AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, MOVING THE RATE ADJUSTMENT
ANNIVERSARY DATE FOR SMALL QUANTITY GENERATOR RATES FROM
JULY I TO SEPTEMBER I EACH YEAR (SECOND READING)
Each year, staff reviews the solid waste rates survey from SANDAG to establish whether
or not Pacific Waste qualifies for a small quantity generator rate adjustment. It is
difficult to conduct an objective rate review in time for Pacific Waste to meet the
franchise agreement rate adjustment anniversary date of July I, as most of the
jurisdictions in the County also have a July I anniversary date. Therefore, moving Pacific
Waste's rate adjustment anniversary date to September I would allow a rate review that is
objectively based upon approved rates within the region. This ordinance was introduced
June 21, 2005. (Director of General Services)
