Gentlemen:
On August 22, 1978, the County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolu-
tion increasing landfill disposal fees 80%, effective October 1, 1978.
All of the wastes collected within the City of Chula Vista are deposited
in the county landfill, and will be subject to this increase, but we have
not yet developed the specific impact upon individual households or com-
mercial customers. In addition, the CPI for San Diego has increased
8. 2% since our last rate increase was granted.
The purpose of this letter is to request the council to schedule a public
hearing on our forthcoming rate increase request. Timely action is
required in order that any rate adjustments may be reflected in our 4th
quarter billing, which is normally prepared during the last week of Sep-
tember.
We regret this extremely short notice, but know that you are aware that
this situation is beyond our control. Please be assured that our specific
request and supporting documentation will follow at the earliest possible
time. (See attachment for approximate increases. )
Our staff is available for discussion of this issue at your convenience.
Yours truly,
~~ „~''`

In light of the fact that we were unsure of the exact amount of the pro-
posed landfill increase by the county until August 22, we are not pre-
pared at this time to present a complete package in support of our rate
increase request. However, the 80°jo upward adjustment in landfill costs
and the increase in our cost of operations due to the CPI increases of
8. 2% over the past year will result in the need for additional revenue of
about 122 to 14%, or about 45~ per household.
