RESOLUTION NO. 15265
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
AUTHORIZING MAXIMUM RATES COLLECTED BY MARIN SANITARY SERVICE
FOR REFUSE AND RECYCLABLE MATERIAL COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL
SERVICES TO BE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2024, AND DETERMINING THAT THE
CITY’S FRANCHISE FEES AND REFUSE VEHICLE IMPACT FEES ARE JUSTIFIED
BY THE CITY’S COSTS OF PROVIDING SOLID WASTE SERVICES, REASONABLE
CHARGES FOR THE USE OF CITY PROPERTY FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES,
AND THE COSTS OF ADDRESSING THE IMPACTS OF SOLID WASTE REFUSE
VEHICLES.
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael and Marin Sanitary Service have entered into an
“Amendment and Restatement of Collection Agreement of the City of San Rafael and Marin
Sanitary Service,” dated September 4, 2001 and amended by a written first amendment dated
March 1, 2005, a written second amendment dated November 14, 2012, a written third amendment
dated February 25, 2019, and a written fourth amendment approved by the City Council on
December 6, 2021 (hereafter the “Franchise Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Section 3 (B) of the Franchise Agreement provides for maximum rates allowed
to be collected by Marin Sanitary Service, to be authorized from time to time by the City Council;
and
WHEREAS, Exhibit "C" of the Franchise Agreement provides rate schedules, to be
authorized by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Marin Sanitary Service has submitted a rate application request for 2024 using
the methodology outlined under Section 3 (A) of the Franchise Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael has conducted a review of said rate application based
on a formula determined by Marin Sanitary Service’s actual cost of service and produced a report
concurring with Marin Sanitary Service’s rate and fee adjustments; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael adopted by resolution an amendment to the Franchise
Agreement dated January 6, 1997 to include an annual franchise fee in the amount of 10% of gross
receipts; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael has conducted a review of said franchise fees based on
the City’s actual cost of providing solid waste-related services and the reasonable values of City
property used for solid waste services and produced a report justifying the City’s annual franchise
fee amounts (“Franchise Fee Report”); and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael adopted a resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule
to increase the Refuse Vehicle Impact Fee in order to pay for the increased costs of addressing the
impacts of refuse vehicles on City streets; and
2
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael has conducted a review of said Refuse Vehicle Impact
Fees, set forth in the Franchise Fee Study, and determined that the fees do not exceed the City’s
reasonable costs of addressing the impacts of refuse vehicles on City streets; and
WHEREAS, the rates for solid waste service are set and imposed by MSS and the City’s
franchise fees and Refuse Vehicle Impact Fees are set by the Franchise Agreement, and by
adopting this resolution, the City does not intend to impose any rates, fees, or charges on solid
waste customers. However, to the extent that the adoption of this resolution results in the City’s
imposition of any fees, rates, or charges, on solid waste customers, for services or facilities in
connection with a solid waste system, including the franchise fees or the Refuse Vehicle Impact
Fees, those charges are adopted pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 5471; and
WHEREAS, on December 18, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to
consider the rate application request and receive public testimony thereon; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael has determined that such rate and fee adjustments are
proper, in the best interest of all citizens, and will promote public health, safety and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL DOES
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The schedule of maximum rates and fees attached hereto as "Exhibit C" and
incorporated herein by reference, is hereby approved to be collected by Marin Sanitary Service for
refuse and recyclable material collection and disposal services, at an increased rate of 6.22% over
2023 rates, to be effective January 1, 2024. Said “Exhibit C” shall be incorporated as the revised
Exhibit "C" to the Franchise Agreement.
Section 2. The City Council accepts and adopts the Franchise Fee Study and finds and determines
that the City’s franchise fees and Refuse Vehicle Impact Fees comply with Article XIII C of the
California Constitution and are justified by the City’s costs of providing solid waste-related services,
reasonable charges for the use of City property for solid waste services, and the City’s costs of
addressing the impacts of solid waste refuse vehicles.
I, Lindsay Lara, City Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby certify that the foregoing
Resolution was duly and regularly introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council
of the City of San Rafael, held on Monday, the 18th of December 2023, by the following vote, to wit:
