ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 23-390, relating to operating rules and updates to the Snohomish County Public Works Solid Waste Division Service Fee Schedule
body
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ORIGINATOR: Lori Ericsson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 9/8/23
PURPOSE: Approval of Motion updating the Solid Waste Service Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND: ? SW has multiple programmatic and capital projects which need to be completed in order to meet regulatory and infrastructure requirements. ? The Residual Reclamation Waste (RRW) program represents 20% of the waste exported in the County. ? Current fees associated with the program are $65/ton for material transported directly to the intermodal yard. ? A minimum weight of 23 tons per intermodal container was recently implemented in 2022 however the current fees do not accurately reflect actual expenses of program operation. ? SW recommends implementing a progressive increase of RRW fees until a larger rate analysis can be conducted. ? The current requested rate increase is from $65 to $85/ton. ? SW anticipates an additional $2.8 million dollars in revenue from the fee increase resulting in a 31% increase in RRW-related revenue.
