With that agreement the City implemented the <br /> three-cart curbside program, the wet/dry commercial program and the <br /> sorted industrial waste programs that are currently in place . That <br /> agreement has been amended to provide alley and parkway clean-up. <br /> The proposed amended agreement will incorporate the additional services <br /> to the City into one agreement and extend the term of the agreement <br /> through the year 2018 . In exchange, the City will receive $1, 000, 000 in <br /> fiscal year 05-06 and $500, 000 in each of the remaining years of the <br /> agreement . These payments will not affect customer rates . <br /> Customer rates will continue to be competitive. In 2004 Santa Ana' s <br /> curbside rates were mid range and commercial rates were in the lower one- <br /> third of the rates in the County. Currently, these rates may be <br /> increased each year by 7 . 5% . With the proposed amended agreement the <br /> rates can only be increased each year by 5 percent . <br /> Under the proposed amended agreement Waste Management will continue to <br /> utilize the trucks purchased by the City in 1996 and will begin replacing <br /> them in 2006 with low emission vehicles . In addition, collection of <br /> televisions, computers and monitors will be included with the City' s <br /> large item pickup service for curbside customers . <br />
