R22-71 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, ADJUSTING SOLID WASTE FEES FOR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS AND MULTI-UNIT PROPERTIES PURSUANT TO GLENDALE CITY CODE; AND SETTING FORTH EFFECTIVE DATES. 17. RESOLUTION NO. R22-72 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, ADJUSTING SOLID WASTE FEES FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES PURSUANT TO GLENDALE CITY CODE; AND SETTING FORTH EFFECTIVE DATES. Presented by: Michelle Woytenko, Director, Field Operations Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Ms. Woytenko said the proposed resolution would adjust residential solid waste rates effective for bills issued on or after September 1, 2022, January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026 respectively and would add a temporary fuel surcharge effective September 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. Ms. Woytenko said a financial analysis determined the division was in crisis due to the impact of increases in fuel and insurance costs. The fuel crisis impact on the solid waste forecast was presented to Council on June 28, 2022 at which time consensus was given for the City Council Meeting Minutes - August 9, 2022 Page 4 of 12 proposed rate adjustments, a temporary fuel surcharge and to advance the interfund loan. Ms. Woytenko said the fuel surcharge was temporary and would continue to be discussed during the next budget process. She said the financial update had been presented to the Citizens Utility Advisory Commission (CUAC) in May and the increases had been discussed at the CUAC’s August meeting. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked for more detail on the escalation of the 5-year rate increases. Ms. Woytenko said the following rate increases were adopted in November 2021: January 2023 - $1.25 January 2024 - $1.00 January 2025 - $1.00 January 2026 - $0.90 Ms. Woytenko said the January 2023 and 2024 rate increases would be combined and would go into effect on September 1, 2022. The 2025 increase would occur in 2024 and the 2026 increase would occur in 2025. In the end, it would be the same rate, it was just an acceleration of the increases. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the acceleration was not related to fuel costs. Ms. Woytenko said that was correct. The plan had been to draw down the fund balance. Because of inflation, there was no fund balance to draw down, so the acceleration was necessary because of increased insurance costs and expenses. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the fund balance was incorrect when Council considered the rate increases. Ms. Woytenko said that was correct. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the fund balance was Council policy. She asked about the importance of maintaining a fund balance in the enterprise fund. Ms. Rios said other cities with a healthy enterprise fund balance were able to absorb the increases. The City’s water enterprise fund had a large enough fund balance to weather the storm and did not have to react so rapidly as did the solid waste enterprise fund. The fund balance policy was very important and was considered a best practice. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the item was on the Consent Agenda because it did not require a public hearing, but she had pulled it so that residents could understand what was happening. She was philosophically opposed to a 5-year rate plan because of the volatility of the economy. Rates should be adjusted ever 1 to 2 years. Councilmember Clark said the fuel costs were decreasing. She asked if the costs continued to decrease, was there a chance the rates would decrease. Ms. Woytenko said the fuel surcharge was a temporary charge through June. It would be discussed with Council during the budget process in March or April. Councilmember Turner asked if the fuel surcharge would be tracked separately so that it could be compared with actual fuel costs. City Council Meeting Minutes - August 9, 2022 Page 5 of 12 Ms. Rios said it would be tracked. Councilmember Turner asked if money had been borrowed from the fund for the National Hockey League. Ms. Rios said that was correct. Because of the situation, payment in the amount of $1.6 million was being advanced which left a balance due of $825,000 to the fund. Councilmember Turner would have preferred to pay the entire loan amount back which might have resulted in a smaller fuel surcharge. A motion was made by Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Ian Hugh to adopt Resolution No. R22-72.
