This agreement incorporates the changes discussed at our meeting of October 25`h. Those key points are as follows: ✓ Our rates will be five percent higher than North St. Paul's rates that are in effect on January 1s`, 2007. ✓ The City may structure the rates in the manner we dete „line most appropriate to address tax issues that are passed on to the residents. ✓ Our contract will adjust by 2.25% per year commencing January 1s', 2008. ✓ The contract teuu is five years. ✓ Single sort will start as soon as possible. Recycling rates will remain at current levels until single sort is implemented. ✓ The City will take over billing (added to our water bills) ✓ No fuel surcharge for the first three years of the contract. In years four and five, a fuel surcharge will be allowed if diesel is $3.25 or greater per gallon, but the maximum impact will be one percent (1 %). ✓ Bulky item collection will be added. The cost will be $1.00 per household per month. It will be limited to three items per residence per year. (This will negate the need for clean -up day to a large extent.) ✓ No clean -up day costs to be paid by the haulers. ✓ To address overcharges that have occurred since August of 2005, the haulers will continue to provide free pick -up of city properties, and including Canadian Days Staff will present a recommendation for charges to residents for implementation with our utility billing in the first quarter of 2007. Subject to any comments by the City Attorney, staff recommends approval of this agreement as presented.
