Exhibit 2-2 continued... Lauderdale "The average price for haulers in the city of Lauderdale is $17.09/month (60 gallon cart). The average price of organized collection in other cities is $12.06/month (60 gallon cart)." Memo to Rick Getschow, City Administrator, Lauderdale, from Paul Heuer, Bonestroo Rosene Aderlik & Associates, Engineers & Architects, 4/9/01. Minnesota Attorney General's Report A report was prepared on organized collection in 1993 by the Attorney General's Office, Antitrust Division. It studied 13 Ramsey and Washington County municipalities with organized collection, and concluded that municipalities that have organized collection should regularly go through a procurement process to increase chances of getting better rates for residents. It found "Based on the average adjusted per -household monthly rates for 30-32 gallon, 60-64 gallon, 90 - 96 gallon, and unlimited collection services, the surveyed communities that continued relationships with local haulers were paying between 17.6 and 48.5 percent more than communities that had competitively selected haulers." 1993 Metro Area Study In 1993 the Metropolitan Council hired the consulting firm GBB to analyze organized collection. This was prior to the Supreme Court's action to strike down flow control. In addition, the city of Chanhassen hired GBB to analyze this issue. The data from GBB's survey of municipalities in metro area study (7-County Metro Region) and the city of Chanhassen organized collection study are shown in the table below, and are the average residential generator charges per month. The report included the following note: "...other factors besides the institutional structure of the collection system affect generator charges, especially differences in service levels, differences in the recyclables collected, and differences in collection frequency. For all four categories of trash service, the regional median was $15.23 for organized and $17.16 for open."
