The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and <br />declares as follows: <br />A.

Pursuant to the exclusive contract, the City currently receives a 12.8 percent <br />surcharge from Contractor based upon its Gross Receipts. The funds received <br />pursuant to the surcharge are used in part to pay for the costs of administering the <br />refuse collection and recycling program and supporting the federal clean water <br />protection activities. <br />C. The City's costs associated with administering the refuse collection and recycling <br />program and Federal Clean Water Act requirements have increased above the amounts <br />currently collected pursuant to this program surcharge. It is recommended that the <br />surcharge on business and apartment services be increased by three percent (3%) to <br />offset these increased costs. <br />D. The increase in the refuse program surcharge established by this resolution is <br />estimated to collect $435,000 to pay the cost of administering the refuse collection <br />program. <br />E. The City Council incorporates herein, as though fully set forth, the Request For <br />Council Action accompanying this resolution, and all background information and <br />studies presented to the City Council. <br />Section 2.
