These included the June 1st rate application from the Los Altos Garbage Company, the report from Hilton Farnkopf and Hobson, statistical information from LAGCO and a draft solid waste and recyclables collection franchise agreement. The City Manager also commented on the issues which resulted in the requested rate increase: debris box shortfall, debris box allocation, extension of debris box shortfall and general administrative expenses by LAGCO. A compromise was being offered between the rate increase suggested by HF&H as reasonable (45%) and that being requested by LAGCO (68%). The compromise was: approve a two year negotiated settlement offer with a 19.9% increase in rates in the first year and a 19.9% increase in the second year with CPI factored into it. Council addressed several aspects of the solid waste issue. These included: actual expenses for 1993; revenue projection adjustment; increase in LAGCO's administrative costs; agreement on allocation among all the cities; tonnage; number of houses served and base cost to each house; long-term impact to residents; renegotiation of contract; resolution to correct problem now and not wait for December 6, 1994 Adjourned Regular Meeting
