Florczak, City Attorney TITLE: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 7 -7 -1 OF CHAPTER 7, OF TITLE VII OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE, CONCERNING SERVICE CHARGES FOR DELIVERY OF SOLID WASTE TO A SOLID WASTE FACILITY ISSUE: Should the City Council adopt an ordinance amending Section 7 -7 -1 Pueblo Municipal Code to increase the service fee for delivering solid waste to a solid waste facility from twenty five cents ($0.25) per cubic yard or one dollar ($1.00) per ton to fifty cents ($0.50) per cubic yard or two dollars ($2.00) per ton? RECOMMENDATION: This ordinance was prepared at the request of Councilman Ray Aguilera. BACKGROUND: Under Section 7 -7 -1 of the Pueblo Municipal Code as currently written, the City receives a service fee of ($0.25) per cubic yard or one dollar ($1.00) per ton for solid waste delivered to a solid waste disposal site or transfer station. The proposed ordinance would increase the service fee from ($0.25) per cubic yard or one dollar ($1.00) per ton to fifty cents ($0.50) per cubic yard or two dollars ($2.00) per ton. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The existing service charge generates approximately one hundred five thousand dollars ($105,000) in revenue each year. The proposed ordinance should generate an additional one hundred five thousand ($105,000) each year (a total of two hundred ten thousand dollars ($210,000) per year). The ordinance does not require any additional expenditures.
