Utilities Director Mark Brannigan will take to the council a proposed resolution for a consumer price index increase of 2.4 percent for residential solid waste service, including garbage, green waste and recycling.
Lakeport Disposal Inc., which entered into a solid waste contract with the Lakeport City Council on Jan. 1, 2004, requested the increase on Aug. 16, according to Brannigan’s report to the council.
The contract between the city and the company calls for a rate increase each Jan. 1, with the rate to equal 75 percent of the previous year’s US Department of Labor Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose areas, Brannigan reported.
The council will hold a public hearing on the rates, which are proposed to increase as follows:
One 20-gallon toter: current rate – $13.34, new rate – $13.66;
One 32-gallon toter, current rate – $20.01, new rate – $20.49;
Two 32-gallon toters, current rate – $40.02, new rate – $40.98;
One 95-gallon toter, current rate – $60.02, new rate – $61.46.
Under council business, the council will discuss appointments of its members to various commissions, boards and committees; and make appointments of community members to the Lakeport Parks and Recreation Commission and the Lakeport Economic Development Committee, effective Jan. 1, 2012 and expiring at the end of 2013.
The meeting will include the presentation of a proclamation declaring the summer of 2012 the “Summer of Peace” and the announcement of the winners of the city’s annual holiday decorating contest.
The council also will hold a closed session to discuss a case of pending litigation, Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 and Lakeport Police Officers Association v. City of Lakeport, Lakeport City Council.
