RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AUTHORIZING BFI WASTE SYSTEMS OF NORTH AMERICA, INC. (BFI) TO
INCREASE RATES FOR REFUSE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING SERVICES
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, BFI Waste Systems of North America, (BFI) holds a franchise from the City to
collect and dispose of refuse and various recyclables within the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to that franchise and Municipal Code Section 8.16.040, BFI has
applied for a rate increase for its services; and
WHEREAS, the rate increase is intended to meet the funding and revenue requirements of
the franchise agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City has had Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson, independent consultants, evaluate
the rate request and concurs that the rate increases requested are consistent with the franchise; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rate structure will ensure that the differences in burdens on
commercial and residential ratepayers are minimized; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rate structure phases in elimination of benefits that compacted
garbage seems to currently enjoy, because compacted garbage can actually be a detriment to the
pick-up system and the landfill; and
WHEREAS, the recommended rates appear just and reasonable and necessary for continued
operation of the franchise within the City,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED:
1. The Refuse Collection and Recycling Rates contained in Exhibit A hereto are approved,
and BFI is authorized to utilize such rates effective January 1, 2003.
