UTILITY BILLING
Memorandum:
To: Darrin Coker, City Atty
From: Missy Miller, Utility Accounts Supervisor
Subject: Rate Increase for Waste Management
Date: October 2, 1998
EXHIBIT
Waste Management has submitted a request, dated October 1,1998, for a 4% rate increase. It is
my understanding from their representative, Stan Weik, that this is to be an "across the board"
increase. In checking over the new rates that were submitted I noticed that the small commercial
service had been omitted. Those rates will also be increased as follows:
Old Rate New Rate
Small Commercial ix per week $18.47 $19.21
Small Commercial 2x's per week 26.32 27.38
In the near future we need discuss amending our current contract to better accommodate and
service our "outlying" customers.
