An increase of $900,000 in leacheate pre-treatment expenses is also being requested, as the Heartland Leachate Evaporator is expected to become operational in the upcoming fiscal year. The budget also includes $3.4M for the Household Hazardous Waste Building, $390,000 for the leacheate evaporator chemical storage building, $780,000 fora new drop-off facility and $1.1M for the design and permitting of Cell 3. The combination of these increased costs has necessitated an increase in the SWDD Assessments and Fees. Staff is proposing the following SWDD rates for FY 2022/23. Staff is working to finalize a new rate study for SWDD, and we intend to present the results over the next few months. The existing rate model has been in place since 1995 and needs to be updated to account for changes in waste generation and disposal characteristics. For instance, SWDD is budgeting for an increase of 9% in waste stream to the landfill for next year; however, the assessment roll has only grown by 0.6%. This dynamic has contributed • to the need for the assessment rates proposed below: SWDD Rate FY 2021/22 Rate FY 2022/23 Rate Variance % Change Commercial Waste Generation Unit (W.G.U) $ 47.64 $ 55.19 $ 7.55 15.8% Residential Waste Generation Unit (W.G.U) $ 84.76 $ 92.18 $ 7.42 8.8% Equivalent Residential Unit (E.R.U.) $ 135.62 $ 147.49 $ 11.87 8.8% Readiness -to -Use Fee (W.G.U.) $ 29.51 $ 32.84 $ 3.33 11.3% Landfill Residue Disposal Fee $ 23.23 $ 24.23 $ 1.00 4.3% Number of W.G.U.'s 232,471 233,867 1,396 0.6% W.G.U. = One ton of waste annually Construction of the new Sandridge Golf Course Clubhouse is scheduled for commencement in the upcoming fiscal year. In order to stay competitive with surrounding courses, provide funding for increased contract maintenance costs, and offset the Clubhouse cost, staff is proposing an increase of $2 in 9 -hole rates and $4 in 18 -hole rates. This increase in rates is expected to generate an additional $304,861, which will support funding for the new facility. Even after these increases, Sandridge rates will remain lower than most courses in the area. As recommended in the Comprehensive Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Rate Study, an annual CPI adjustment to Utilities rates is being recommended for the upcoming fiscal year. The CPI proposed is 3.0% and is expected to generate approximately $1M in additional revenue. Although the CPI increase for May exceeded 3.0% (9.2%), the maximum adjustment recommended per the rate study is 3.0%. It is • anticipated that these increases will be needed on an annual basis going forward. m
