AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16, ARTICLE 2, SECTIONS 16-6 OF
THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADJUST RATES FOR COLLECTION OF
SOLID WASTE
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
Since 1993 the South Bend Solid Waste utility rate for most residential customers has
been under Nine Dollars ($9.00) per month. Over these past fifteen years, the Bureau of Solid
Waste has been successful in improving service, reducing staff and improving the technology of
its equipment. The Bureau has furnished closed containers to City residents. The appearance of
South Bend's streets .and alleys has improved, and huge strides have been made in becoming a
"Clean City". However, rising fuel costs, an aging fleet, and increased landfill tip fees have cut
into reserves. It is necessary to raise rates in order to sustain quality service.
This ordinance provides for a rate increase for the remainder of 2008 and 2009.
Revenues received will allow for ongoing replacement of vehicles and containers, as well as,
increased operating costs, particularly fuel and landfill costs.
The terms of this ordinance are in the best interests of the City of South Bend.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA that Chapter 16, Article 2, Section 16-6 of the South Bend
Municipal Code be amended as follows:
