RE: Solid Waste Rate Increase (Janette Smith, Finance Director)
BACKGROUND ANALYSIS:

The City of North Miami Beach has a solid waste utility which is crucial to the health, safety and welfare of the City and her residents.

 

To continue to provide for the effective operation, maintenance and improvement of the City's solid waste system, a rate increase of 2.2% per unit is requested to address the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, for all items, for the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL region from April 2018 to April 2019.

 

A 2.2% increase will result in the following annual increases:

 

  • $9.90 per single family resident
  • $7.92 for each additional container
  • $5.94 for most commercial customers
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the solid waste utility charge increase of 2.2% per unit.
FISCAL/BUDGETARY IMPACT: Additional revenue of approximately $190,000 for the solid waste utility for fiscal year 2020.
