Amador County – The Sutter Creek City Council last week approved a rate increase for city trash and recycling services, related to an increase in dumping fees at a Sacramento County facility. ACES Waste Service requested the rate increase for the garbage and recycling hauling for city residents and businesses. Councilman Pat Crosby said the franchise agreement allowed for the increase, based on increased dumping fees. Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe recommended that the council hear from ACES representatives and open a public hearing, then accept public input on the proposed increase. He also recommended approval of the increase. Rabe said the “franchise agreement allows for an annual rate increase process,” the “proposed increase for this year is 6.89 percent,” and the “adjustment is consistent with the approved Rate Adjustment Methodology as presented in the franchise agreement.” The Sutter Creek staff discussed the increase with ACES representatives, Rabe said, and the “bulk of the increase comes from a 123.81 percent increase in disposal fees at Keifer Landfill,” operated by Sacramento County. Sutter Creek entered into its solid waste franchise agreement with ACES last year, and the agreement “allows for a detailed rate review in the first year of the contract.” ACES Vice President Paul Molinelli Jr. in a letter March 15th to the city council said the 6.89 percent rate increase in the city includes a 2.04 percent increase to cover a disposal rate increase of 21 percent that took effect at last July 1st at the Keifer Landfill. ACES will also be looking for a rate increase approvals before the Amador County Board of Supervisors, for its 3 unincorporated areas. The supervisors’ Administrative Committee of Ted Novelli and Chairman Brian Oneto today will consider requests by ACES to raise waste collection rates. The proposed increases include 11.83 percent at the Pine Grove Transfer Station; 4.34 percent in Franchise Area 2; and 4.91 percent at the Buena Vista Transfer Station. The committee will discuss the items and decide whether to place it on the supervisors’ agenda Tuesday. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
