DATE: May 14, 1991
. SUBJECT: Central Sanitary District Solid Waste Collection Rates
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
AUTHORIZE the Chairman, Board of Supervisors to transmita letter to the
Board of Directors, Central Sanitary District requesting verification that
the FY 91-92 solid waste collection rates for the unincorporated areas will
not include any charges for AB 939 planning activities.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR REQUEST
Over the past year, the Central Sanitary District has handled the AB. 939
planning responsibilities for the cities of Lafayette, Danville,. Orinda and, ,;
Moraga. The County performed its own AB 939 planning activities.
Central Sanitary District is currently in its rate review process, FY 91-92
solid waste collection rates for Valley Waste Management, Pleasant Hill
Bayshore, Inc. and Orinda Moraga Disposal. In the past, Central Sanitary has
recovered its previous year's costs for rate regulation and related solid
waste activities in the following year's rates. Rates have historically been
uniform throughout a local hauler's territory; however, it would not be
appropriate for the residents of the unincorporated areas to pay for AB 939
planning activities of the cities.
The purpose of the letter to Central Sanitary District would be to
communicate the Board's concern for equity in rate setting for residents of
the unincorporated areas and to request verification that no _AB 939 planning
costs are embedded in the rates for residents of the unincorporated areas.

Dear.XW ent Clausen:
It is the County's understanding that the Central Sanitary District is currently in its rate review
process for FY 91-92 solid waste collection rates for Valley Waste Management, Pleasant Hill
Bayshore and Orinda Moraga Disposal; and that it is your practice to recover your previous
year's costs for rate-regulation and related solid waste activities in the following year's rates.
Over the past year, the district has handled the AB 939 planning responsibilities for the cities
of Lafayette, Danville, Orinda, Moraga, while the County has performed its own AB 939
planning activities.
The Board of Supervisors believes that it would not be appropriate for the residents of the
unincorporated areas to pay for the AB 939 planning activities conducted by the district on
behalf of its cities. Would you please send us a;copy of your collection rates, when adopted,
accompanied by verification that no AB 939 planning costs are imbedded in the rates for the
residents of the unincorporated areas?
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Tom Powers, Chair
Board of Supervisors
