Costs associated with assigned personnel are expected <br />80 to increase 4.6% which includes a 2% cost -of -living adjustment and a 5% increase for healthcare costs. <br />81 The added operating costs will require an increase in the stormwater fee charged to customers in 2016. <br />82 <br />83 <br />84 <br />85 <br />86 <br />87 <br />88 <br />89 <br />90 <br />91 <br />92 <br />93 <br />94 <br />95 <br />96 <br />97 <br />98 <br />99 <br />100 <br />101 <br />102 <br />103 <br />Recycling Operations <br />The recycling operation provides for the contracted curbside recycling pickup throughout the City and <br />related administrative costs. The primary operating cost is the amounts paid to a contractor to pickup <br />recycling materials. <br />The following table provides a summary of the 2015 and 2016 (proposed) Budget: <br />Revenues <br />Base Fee Revenue <br />LLaye Fee Revenue <br />SCORE Grant <br />Revenue Sharing <br />Interest Earning <br />E eases <br />$ <br />Total $ <br />2015 <br />Bu et <br />309,200 <br />- <br />65,000 <br />140,000 <br />1,000 <br />515,200 <br />$ <br />$ <br />2016 <br />Budget <br />346,000 <br />- <br />89,200 <br />48,000 <br />1,000 <br />484,200 <br />$ Increase <br />(Decrease) <br />$ 36,800 <br />- <br />24,200 <br />(92,000) <br />- <br />$ (31,000) <br />% Increase <br />(Decrease) <br />11.9% <br />0.0% <br />37.2% <br />-65.7% <br />0.0% <br />-6.0% <br />Personal Services <br />$ <br />36,500 <br />$ <br />36,800 <br />$ 300 <br />0.8% <br />Supplies & Materials <br />700 <br />2,000 <br />1,300 <br />185.7% <br />Other Services & Charges <br />448,410 <br />453,410 <br />5,000 <br />1.1% <br />Total $ <br />485,610 <br />$ <br />492,210 <br />$ 6,600 <br />1.4% <br />Net From Operations <br />$ <br />29,590 <br />$ <br />(8,010) <br />For 2016, overall costs are expected to rise 1.4%. <br />Under the existing contract, the City originally expected to receive an estimated $140,000 annually in <br />revenue sharing from Eureka Recycling. However, the volume of recycled materials while strong <br />compared to other municipalities, has remained largely unchanged while at the same time the re -sale <br />market for collected materials has proven to be less lucrative than previously estimated due to lower <br />demand. Based on recent revenue sharing monies received, the City should expect only $40,000 - <br />$55,000 in 2016. <br />The increased contractor costs and decline in revenue sharing dollars will require an increase in the <br />recycling fee charged to customers in 2016. <br />104 Recommended Rates for 2016 <br />105 As noted above, a typical single-family home will pay $162.10 per quarter, or $54.03 per month under <br />106 the recommended rates. The following tables provide a more detailed breakdown of the proposed rates. <br />107 <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />
