Recycling Operations <br />90 <br />The recycling operation provides for the contracted curbside recycling pickup throughout the City and <br />91 <br />related administrative costs. The primary operating cost is the amounts paid to a contractor to pickup <br />92 <br />recycling materials. <br />93 <br />94 <br />The following table provides a summary of the 2014 and 2015 (Proposed) Budget: <br />95 <br />96 <br />97 <br />$ Incr. % Incr. <br />2014 2015 (Decrease) (Decrease) <br />Personnel $ 36,500 $ 36,500 <br />Supplies & Materials 600 700 <br />Other Services & Charges 30,410 20,410 <br />Contract Pickup 414,000 428,000 <br />Total $ 481,410 $ 485,610 $ 4,200 0.9 % <br />98 <br />99 <br />Under the existing contract, the City originally expected to receive an estimated $140,000 annually in <br />100 <br />revenue sharing from Eureka Recycling. However, the volume of recycled materials while strong <br />101 <br />compared to other municipalities, has remained largely unchanged while the re-sale market for <br />102 <br />collected materials has proven to be less lucrative than previously estimated. Based on current revenue <br />103 <br />sharing monies being received, the City should expect only $65,000 - $70,000 in 2015. <br />104 <br />105 <br />This will require an increase in the fee charged to customers to offset the reduction in revenue sharing. <br />106 <br />107 <br />Rate Impacts for 2015 <br />108 <br />As noted above, a typical single-family home will pay $169.42 per quarter, or $56.47 per month. This <br />109 <br />is a decrease of $0.89 per month from 2014.
