(“ACI”). <br />The letter amendment would authorize ACI to increase rates by .8% to implement education, <br />outreach and reporting requirements as required by SB1383, California’s Short-Lived Climate <br />Pollutant Reduction Strategy. The .8% increase is considered a special rate request and would <br />be added to the contractually allowed annual rate increase of 4.89%. If the Fourteenth Letter <br />Amendment is approved the total rate increase effective July 1, 2022 would be 5.69%. <br />In addition to the rate request, the amendment includes language modifying the definition of <br />“multi-family” in compliance with state regulations, clarifies point of pickup locations, and reduces <br />the rate change notification requirement to 30-days. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of San Leandro entered into a Franchise Agreement with ACI for Solid Waste, <br />Recyclables, and Green Waste Services on February 1, 2000. It will expire in January 2025. The <br />Franchise Agreement allows for a rate adjustment July 1 of each year, based on the Consumer <br />Price Index for the San Francisco Bay area, as well as a rate analysis every five years. <br />Amendment 10 to the Franchise Agreement (as attached), approved on July 20, 2009, changed <br />the annual rate adjustment process to a Refuse Rate Index (RRI). That revised methodology was <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/11/2022
