<br /> <br /> Managing Tomorrow’s Resources Today <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Wolff <br />October 4, 2013 <br />Page 3 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />4. The Proposed System Expansion, for a six year planning period of July 1, 2014 through the close <br />of FY 19‐20 will require raising an annual average amount of $5,072,038 in new revenue with a <br />new annual fee of $9.55 per single‐family and multi‐family residential unit. <br />The report also includes recommendations to Program and StopWaste staff regarding maintaining <br />flexibility to modify some elements of program design if needed, notifying the Boards should disposal‐ <br />based tip fees vary from projections over time, and including a mechanism to adjust the new fee, should <br />it prove to be generating more revenue than is needed. <br />Background <br />System and Program Information <br />As discussed in various StopWaste staff reports to committees and Boards2, current spending for the <br />Program is about $3.95 million per year. Revenue is about $2 million per year. The primary current <br />source of revenue is a $2.15 per ton fee on all 'disposed waste' delivered to landfills in the County. <br />Revenue and expenditures are managed through a County trust account, but the positive balance is <br />steadily declining as revenues decrease. <br />The current Program service level does not capture most HHW. Using the most recently available <br />comprehensive data, the Program captured 1,443 tons in FY 2012‐13, while as much as 3,400 tons per <br />year of HHW is still being landfilled, contrary to State Law.3 However, as Attachment 1 shows, <br />participation in the Program has grown steadily since Program inception in the early 1990s. In addition, <br />the Proposed System Expansion anticipates an ongoing growth in participation, while the Austerity <br />option would return the Program to the FY 01‐02 level of participation prior to ending. <br />To date, the Fremont facility has received funding from the County HHW Fund at a level commensurate <br />with that received by the other three facilities. However, in order to obtain a higher level of service, <br />Fremont solid waste ratepayers have subsidized part of the facility’s cost. A goal of the Proposed System <br />Expansion is to fully integrate the Fremont facility into the County system, by providing the same level of <br />service Countywide through the HHW Fund. Similarly, in the event that the public does not approve the <br />Proposed System Expansion, the Fremont facility, in the absence of a new source of revenue will <br />operate at a reduced level. <br />Development of the Program Options <br />The Proposed System Expansion and this report are the result of a two and half year process. In 2011, <br />StopWaste engaged HF&H to conduct a comparative evaluation (Review) of the efficiency of the <br />Program, which was presented to the WMA Board in October 2011.4 The Review was intended as a first <br />step towards determining how best to address the long‐term funding issue, beginning with an <br /> <br />2 See Attachment 2; current and past fiscal year budget data from Program staff.. <br />3 The 1,443 tons figure is from the Program’s “Form 303”, its annual summary provided to the State. The 3,400 ton <br />figure is from StopWaste’s 2008 Waste Characterization, Table ES6. <br />4 Robert Hilton, Peter Deibler, HF&H Consultants, LLC, “HHW Productivity Review – Final Report”, February 13, <br />2012. The summary of key results was presented to the Authority Board in late 2011.
