Timothy Rouse <br />President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />In Re: Ordinance to Amend the South Bend Municipal Code Chapter 16, <br />Article 2, Sections 16--6: To adjust rates for the collection of Solid <br />Waste. <br />Dear President Rouse: <br />Attached is an ordinance for Council consideration which deals with amendments <br />to Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code, specifically Solid Waste fees. These amendments <br />are prompted by the increased cost of collection and disposal of residential solid waste. <br />We are asking, at this time, to increase the cost for service by two-dollars and <br />fifty five cents ($2.55) per month for each class of customer and for increases of 3% in <br />2010 and 2011. These new fees will allow us to put our solid waste vehicles on a seven <br />year replacement schedule, allow us to replace lost containers, and rebuild reserves. <br />Even with these rate increases South Bend Solid Waste fees will remain <br />competitive with surrounding cities. <br />I will make the formal presentations and am available anytime if you have <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~r <br />J hn J. on <br />~i`~c~ t~ ~'~~~?~'~ ~~~'sce <br />„~ L 2 3 2008 <br />,~(`yiifZ ~t~t(3~Q~ <br />C1T1' C~.F` {, ~G.
