July 17, 2000 Timm Schimke Deschutes County Solid Waste Director 61000 SE 27th St. Bend, OR 97702 Dear Timm, The following is the additional information you requested in regards to the requested rate adjustment for the City of Redmond's UGB area. Historically Deschutes County's rate setting policy has been to adopt the identical rates in the UGB area as are charged in the City of Redmond. It is also common for UGB customers to be incorporated into the City as time goes along. The purpose of this policy is to avoid confusion to the customer by maintaining consistency between rates, service areas, and service level. The City of Redmond recently approved an 8.3% rate increase to cover increased costs of collection service within the City of Redmond. Historical financial information shows that the returns in the city have been low over the last 3 to 4 years. Hank Hahn intended to go to the City with a rate increase request in 1998, but due to the sale of the business on January 1, 1999 was unable to accomplish this. Before making a request, we operated the business for 14 months to determine for ourselves the actual need. The major increase in operating costs is a result of increased labor and benefit costs including medical insurance, the need to upgrade equipment, and other operational expenses like fuel, etc. We have approximately 289 residential customers in the UBG area surrounding the City. The current UGB rates match the City of Redmond rates prior to the 7/1/2000 rate adjustment. To be consistent with Deschutes County rate setting policy, we are requesting that the UGB rates be adjusted to match the newly adopted City of Redmond rates as shown below. Cart Size (gal.)

The current rate setting policy allows the UGB customers to take advantage of the lower average City rates. High Country Disposal is also giving up potential revenue that would be generated by charging the UGB Customers the current County rates (shaded area). However, we feel the benefit of having the rates consistent outweigh the increased revenue. It is difficult to explain to a City customer why his neighbor in the UGB area has a different rate for the same service or vise versa. Since the City of Redmond rate change was effective 7/1/2000, we would appreciate your early consideration of this rate change request. We bill our UGB customers for July and August at the end of this month and would like to notify them of the change as soon as possible as a courtesy. We apologize for the short time frame in which we have given you to consider this request. Please contact me with any other questions you may have. Sincerely, HIGH COUNTRY DISPOSAL Brad E.
