There were no objections. 00- REPORTS OF OFFICERS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES Director of Community Services Smith explained the agreement between the City and Webster's Refuse Disposal that has been in existence since 1979 for the exclusive right to collect all refuse from residential and commercial concerns. A cost of living adjustment is made each year under the contract and negotiations are entered into if dumping fees or other direct costs change at a greater rate than the Consumer Price Index. He outlined the two plans that have been submitted by Webster's and explained the survey that was conducted by the City to evaluate the recent increase requests. Staff feels that a rate increase that would be supportable plus the cost of living adjust- ment would total to a rate of $7.95 per month. Foster Nichols, representing Webster's Disposal, explained the position of Webster's relating to discussing the extension and updating of the contract with the City/ and the company's ability to absorb the dumping fees if they are assured that they will have a contract that extends past 1989. In response to Mayor King's question, Mr. Nichols stated that it was difficult for Webster's to disclose financial information and have it become public infor- mation. This then becomes available to other haulers and puts Webster's at a disadvantage. Councilman Gibson recommended that the recommended rate be adjusted to $8.00, instead of the $7.97 average, to assist Websters in recouping the fees that they have absorbed. It was moved and seconded to approve Resolution No. 88-4, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 87-4 SETTING FEES AND CHARGES FOR ISSUANCE, PROCESSING AND FILING OF VARIOUS CITY SERVICES PERMITS AND LICENSES," and setting the Residential Fees at an even $8.00.
