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 />Phn on <br />In lfnu k- 's office <br />JUL 2 3 2008 <br />Jon VOOPOE <br />CTTY Ci.F ,K, so, OEM, 1% <br />ENGINEERING E <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES C <br />WATERWORKS <br />JOHN E STANCATI <br />574/235 -9322 <br />FAx 574/235 -9728 <br />qtr <br />
