<br />- City Manager's Report -
<br />
<br />10 - 112 - Adoption of an ordinance appropriating in the FY 2009-2010 Waste
<br />Management Fund the sum of $2,844,870 in previously unappropriated refuse fees.
<br />Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community.
<br />
<br />Background:
<br />. When the FY 2009-2010 budget was adopted on May 12, 2009 the SPSA fee
<br />was $107.00 per ton. After the budget was approved SPSA increased its tipping fee to
<br />$170.00 per ton. Although as of July 1, 2009 the City of Portsmouth set an increased
<br />refuse fee from $32.00 per unit to $40.72 per unit (per Ordinance, Appendix A-Fee
<br />Schedule Chapter 16-64) the FY 2009-2010 budget was not amended to reflect the
<br />additional revenue generated from the rate increase.
<br />. The requested action is a legal "housekeeping" matter.
<br />
<br />Discussion:
<br />. The approved FY 2009-2010 Waste Management Budget is $13,280,850.
<br />. Revenue generated from the increased refuse charge of $40.72/month for
<br />33,000 accounts is $16,125,120 or increased revenues of $2,844,870 for the FY 2009-
<br />2010.
