STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Page 1 of 4
DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Rates for Garbage Collection, Disposal, and Recycling
Services Provided by Amador Valley Industries and Establishing the 202 6-
27 Annual Assessment
Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting resolutions establishing the garbage rates effective
July 1, 2026 and establishing the Fiscal Year 2026-27 refuse-related property tax assessment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the following: 1) Resolution Approving and
Establishing the Collection of Minimum Residential Garbage and Recycling Service Fees for
Fiscal Year 2026-27; and 2) Resolution Approving the Amended Schedule of Service Rates
for Integrated Solid Waste Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the annual rate adjustment will result in a 4.45% increase across all
service rates. For example, the monthly fee for residential garbage and recycling service,
collected as an annual assessment on the Property Tax bill, will increase by $2.29 for the
standard 32-gallon garbage container to a new monthly total of $46.95. Rate increases for all
service categories, including residential, commercial, multi-family, construction, and demolition
debris, are detailed in Attachment 3.

DESCRIPTION:
In January 2005, the City executed an agreement with Amador Valley Industries, LLC (AVI) for
services that began on July 1, 2005, and continued through June 30, 2020. On June 16, 2020,
the City Council approved an Amended and Restated Agreement with AVI, extending the
contract term to 2035. The agreement introduced a new rate model that outlines annual rate
adjustments, separates component costs, and includes regular financial reviews. The financial
reviews, conducted every three years by a third-party administrator, verify the reasonableness
of costs and revenues, and ensure that AVI maintains an industry-standard operating margin.
In 2024, AVI notified the City of its intent to sell the company, which was then purchased by
Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI). On August 20, 2024, the City Council approved the
assignment of the agreement to LSI and authorized the execution of a new Amended and
Restated Agreement. Livermore Sanitation, Inc. will continue to operate under the name AVI.
Annual Rate Adjustment Calculation
The agreement provides that rates must be reasonably forecasted to provide AVI with an
appropriate level of compensation. The forecasting methodology compares customer counts
between the two most recent calendar years to calculate revenue generation based on the
level of services provided multiplied by the appropriate rates. Rates are adjusted across all
service sectors to meet the calculated revenue requirement set forth by the rate model.
As required in the agreement, the City has provided AVI with info rmation showing the rate
calculations and assumptions. Section 5.13.1 states “…the final decision of the rate structure
rests solely with the City.” The proposed rate structure for Fiscal Year 2026 -27 is estimated to
meet the compensation requirement of $32,622,617. This compensation is possible as a result
of a proposed 4.45% increase to all categories. Attachment 4 includes a detailed description of
the methodology required by the agreement.
The rate adjustment also includes a new component added by the Waste Management
Authority Board, commonly known as StopWaste. StopWaste is a Countywide joint powers
agency, of which the City is a member, that is responsible for various regulatory activities
related to solid waste handling. Among other things, it is responsible for assisting its member
agencies with complying with various state solid waste-related mandates, such as compliance
with the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery’s SB 1383 regulations, which are
designed to reduce greenhouse gases by reducing the organics delivered to landfills. In order
to recover its costs, StopWaste adopted an ordinance establishing a new regulatory fee to
recover costs incurred in administering regulatory programs on behalf of its member
jurisdictions. The fee adds $0.30 per month to residential accounts, and roughly $2 per month
(calculated on service level and frequency) for commercial accounts. This fee applies uniformly
to all member jurisdictions.
Detailed Comparison of Current and Proposed Rates
Attachment 5 compares the proposed rates to the current rates for all service levels. The
current rates were effective July 1, 2025 and the proposed rates would be effective July 1,
2026.

Competitiveness of Dublin Rates with Neighboring Agencies
Historically, Staff has included a comparison of the Dublin rates compared to rates charged for
similar services in surrounding communities. This comparison has focused solely on the
garbage rates, as historically, recycling and organic waste were seen as smaller,
complimentary services. This is no longer true with the implementation of S enate Bill 1383
(mandatory organic waste disposal reduction laws), as well as other regional and statewide
laws. Looking specifically at garbage rates no longer offers a clear “apples to apples ”
comparison.
Recycling. For example, Livermore now charges recycling at 80% of the garbage rate,
Castro Valley is at 71%, and San Ramon at 50%, where Dublin charges 25%.
Organic Waste. The same pattern is now occurring with organic waste, in which Dublin
charges 50% of the garbage rate and Castro Valley charges 1 45%, but as regulations change
and options for disposal become more limited, these services have become more expensive,
and cities are adjusting for that reality.
Overall, Dublin remains competitive, and the services offered are comparable to the cities
surveyed, especially when factoring in the different types of services provided (garbage,
recycling, organics, etc.). The current three-agency comparison is included as Attachment 6;
and as in last year’s comparison, Staff has included Castro Valley Sanitation District as part of
the average calculation in place of Pleasanton, to include three service areas that offer similar
services. Pleasanton’s cost structure has become an outlier in the Tri-Valley and when
incorporating their costs into an “area average,” it skews the perspective of Dublin’s
competitiveness (in reality Dublin’s rates are comparable to those of Livermore and San
Ramon). Pleasanton’s costs have been included for reference only but are not included in the
three-agency average calculations.
Minimum Residential Garbage Service
Dublin Municipal Code Section 5.32 requires that all properties in Dublin subscribe to a weekly
minimum garbage service. This minimum service includes weekly curbside collection of a 32-
gallon garbage container; up to two organic waste carts (96 gallons ea ch); up to two recycling
carts (96 gallons each); recycling collection of used oil and filters; an annual household
hazardous waste drop-off event; and three on-call bulky waste pick-ups per year. Residents
desiring larger garbage containers are billed directly by AVI for the incremental rate difference.
The City pays AVI for the service cost of the minimum residential service of a 32 -gallon
garbage container with monies collected from the property tax bill.
The City Council will need to establish the annual minimum residential service, which is
collected with the property tax bill for residential properties, separately from the rates for other
levels of service. The proposed annual fee for basic residential service for Fiscal Year 2026 -27
is $563.40, which is collected in two installments on the property tax bill. This equates to a total
annual increase of $27.48 ($2.29 per month) above the rate levied in Fiscal Year 2025-26, as
shown in Table 1. These amounts include the $0.30 per month StopWaste fee discussed
above.

This base rate includes $0.55 per month to cover the cost associated with the collection being
included on the property tax bill. These funds are not paid to AVI but are retained by the City to
offset the administrative cost in preparing the tax roll. Additionally, the cost of collection and
delinquencies for the basic service is expected to be covered by the prior year fund balance,
penalties, and prior year taxes collected by the County Tax Collector, and interest on funds
held prior to payment to AVI.

Exhibit A
City of Dublin
RESIDENTIAL MINIMUM GARBAGE / RECYCLING SERVICES
(Collected With Residential Property Tax Bills)
Basis of Fees
The City has negotiated a multi-year agreement with Livermore Sanitation, Inc. operating as Amador
Valley Industries (AVI) requiring a rate adjustment to t he residential minimum garbage / recycling
services collected with the property tax bills. The current annual fee of $5 35.92 per year will increase
$27.48 for a total of $563.40 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The annual assessment equates to a
monthly increase of $2.29, from $44.66 to $46.95. The Amended and Restated Agreement with AVI
sets the compensation for the Agreement Year that begins July 1, 2024 and provides for annual
adjustments to the rates based upon annual changes in three separate indices, two of which are
maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Refuse Rate Index), plus pass -through disposal costs,
for waste, recyclables and organics. The three indices account for cost changes in the following
categories: growth in services; labor; and all other costs. In addition, the Agreement allows for a third-
party administrator to review costs and revenue every three years to confirm reasonableness and to
ensure that an industry standard level of operating margin is being maintained by AVI.
In order to determine the fee, the City estimates the total revenue required to pay AVI for the
Minimum Service to all residential units that are eligible to use the service, according to the terms of
the agreement. The specific factors considered in this calculation include the following components:
the residential rate for Minimum Service; estimated number of housing units affected by the fee; costs
associated with the collection of the fee as part of the Property Tax Bill; estimated delinquencies;
estimated revenues from late payments and interest earnings; and funds available from collections in
a prior year.
Affected Parcels
Chapter 5.32 of the Dublin Municipal Code requires the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of
the community by requiring that all parcels obtain minimum weekly garbage service. Residential
housing units are billed for the cost of Minimum Garbage Service, which is included with the annual
property tax bill. This fee only applies to residential units which have individual garbage con tainers
and are not serviced by central bins. This does include duplexes and other attached housing types,
which receive individual service.
Households subject to this fee, which only receive Minimum Service, will not be billed by the Garbage
Company. Amador Valley industries will bill customers each quarter for additional services, if a
household selects weekly garbage collection of a container larger than the 32 -gallon container
included in the Minimum Service Level.
Services Provided By the Fee
Minimum service includes weekly curbside collection of: one 32 gallon garbage container; up to two
96 gallon organic waste carts; up to two 96 gallon recycling carts; used oil and filters; an annual
household hazardous waste drop off event; and three on-call bulky waste pick-ups per year.
Amount of the Fee
The annual amount of the assessment includes the cost of collection as well as the cost of services
over the entire year. The City makes the payment to Amador Valley Industries based upon the current
rate allowed for Minimum Residential Service.

METHODOLOGY USED FOR FISCAL YE AR 2026-2027 ANNUAL GARBAGE RATE
ADJUSTMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CITY OF DUBLIN AND AMADOR VALLEY INDUSTRIES
Report Submitted To: City Council June 16, 2026
Prepared By: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
How Adjustment Factors Are Applied to Elements That Comprise Total Compensation
Annually, there is a process established where a revised total compensation figure is
developed. This calculation takes into consideration changes in the number of accounts
serviced as well as adjustments to eight elements.
1. Collection Compensation Element
2. Commercial Recycling Incentive Element
3. Disposal Compensation Element
4. Container Compensation Element
5. Recyclable Material Diversion Compensation Element
6. Organic Waste Diversion Compensation Element
7. Vehicle and Administration Element
8. Fee Compensation Element
1. Methodology for Adjusting Rates to Reflect Changes In Collection Costs
The Amendment with AVI contains a very detailed methodology for incorporating economic
changes into the annual rate adjustments. Specifically, two calculations are made as part of a
larger formula. The first is the Refuse Rate Index Adjustment (RRI) and the second an
Annual Growth factor.
Steps Required to Calculate the RRI Factor
The weighted RRI factor cannot exceed 10%, and it is calculated based on the weighted
percentage change in specific indices multiplied by the costs associated with key company
expenses. The following tables provide a summary description of how these factors are
interrelated:
STEP 1: INDICES USED IN RRI CALCULATION
Operating Cost Category Index Used
(To Produce A Weighted Adjustment)
% Index Change @
12/31/2025
LABOR Labor - Teamsters Union Local 70 Contract 7.77%
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE Machinery & Equipment-Parts, Attachments
and Accessories (wpu11440378) 2.66%
ALL OTHER Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers:
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA
(CUURS49BSA0)
2.22%
The Company provides the City with their expenditures in each of these areas over Calendar
Year 2025. These costs are AVI expenses and exclude disposal costs or fees paid to the
City. The total costs for the year are used to determine the weighting to be applied for each of
the indices. The following table shows the actual weighting used in the FY 2026-2027
calculation.
STEP 2: RRI WEIGHTING FACTOR BASED ON RELATIONSHIP TO TOTAL COSTS

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE $4,526,426 26.02%
ALL OTHER $5,499,895 31.61%
TOTAL $17,397,554 100%
As mentioned earlier, these factors are applied on a weighted basis. The index factor for
each cost category is multiplied by the weighting factor. The result will produce the RRI,
which per the agreement cannot exceed 10%. The following table shows the FY 2026-2027
results:

ALL OTHER 2.22% 31.61% 0.70%
TOTAL 100% 4.68%
Steps Required to Calculate the Annual Growth (AG) Factor
The AG factor uses a formula that compares revenue at two points in time. The “Beginning
Calculated Revenue” equals the current rates multiplied by the census as of the beginning of
January 2025. This is compared to the “Ending Calculated Revenue”. The Ending Calculated
Revenue is equal to the current rates multiplied by the December 2025 number of accounts
served. The adjustment reflects increases in the number of billed units served. The
methodology is relatively straight forward. The Agreement with AVI included an exhibit which
lists various service events. For example, it included the number of single family basic service
units, number of commercial bins by size, and frequency of service, etc. These are then
multiplied by the appropriate monthly rate. Residential service is a bundled rate for recycling
and garbage and, therefore, recycling is not included in the calculation. Moreover, each
single family unit is calculated at the Basic Rate regardless of whether they may have
multiple recycling or green waste bins. For the purpose of calculating growth, commercial
recycling bins are considered to have the same rate as commercial garbage bins with the
increase in bins from year to year factored within this formula.
For the FY 2026-2027 adjustment, the Agreement provides for the calculation to be done
based on the actual collection census data as of January 2025 and as of December 2025.
The rates used for this comparison are the rates in effect on July 1, 2025.
The FY 2026-2027 calculation showed that the “Beginning Calculated Revenue”, or the
revenue collected by AVI for all services provided for that month, was $3,340,597 and the
1756
3
“Ending Calculated Revenue” was $3,521,582. This results in a FY 2026-2027 Annual
Growth Factor of 5.42%. [$3,521,582- $3,340,597 = $180,985; $180,985/$3,340,597 =
0.0542]. Per Section 5.05.1.2 of the Agreement, if the percentage change is negative, that
year’s Annual Growth Factor is set at 0%.
Application of RRI and AG to Collection Compensation Element
The calculated FY 2026-2027 Collection Compensation Element amount is $18,901,447. In
accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement, the total Collection Compensation
Element is broken into two amounts. 1) The amount that is to be included as part of the
annual rate adjustment $16,366,877 (Adjusted Amount) 2) The amount that will not be
adjusted annually and will be set at $840,000 for the term of the Amendment. (Set Amount).
The Adjusted Amount is first adjusted by the AG Factor [$16,366,877 * (1+.0542)
=$17,253,962] and then that total is escalated by the RRI factor. [$17,253,962* (1 + .0468) =
$18,061,447]. The Adjusted Amount is then added to the Set Amount ($18,061,447 +
$840,000 = $18,901,447). This amount then flows into the projected total compensation
shown in Section 9 of this report.
2. Methodology for Adjusting Commercial Recycling Compensation
The City has agreed to provide a compensation amount to AVI for the City’s Commercial
Recycling Program. This amount is escalated each year by the RRI factor, which is
calculated as described above, and the growth in commercial recycling tonnage. As part of
the negotiation for the Amended and Restated Agreement, the City and AVI, agreed that this
element would be reset, in which a $421,795 credit is applied to the annual compensation
amount as described below. The FY 2026-2027 Commercial Recycling Compensation
Element final calculation was the following ($569,239 - $421,795 = $147,444).
The commercial recycling growth is calculated based on the total tonnage at the end of each
calendar year over the total tonnage for the previous. In years where the total tonnage has
decreased, the growth factor is set at 0%. For Calendar Year 2025, the total recycling tons
collected was 3,349.72 . In 2024, AVI collected 3,046.53. This results in an increase of 9.95%
(3,349.72 - 3,046.53= 303.19; 303.19 / 3,046.53 = 9.95%). Thus, the Commercial Recycling
Growth Factor is 9.95%, as discussed above, which is applied to the previous year’s
Commercial Recycling Program compensation amount [$494,574 * (1+.0995) = $543,790] ;
then that total is escalated by the RRI factor [$543,790 * (1+.0468) = $; $569,239] ($569,239
- $421,795 = $147,444) This amount then flows into the projected total compensation shown
in Section 9 of this report.
3. Methodology for Adjusting Rates to Reflect Changes in Landfill / Disposal Costs
Landfill disposal costs are established under a separate agreement between the City of
Dublin and Waste Management, Inc. AVI is required to use the disposal facility designated by
the City. AVI makes the payments for disposal costs and pays the price negotiated b y the
City under the separate agreement with Waste Management. Since these are expenses
incurred by AVI, these costs must also be considered in setting the rates. The landfill
component has the following two factors that impact the rates: 1) Tip Fee Factor, and 2)
Annual Tonnage Factor.
Approved Tip Fee(ATF) Factor
1757
4
In FY 2026-2027, the cost per ton for landfill fees will increase by $1.74 per ton as provided in
the disposal agreement with Waste Management , the increase for disposal is $1.65 and
$0.09 is due to increases in governmental fees. Therefore, the total disposal cost for FY
2026-2027 will be $50.86 per ton. Of this amount, $20.21 (40.0% of the per ton fee) is related
to regulatory fees and $30.65 reflects the portion paid to Waste Management for landfill
services.
The portion paid to Waste Management can increase only as provided in a Disposal
Agreement between the City and Waste Management . The regulatory fees are levied by
other agencies such as StopWaste.Org; County Local Enforcement Authority; California
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery; Household Hazardous Waste Fees;
County Business License; etc. This results in an ATF Factor of 3.54%. [2026 Rate =
$50.86/ton and 2025 Rate = $49.12/ton 50.86 - 49.12 = 1.74; 1.74/49.12 = 0.0354].
Annual Tonnage (AT) Factor
The tonnage increase for the FY 2026 - 2027 adjustment is based on disposal reports for the
period January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025 and is the summation of the monthly tonnages
over this period. This amount is then compared against the previous year’s disposal tonnage.
The total disposal in 2025 was 27,070.37 tons, and in 2024, it was 29,083.65 tons. This
results in an AT Factor of -6.92%. [27,070.37 - 29,083.65 = -2,013.28; -2,013.28/29,083.65 =-
0.0692].
Application of ATF and AT Factors to Disposal Compensation Element
The Landfill Compensation Element was $1,437,430 in 2025. In accordance with the
Agreement, this amount is first adjusted by the Annual AT Factor [($1,437,430 *-0.0692 = -
$99,470) + $1,437,430 = $1,337,960] and then that total is escalated by the ATF factor.
[($1,337,960* 0.0354 = $47,364) + $1,337,960 = $1,385,324]. This amount then flows into the
projected total compensation shown in Section 9 of this report.
4. Methodology Addressing Container Compensation Element
This element represents the amortized cost of carts and bins over the life of the agreement.
The allowed amount is modified by the AG factor. As noted above, this factor was calculated
at 5.42% for the FY 2026-2027 adjustment. For the FY 2025-2026 adjustment, the amount
designated for the Container Element was $339,533. Adjusting this amount by the AG Factor,
there will be a $18,403 increase in the calculated amount resulting in $357,936 to be
recovered from the rates in FY 2026-2027. [$339,533 * (1 + 0.0542) = $357,936].
5. Methodology Addressing the Recyclable Material Diversion Compensation Element
Section 5.05.08 of the Amended and Restated Agreement prescribes the process for
calculating the annual adjustment for the Recyclable Materials Diversion Compensation
Element. The City shall calculate the actual tonnage of delivered recyclable material for
processing in the prior calendar year by the anticipated per-ton tip fee to be charged during
the subsequent Agreement Year
Calendar 2025 Recycling Tonnage = 9,574.43
Anticipated Per-Ton Tip Fee =$131.21
Recyclable Materials Diversion Compensation Element = $1,256,261
1758
5
This amount then flows into the projected total compensation shown in Section 9 of this
report.
6. Methodology Addressing Organic Waste Diversion Compensation Element
Sections 5.05.09 and 5.05.10 of the Amended and Restated Agreement prescribes the
process for calculating the annual adjustment for the Organic Waste Diversion Compensation
Element. The Organic Waste shall be broken down into two categories, Commercial Food
Waste and All Other Organic Waste. The City shall calculate the actual tonnage of actual
organic waste delivered for processing from both Organic Waste Types to an Organic Waste
Processing Facility in the prior calendar year by the anticipated per-ton tip fee to be charged
during the subsequent Agreement Year as well as the anticipated per ton costs for hauling
and grinding the material.
Commercial Food Waste
Calendar 2025 Commercial Food Waste Tonnage = 2,724.47
Anticipated Per-Ton Tip Fee =$122.61
Anticipated Per-Ton Hauling Fee =$41.76
Per Ton Hauling/Disposal Fee = $164.37
Calendar 2025 Commercial Food Waste Tonnage = 2,724.47
Anticipated Per Ton Hauling/Disposal Fee=$164.37
Commercial Food Waste Cost = $447,821
All Other Organic Waste
Calendar 2025 All Other Organic Waste Tonnage = 7,267.42
Anticipated Per-Ton Tip Fee =$81.74
Anticipated Per-Ton Hauling Fee =$41.75
Per Ton Hauling/Disposal Fee = $123.49
Calendar 2025 All Other Organic Waste Tonnage = 7,267.42
Anticipated Per Ton Hauling/Disposal Fee=$123.49
All Other Organic Waste Cost = $897,454
Organic Waste Compensation Element
Commercial Food Waste =$447,821
All Other Organic Waste = $897,454
Organics Compensation Element = $1,345,275
This amount then flows into the projected total compensation shown in Section 9 of this
report.
7. Methodology Addressing Vehicle and Administration Element
Section 5.18 of the Amended and Restated Agreement states that beginning July 1, 2020 the
baseline Vehicle and Administration Asset Element shall be set at $1,595,575. That amount
1759
6
was increased to $1,611,659 to account for additional costs associated with SB 1383 . The
baseline amount shall not be subject to the annual rate adjustment. The Vehicle and
Administration Element can be adjusted, but only under the terms as prescribed under
sections 5.18 and 5.18.1 of the Amendment.
Vehicle and Administration Baseline Compensation = $1,611,549
Sections 5.18/5.18.1 Adjustments = $0
Vehicle and Administration Element $1,611,549
This amount then flows into the projected total compensation shown in Section 9 of this
report.
8. Methodology Addressing Fee Compensation Element
As part of the Agreement with the City of Dublin , AVI is required to remit franchise taxes and
certain fees to the City of Dublin based on a percentage of its revenue. Therefore, as the
company rates go up, the Fee Element must also be adjusted in order to recognize the fees
to be paid on the new revenue.
The Fee Compensation Element shall equal:
1. (Collection + Commercial Recycling Element + Disposal + Container Elements+
Recyclable Materials + Organic Waste + Vehicle and Administration) = “base
compensation”
2. “base compensation” is divided by (one (1) minus the “Current Fee Percentage”)
[Where the “Current Fee Percentage” = 23.35%]
3. subtract “base compensation” from the obtained value
For FY 2026-2027, the Fee Compensation Element Calculation is as follows:
($18,901,447 + $147,444 + $1,385,324 + $357,936 + $1,256,261 + $1,345,275 +
$1,611,549) = $25,005,236 (base compensation)
$25,005,236 / (1- 23.35%) =$25,005,236 / (76.65%)
$25,005,236 / 76.65% = $32,622,617
For FY 2026-2027, the calculated fees payable to the City are:
$32,622,617– $25,005,236 = $7,617,381
The adjusted total compensation for the Fee Element is shown in Section 6 below.
9. City Process of Developing Rates Projected to Meet Total Compensation
The final step in developing the rates is to test the total annual expected revenue to the
Company, when the rates are increased by different am ounts. It is necessary for the
adjustment to be at a level so that the total annual projected compensation to the Company
will equal $32,622,617. The calculation for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is performed using the
customer subscription figures as of December 2025.
