MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: David C. Patek, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 20, 2012
RE: Permit Fees for Yard Waste Disposal Site
BACKGROUND
Per Chapter 23/Solid Waste Disposal (Section 23-9 (k)), "the collection site may be used after purchasing
a permit for the yearly fee established by the Common Council as part of the budget process." This fee
was established in November of 2003. The resident fee has not been changed since 2003 and the non-
resident fee was last adjusted in November of 2004.
ANALYSIS
The permit fee is recommended to change as of January 1, 2013 as follows:
Current Fee Proposed Fee
Resident $15 $20
Non-Resident $80 $100
The operating expenses for the drop-off site include the following: salary for seasonal employees (April to
November), labor/equipment costs to grind materials at site, and labor/equipment costs to haul yard
waste for disposal at various locations.
FISCAL IMPACT
We would estimate the additional 2013 revenue for the yard waste drop-off site permits as follows:
5000 permits @ $5/permit= $25,000
The total revenue from the sale of permits would change from approximately $75,000 (at$15 per permit)
to approximately $100,000 (at $20 per permit). This revenue would partially offset the total operating
costs for this operation, which are estimated to be approximately $200,000.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of this resolution.
