Subject: Accept the occupancy count as presented as 22,858 and direct staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental
Services for $236,888.88 for September 2019 collection
Summary
Accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,858 as the correct number of active units and direct staff to prepare a warrant to
CR&R Environmental Services for August 2019 collection based on this occupancy report so long as the contractor fulfills the
obligations of the agreement in the amount of $236,888.88 to be ratified in the September 2019 warrant list.
Recommendation
That the Board of Directors accept the occupancy count as presented using 22,858 as the correct number of active units and direct
staff to prepare a warrant to CR&R Environmental Services for August 2019 collection based on this occupancy report so long as the
contractor fulfills the obligations of the agreement in the amount of $236,888.88 to be ratified in the September 2019 warrant list.
Analysis
The occupancy count is the number of residential customers that the District pays CR&R for the trash truck to stop and pick-up trash.
The District pays CR&R $10.3635 per occupant, per month. Each month, new residential customers in brand-new
developments contact the District to establish new trash service. District staff contacts CR&R to approve the drop-off of carts at the
residence, which results in an increase in the occupancy count as shown on the attached list.
As of August 31, 2019, total District occupancy was at 22,858, with twelve (12) new accounts added since the last billing
period. District staff will continue to track the number of new service addresses.
The payment calculation is based on the following:
District's Current Rate for August 2019:
22,858 x $10.3635 =$236,888.88
