Staff did not <br />recommend the amount of the increase in the fees completely proportional to the amount of <br />subsidy. The 32 gallon bi-weekly service tends to be elderly people on fixed income so a <br />lower increase is recommended. The current amount of subsidy for the 32 gallon weekly <br />assumes only 32 gallons of refuse is being placed in these containers each week. It is staff's <br />experience that this is the most abused container size due to over stuffing, so a larger <br />increase is recommended. Lastly, the increase to the 90 gallon container is recommended at <br />a slightly higher rate to economically encourage recycling in the hopes of reducing service to <br />a 60 gallon container. <br /> <br />Staff will be present at Monday night's meeting to answer any questions on this issue. <br /> <br /> <br />
