MWSD Chair, Scott Boyd, introduces the agenda item: Review and Possible Action Concerning Establishment of Prop 218 Limits for Solid Waste Disposal Fee Increase.

The franchise agreement with Recology of the Coast requires the District to annually assess the solid waste disposal rates by January 1 in accordance with an agreed upon formula. Pursuant to the franchise agreement, Recology of the Coast provided calculations required for the index-based rate increase effective January 1, 2023 resulting in a 5.61% rate increase. The monthly rate for 32 gallon waste container would increase from currently $36.22 to $38.25.
