trash, rubbish, and disposable material. The proposed rates
were developed to meet operating cost increases of approxi-
mately 17.5% since the last rate increase in 1978 and
7.5% as a "pass through" cost to meet the landfill fee in-
crease effective July 1, 1980 authorized by the County.

rates will not exceed the 9% - I0% rate-of-return on in-
vestment considered appropriate by the Council in previous
rate reviews.

1484 Jade Court high cost of fuel equipment and increased land fill fees

Sanitary Service) service as they have in the past.

Chula Vista Sanitary service operated at a loss for the last few months and if
Service the rate increase is not granted, they will have to go out
of business. He responded to questions and discussed meter-
ing the service to limit the number of containers permitted
indicating this probably should be considered further at
some time in a contract amendment.
