City Council Agenda Item Report
BACKGROUND:
Sanitation Services Directly Supported by Fees
The City of Culver City operates an exclusive residential and commercial refuse
collection and disposal service as a municipal enterprise. The Sanitation Division
(Sanitation) operates solely on revenues generated from three major sources: (1)
the provision of solid waste transfer and collection services to businesses and
residents, (2) grants, and (3) the sale of recyclable material. These revenues cover
the costs for refuse collection, disposal, recycling programs, and public outreach.
Sanitation operations are 100% supported by its enterprise fund revenues. The
division does not receive other funds or tax contributions.
Sanitation Services Indirectly Supported By Fees
In addition to providing revenue to cover the cost of routine Sanitation operations,
refuse fees cover the cost of the following additional services:
An annual La Ballona Creek Cleanup Event at a cost of approximately
$8,500.
An On-Call bulky item pickup program that provides up to two annual pickups
for residential customers for a cost of approximately $60,000.
City-wide street sweeping for an annual cost of $220,000.
Pedestrian container and all bus stop container collection services for an
annual cost of approximately $94,000.
Removal of illegally dumped bulky items in the public right-of-way at an
annual cost of $20,000.
Removal of illegally dumped hazardous waste at an annual cost of $10,000.
Sanitation Payments to the City General Fund and Equipment Fund
In Fiscal Year 2006/2007, the Sanitation Enterprise Fund will contribute $1,133,111
(Administrative Charges) to the City’s General Fund to offset the cost of
administrative services rendered to Sanitation by other City Departments.City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
Additionally, the Sanitation Fund pays $78,000 annually to the General Fund as a
street usage fee.
The Sanitation Enterprise Fund continues to pay principal and 7% interest in the
aggregate amount of $164,000 annually on a loan of $2 million from the City’s
General Fund and an additional loan of $841,000 from the Equipment Replacement
Fund. As of the beginning of FY 06/07 the remaining balance on these loans are
approximately $776,000 and $454,000 respectively. These annual payments
established by the City Controller will end in 2018.
As of the end of FY 2005/2006 the Sanitation Enterprise Fund is expected to have a
negative cash balance of approximately $1,300,000. This represents a considerable
improvement from the negative cash balance at the end of FY 2004/2005 which was
$2,304,000.
Public Notification
Pursuant to City Council direction, a public notice of this item was published in the
April 27, June 15 and 22, 2006 issues of Culver City News. In addition to publishing
a notice, on April 27 and June 22, 2006 the Public Works Department mailed 26,771
notices to all property owners and business customers in the City, advising them of
tonight’s discussion and the proposed fee increases.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council establishes Refuse Fees to ensure that revenues cover the costs of
services provided. During the Fiscal Year 2006/2007 budget preparation process,
staff projected costs will increase by approximately $696,439 due to significant
increases in fuel, equipment replacement and landfill disposal costs. These
increased costs are based on a maintenance-of-effort budget projection. The
following table details the increased costs:

Proposed Rate Schedule Increase
During Fiscal Year 2005/2006, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing the
current refuse rates to balance revenues with the cost of service. However, the cost
to the Sanitation Enterprise Fund is projected to increase significantly for Fiscal Year
2006/2007 from the previous fiscal year. As a result, staff believes that it is
necessary to reevaluate the Refuse Rate Schedule in order to match revenues with
costs.
Taking into account refuse collection rates of other local municipalities and private
solid waste companies that service local municipalities, staff determined that a 6%
fee increase for commercial and a 10% increase for residential service will bring
rates in line with the market while covering Sanitation’s expenses.
The following is a proposed fee schedule:

Rate Schedule Comparison to Other Cities
Staff surveyed local municipalities who provide solid waste services to their
communities. The survey revealed that Culver City’s proposed rate schedule is in
the median range of what other cities charge for similar services. Based on this fact, City of Culver City, California

Sanitation Enterprise Fund revenues can be realigned with projected costs by
increasing the commercial and residential refuse rates as proposed and still remain
competitive when compared to the surrounding market.

* The City of Los Angeles (LA) was included in the rate comparison even though
they are subsidized by their General Fund. LA charges $11 per month to their
residents for refuse collection. The $11 fee only pays for equipment maintenance
and container cost; all other costs associated with refuse collection are paid by their
General Fund.
LA staff submitted to their Budget and Finance Department a full-cost recovery
analysis for their services. The report projects that the residential refuse rates would
have to be increased to $47 per month by the year 2008 to pay the cost of service.
LA, Pasadena, Santa Monica and Glendale compete against the private sector.
** Glendale and Burbank have City operated disposal sites and do not include the
cost of disposal in the rates.
*** Published rates from private haulers include a fuel surcharge and applicable
taxes.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
Sanitation staff completed a comprehensive rate analysis of Sanitation services
based on the projected operating budget for Fiscal Year 2006/2007. The rate
analysis shows that the residential, commercial and drop-body fees need to be City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
increased to match revenues with cost. The proposed rate schedule will balance
the Sanitation operating budget by generating approximately $10,513,573 in
revenue for Fiscal Year 2006-2007. Given this, staff is recommending adopting the
proposed fee increase effective July 1, 2006. While proposed expenditures are
slightly higher at $10,814,218, the revenue from green waste transfer fees paid by
Los Angeles was not included because of a lack of history. Staff is taking a
conservative approach to this new source of revenue estimated to be more than
$275,000 annually and believes rates proposed are sufficient to sustain ongoing
operations. Should the additional revenue be realized, then the sanitation operation
can accelerate debt payments and build a rate levelization reserve fund to begin to
offset known increases to the disposal costs that are likely to more than double in
the next 5 years to at least $60 per ton. The Refuse Fee Schedule will be revisited
annually to determine the impact of the disposal costs and whether further rate
increases are necessary.

Pursuant to City Council direction, a public notice of this item was published in
the April 27 June 15 and 22 2006 issues of Culver City News In addition to
publishing a notice on April 27 June 15 and 22 2006 the Public Works
Department mailed 26,771 notices to all property owners and business
customers in the City advising them of tonight s discussion and the proposed fee
increases
7 0 Proposed Rate Schedule Increase
During Fiscal Year 2005/2006, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing
the current refuse rates to balance revenues with the cost of service However,
the cost to the Sanitation Enterprise fund is projected to increase significantly for
Fiscal Year 2006/2007 from the previous fiscal year As a result, staff believes
that it is necessary to reevaluate the Refuse Rate Schedule in order to match
revenues with costs
Residential refuse collection fees will be established for the types of
service defined in this section as follows
a Residential, single-family This is service provided on a one-
time-per-week schedule to single family residents Customers receiving this
service deposit their refuse in a City issued 64-gallon refuse container
Customers place refuse containers at curbside or along alleys on scheduled
collection days Fees are included on the annual property tax statement
b Residential, multi-family This is service provided on a one-time-per
week schedule to residents of multi unit residential buildings that do
not subscribe to scheduled commercial bin service Residential
buildings with four or more dwelling units must subscribe to
commercial bin service unless specially exempted by the Sanitation
Manager, or his designee Customers receiving this service deposit

The new rates for FY 2006-07 for each service defined above will be as follows
a Residential, single-family $24 39 per dwelling unit per month
Residential, multi-family $24 39 per dwelling unit per month
Taking into account refuse collection rates of other local municipalities and
private solid waste companies that service local municipalities, staff determined
that a 10% fee increase for residential service will bring rates in line with the
market while covering Residential Sanitation expenses

9 0 Calculation of Annual Revenue Requirements
Sanitation staff completed a comprehensive rate analysis of Residential Sanitation
services based on the projected operating budget for Fiscal Year 2006/2007 The
rate analysis shows that the residential fees need to be increased by 10% to match
revenues with cost The proposed rate schedule will balance the Sanitation
operating budget by generating approximately $2 789 161 in revenue for Fiscal Year
2006-2007 that combined with the recycling revenue of $235 755 results in a total
revenue stream of $3 024 916 Given this staff is recommending adopting the
proposed 10% fee increase effective July 1 2006 The Residential Refuse Fee
Schedule will be revisited annually to determine the impact of the disposal costs and
whether further rate adjustments are necessary
The City Council establishes Refuse Fees to ensure that revenues cover the costs of
services provided During the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 budget preparation process,
staff projected that costs will increase by approximately $250,933 due to significant
increases in operations/fuel, equipment replacement and landfill costs These
increased costs are based on maintenance of effort budget projection The following
table details the increased costs

As noted above, the Sanitation Division is contemplating seeking City Council approval
for a five year Residential rate-stabilization program following confirmation of probable
significant cost increases in the gate fees at the primary disposal site used by City of
Culver City Puente Hills Landfill The Sanitation Division will identify the causes of
higher fees in the regional solid waste systems and analyze the justifications for annual
revenue adjustments until Fiscal Year 2012/13 In Fiscal Year 2006/07 the refuse
disposal costs are up 13 7% and similar increases are predicted until 2013 to pay for
the change from local (Puente) disposal to a rail haul system Other sub-streams of the
waste system will likely track with the higher costs resulting in even higher across the
board disposal and processing costs At current rates every $100,000 increase in
costs will require an $ 87 increase in residential rates
Recommendations
In summary, Staff makes the following recommendations
• Increase the current Sanitation Division billing formulas by 10 percent to
achieve full cost recovery for the proposed FY 2006-07 programs
• Adopt a resolution that allows a 10 percent increase to the current Sanitation
Division residential billing formulas for fiscal year 2006/07 in order to meet the
revenue requirements of the Sanitation Division
