ITEM: *9C1. Consider an ordinance amending Garbage Collection Rates for
Residential Customers. (Second Reading)

Tom Word, Chief of Public Works Operations
The City has received a request from Round Rock Refuse to amend their garbage collection
contract with the City. The garbage collection rate for residential service is currently $12.00 per
residence which was adopted on November 9, 2004. The current adopted senior rate for
grandfathered accounts is $11.00 per residence. At that time, Round Rock Refuse was paying
$1.86 per gallon for diesel fuel. Diesel fuel has now reached $4.00 per gallon, or an increase of
$2.14 per gallon (115%) above the November 2004 price. We are proposing that the residential
garbage collection rate be increased by $0.58 from $12.00 per unit per month to $12.58 per
unit per month, and $11.58 per unit per month for grandfathered senior accounts.

Background Information:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) publishes a report that includes a projected annual
average retail price for diesel fuel. The DOE report published on April 8, 2008 projected that
the average retail price for diesel fuel for 2008 would be $3.62 per gallon. The price that Round
Rock Refuse pays for diesel fuel is approximately 95% of the average retail price posted by the
DOE. The new rate being proposed in this ordinance is based on a diesel fuel price of $3.44,
which is 95% of the average annual retail price for 2008 as projected by the DOE in its April 8,
2008 report.
