<br /> REPORT II <br /> SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL <br /> OPTIONS <br /> This report is a summation of the investigation conducted to determine <br /> alternatives available to the City for the collection and disposal of <br /> their solid waste. It includes an analysis of the current operations <br /> and costs of the City's system as well as four alternatives to the <br /> existing operations. The assumptions and facts used in the analysis <br /> of the alternatives are listed in detail in Attachment A. <br /> The City currently serves approximately 3800 residential customers and <br /> approximately 530 commercial accounts. The income generated from the <br /> existing clean up operation was $464,173.20 during fiscal year 1981- <br /> 1982. This revenue was produced by a residential rate of $4.00 per <br /> month per customer and an average charge of $34.59 per month per com- <br /> mercial account plus approximately $37,600 generated by landfill fees <br /> and $6,800 by brush pickup. Reported expenditures for this period were <br /> $397,374.96. Although a comparison of these figures indicates that the <br /> current operation produced an income of $66,798.24, the reported expen- <br /> ditures do not include any machinery, equipment or capital outlay ex- <br /> penses, or any associated clean up operational support costs, i.e., <br /> administration, accounting or insurance costs. <br /> Assuming a six year amortization at 12% of all machinery and equipment <br /> utilized in the system and an associated support cost of 10% of the <br /> total reported expenditures, the Actual Cost of Service is more accurate- <br /> ly estimated to be $682,741. <br /> THIS IS A DEFICIT OF $218,568. <br /> PAGE -1- <br />
