PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
Mayor Pro-Tem Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none. The
floor was then opened to Staff and Council. Administrator Whitehall explained that the rates presented in Exhibits 1
and 2 reflects a 3.6 percent Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase as set out in the existing contract with Waste
Management. Commercial rates would increase approximately 4.5 to 5.3 percent. However, prior to the Council
Meeting, Staff has been negotiating with Waste Management for any type of rate reduction. The compromise between
Staff and Waste Management's proposal to present is holding the rates with no increase of any kind whatsoever,
extend the current contract (which expires September 30, 2014) for three additional years and change the future CPI
cap. The percentage has not been settled as yet. Mr. Craig Ahaul and Mr. Gary Brpswell of Waste Management were
present to address any questions.
Mr. Ahaul addressed the Council's questions that this proposal was acceptable to Waste Management and added that
they will not request a two-year CPI increase next year, it will be as though all rate components, residential and
commercial are frozen for one year, and he would be willing to hear the Council's opinions on the increase in the future
CPI. Council Member Williams noted he did not like the contract with the built-in CPI. Council and Staff then briefly
discussed the pros and cons of having a CPI built into the contract. The consensus is change the CPI cap to 4 percent,
originally Waste Management was asking for 7.5 percent and the City began with 3.5 percent.

Proposed Motion:

dependent health insurance cost.
2. Proposed Motion:

eligible employees effective October 1", 2011 and for the City to pay 100% of the

$70.00 toward dependent health insurance cost.
Background: The City in the past, has paid 100% of all Employees Health

City cost for renewal, BlueOptions 3748 Plan : $306,304
