PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL TRASH COLLECTION CHARGES
TO BE COLLECTED WITH THE GENERAL TAXES
Presentation of Report
Ms. Temple presented a report illustrating a comparison of the proposed 1995 -96 trash assessment rate
to the rate established for the 1994 -95 fiscal year. Ms. Temple submitted two options to the Board
for their consideration. Option 1 reflected an assessment of $162.71 per year, a $15.15, or a 10.3%
per year increase, and Option 2 reflected an assessment of $163.25 per year, a $15.69, or a 10.6% per
year increase.
Ms. Temple stated the proposed increase in the 1995 -96 trash assessment is due to an increase in the
trash hauler contract, an increase in landfill fees from $22.75 to $35 per ton, and a 90 unit drop in
occupancy as compared with the previous fiscal year. Option 1 reflects the District absorbing the
increases in the recycling contract with the exception of the landfill increases.
