The first year's rates were based on estimated tonnage of 71,000 tons but actual tonnage was around 56,606 tons. Residents overpaid by $1 million in the first year (14,400 tons times net tipping fee of $69). +2 Ord 20-32 10/18/2020 8:35 AM Nit Picky (Unhappy) Garbage Customer   Against I suppose nobody noticed the (all-too-typical) $2.00 typo/error on Page 5 of the "2021 Rates Presentation To Council 10-21-20 FINAL" -- EOW Quarterly Cart Bill @ $57.23 vs $59.23 +4 Ord 20-32 10/18/2020 3:03 AM Sm EOW customer   Against The small every-other-week option should be half the price of the small every-week option for collection and disposal costs. The cost allocation is based on a bogus ***umption that each cart regardless of size or frequency of pickup requires a fixed cost to service. If everyone had every-other-week service, then the cost should drop in half because the haulers would need half as many trucks and employees. +5
