ADDITIONAL BUSINESS ADDED BY SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA a. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED GARBAGE RATES Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that two-thirds of his report was given at an earlier meeting. After further comments by Mr. Dolan and study by Board Members, it was noted that interest charges were included in calculating the operating ratios. President Boneysteele requested that all the interest charges be removed and those figures recalculated. Messrs Brown and Briethauer, accountants for Lafayette and Orinda- Moraga Disposal Companies, stated that with the interest removed, the 95% operating ratio is no longer valid suggested that a different ratio be established. Staff recommended the following: 1. Rate Increase: An across the Board 8.5% increase for all companies. 2. Rate Setting Procedure: The District undertake a project this fall with the aid of a consultant experienced in regulatory accounting, which will establish a rate setting system with the following features: a. Develop a system to put vehicle costs such as depreciation, lease, repair, and maintenance on a comparalble basis so that operational costs can be evaluated. b. Develop a system to evaluate operational cost items such as dumping, leasing, truck repair and maintenance, where the work is being done by a company which is partly or wholly owned by the franchisee. c. Identify the cost on a category by category basis for collecting trimmings, seasonal clean-up, commercial, multiple and single family garbage to enable the District to set rates for each category of service on the basis of actual cost to serve. d. Resolve apparent cost allocation discrepancies which have been noted in the data received from the franchises. 3. Lost Revenue: In order to eliminate lost revenue due to billings based on inaccurate records, it was recommended that the companies conduct periodic field surveys of each route and update customer service records. 4. Route Personnel Utilization: For two Orinda Moraga routes and one Lafayette route, it was found that in comparison with other routes 07 0;, 77 --..-.--------------- 1074 franchised, the Personnel were not being utilized to their capacity. It was recommended that increased operating costs due to the addition of new routes, without utilizing the available capacity, would not be the basis for an increase in collection rates. President Boneysteele requested that staff further investigate this and report back at the meeting of July 21, 1977. President Boneysteele reverted to the order of the Agenda.
