lot <br /> u to <br /> o <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTIGIEG,MAYOR <br /> DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br /> May 20, 2015 <br /> Mr.Tim Scott <br /> President, South Bend Common Council <br /> 4th Floor, County-City Building <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Re: Ordinance Amendment to South Bend Municipal Code Chapter 16, Article 2,Sections 16-6 and <br /> 16-8 Regarding Fees for City Collection and Disposal of Solid Waste Materials <br /> Dear President Scott: <br /> Last year during the budget process, it was identified that the ongoing fees charged for the collection <br /> and disposal of solid waste needed adjusted in order to cover the basic costs of providing the service. <br /> The costs for personnel salaries, wages and benefits,fuel, tipping fees, new technically advanced trucks <br /> and equipment, maintenance,and overhead have risen since the last increase in 2008. Expenses have <br /> outpaced revenues for the past few years which led to a declining fund balance in the Solid Waste fund. <br /> During the budget process, it was suggested that the fees would need to be increased by approximately <br /> $1.00 per month per household in 2015. <br /> The City is recommending that the Council pass a two-tiered fee increase per the attached ordinance for <br /> 2015 and 2016. The effective date for the first increase would be August 1,2015. The recommended <br /> fees would support a more evenly balanced budget and would be competitive with fees in surrounding <br /> communities. <br /> Either Dr. Boyles or I will present this ordinance at the Council's Committee meeting and at the public <br /> hearing. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please let me know. <br /> As always,thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Hied in Clan: fr; <br /> Eric C. Horvath f j <br /> City of South Bend P MAY 2 G 2215 <br /> Executive Director Public Works f <br /> CITY CLEF [', ;.;t;: , Ltd),IN <br />
