ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO OPWA
RESOLUTION #2001-08 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING POLYCART REFUSE
RATES.
Mr Mitchell said that rates for polycart refuse service increased by $1.00 in 1986 to $6.50 per
container per month and by $1.50 in 1995 to $8.00 for residential service and $10.00 for
commercial service. Funds from the increase in 1995 were earmarked for street repair and
maintenance and for economic development activities, and were not used to offset the cost of
providing refuse collection services. OPWA Resolution #2001-08, if approved, will increase
residential and multi -family rates per polycart to $10.00 and commercial rates to $12.00. Retired
customers over the age of 65 or customer who are permanently disabled and receiving Social
Security Disability Benefits may apply for a reduced residential rate of $8.00. The new rates
would become effective with the first billing in August. Mr Williams moved, seconded by
Ms Armstrong, to approved OPWA Resolution #2001-08, increasing by $2.00 refuse rates
charged to polycart customers.
