REPORT - APPROVAL OF RATE INCREASE OF 3.4% FOR RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA WHO UTILIZE RECOLOGY SANTA ROSA (RECOLOGY SONOMA MARIN), EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2025
BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa grants Recology Sonoma Marin (Recology) an exclusive franchise agreement for the collection and hauling of solid waste, including the three main streams of recycling, landfill, and organic waste. The City awarded this agreement to Recology Sonoma Marin in November of 2017 through a competitive process. Any rate increase for Santa Rosa Recology customers is subject to City oversight. Staff requested a detailed rate review to ensure Recology is appropriately compensated, but also to ensure Santa Rosa’s residents’ refuse rates are competitive.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by motion, approve a 3.4% rate increase for City of Santa Rosa customers of Recology Sonoma Marin effective January 1, 2025.
