AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of August 13, 2008
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: August 5, 2008
FROM: Timm Schimke. Solid Waste 317-3177
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2008-077 Establishing Rates for the Franchised Collection of
Solid Waste and Recyclables in Unincorporated Areas of Deschutes County.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Franchised collectors of solid waste in areas of Deschutes County around the cities of Bend, Redmond
and Sisters including Sunriver have requested a rate increase. Areas of the County south of Sunriver
and the Cross Waters development are not affected by this request. The Order under consideration
would increase collection rates by 10%. This equates to about $1.60 per. month for a once per week
service of a 32 gallon can which is the most frequently used container size. The request and supporting
financial information has been reviewed by an independent accounting firm who has determined the
request to be reasonable and justified.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
A similar increase to the rates that the Department of Solid Waste pays for transfer services from rural
transfer stations and recycling depots is included in this order. We expect our cost for transfer to
increase by about $150,000. Other collection rates do not impact the department's budget.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Rapidly rising costs for fuel and other costs of doing business have impacted the collection companies.
In the past, increases in the population and corresponding customer base for the companies has helped
offset rising costs. Current economic conditions have resulted in the loss of that benefit. Proposed
rates appear justified, and are within the range of rates established in other communities around the
state. I recommend signature of Order No. 2008-077

The Companies holding County solid waste collection franchises in the unincorporated
areas around Bend (Bend Garbage and Recycling and Brownrigg Investments) Redmond
and Sisters (High Country Disposal) have requested a rate increase. The Order under
consideration would increase collection rates by 10%. This equates to about $1.60 per
month for a once per week service of a 32 gallon can which is the most frequently used
container size.
The request and supporting financial information has been reviewed by an independent
accounting firm of Greer Mahr Associates. They have requested additional information
from the collection companies as part of their analysis which all of the companies have
provided. The results of the analysis determines the request to be reasonable and
justified.
Collection rates in unincorporated areas of Deschutes County were last adjusted at the
request of the franchised companies in 2005. Rates were also adjusted to reflect the tip
fee increase that was implemented by the County in 2007. The attached table shows how
the requested rate for once per wek service of a 32 gallon can compares with other
communities in the state.
The Order being considered also includes an increase to the rates that the Department of
Solid Waste pays for transfer services from rural transfer stations and recycling depots.
As with the collection rate increase request, Deschutes Transfer's request and supporting
financial documentation has been reviewed by Greer Mahr Associates who report that the
request is reasonable and justified. We expect our cost for transfer to increase by about
$150,000 due to this rate increase bringing our total expense for these services to about
$900,000 per year. The only adjustment to these rates has been over the last 10 years has
been implementation of a fuel surcharge 3 years ago.
