REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager P^
FROM: Rick Wills, Finance Director
SUBJECT: FY2014 Budget - Solid Waste Removal
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2013
BACKGROUND: The Solid Waste Removal Assessment is approved annually to
provide a levy to fund the costs of the removal of garbage or other offensive matter from streets,
alleys, or any premises. For fiscal year 2014, staff is recommending eliminating the discount
received by non-residential customers for multiple pick-ups per week of 300 and 400 gallon
dumpsters. Non-residential customers will now be charged the same amount each time the
dumpster is emptied. For a 300 gallon dumpster the rate is $338.00 per pick-up and the 400
gallon dumpster rate is $411.00 per pick-up. There are no other rate changes.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 5642 adopting the assessment for Solid Waste
Removal.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Anticipated revenue to be generated by the assessment is $868,000.

RESOLUTION NO.5642
A RESOLUTION TO LEVY THE COST OF REMOVAL OF GARBAGE OR OTHER
OFFENSIVE MATTER FROM STREETS, ALLEYS OR ON ANY PREMISES AS A SPECIAL
TAX AGAINST PROPERTY FROM WHICH SUCH MATTER WAS DEPOSITED, AND THE

WHEREAS, Section 7-14-4105 MCA, gives a City Council power to provide for levying the cost of
removal of garbage or other offensive matter from streets, alleys, or any premises as a

deems such a method more equitable and just than paying for such removal from the

objections made to said estimate and to the basis of levy and assessment for payment for
said cost.

from the various lots and parcels of land within the city and benefited by such
