Should you have any, questions regarding the contents of this annual report, please contact me at (415) 435 -7392. Very truly yours, Scott Anderson Director of Community Development Enclosure: Town of Tiburon Annual General Plan Implementation Status Report for CY 2013 Cc: Digest S:Tlanning \Staff Folders \sanderson \Letters \opr -hcd letter CY2013.doc n� Peggy Curran, Town ManeEWEED Town of Tiburon APR - 12D14 1505 Tiburon Blvd. DIGEST a, 71D-FE , RATE iNPPuC,,�,-FfO�3 �- Cu.P9S1L-z SGtVxC;c PPOPOSA -L NNIP�(L -ABLE April 1, 2014 AT -MU-J N M'-L Tiburon, CA 94920 TOWN MANACERS G'rfeCE TOWN OFTIBURON This year, Mill Valley Refuse Service requests approval of a rate adjustment of 2.91 %, which is slightly above the Annual CPI rate of 2.2 %. A couple of factors contributed to our need to ask for this rate increase. This year, MVRS had to secure financing for 14 new trucks to meet California's stringent diesel engine emission rules. In past years we were able to meet emission standards by retrofitting our older trucks with new catalytic converter equipment. This enabled us to get the longest life possible out of our existing fleet in the most economical way. Now, however, even these trucks need to be replaced, and we have secured financing through a low -cost California bond to purchase 14 new trucks. Expenses associated with purchases to be made in 2014 include $272,000 in depreciation on new trucks, and $117,000 in interest and financing costs. Also, some unfortunate injuries to our workforce in the past year have increased our workers compensation costs by $223,000. Health care expenses have risen nearly 8 %, but are less than what they might have been due to switching most of our workers over to a less expensive plan with Kaiser. Finally, we have signed a new four -year labor contract with our Teamster Union workers that ties wage increases to the Annual CPI rate over the length of the contract term. In addition to this year's rate application, please note our Curbside Service and on- Premise Service Rate Proposal, which is a separate report from the application itself. You might remember a year ago when I first mentioned that the carry-cans our drivers use to go into backyards to pick up trash are no longer being mass manufactured. We had to take a serious look at how we were going to handle picking up trash cans in backyards without these carry-cans, so we conducted a survey of Bay Area trash haulers to see how they do it. Attached is our report on what's in store for us in a post- carry-can world. Basically, we are finally going to have to switch to curbside service for trash just as we currently do for recycling and compost. We do not plan at this time to distribute a third rolling cart to everyone, but will have residents continue to use the cans they currently own. We will be seeking approval of a rate structure that has separate Curbside, On- Premise, and On- Premise Plus rates depending on where residents and businesses choose to locate their trash. There will be an Exemption to on- premise rates offered for those who qualify due to physical disability. Our proposal is explained in the attached report. We ask that you please read and familiarize yourself with the issues involved and proposed rates for on- premise service. Details of On- Premise services and rates will appear on the Terms & Conditions pages of the Rate Sheet. This proposal is part of this year's 112 frontStreet • San Rafael, CA 94901 • 415 -457 -9760 • Fax:415- 457 -3003 • www.millvalleyrefjse.com rate application, but it would not go into affect until October 1 because of the time it will take to introduce it to the public. We look forward to discussing the rate application and Curbside Proposal with you. We understand that some Board and Council members might want to be briefed on these proposals so that they can voice concerns and make recommendations before you hold public hearings. We will follow up the delivery of these hard copies with emailed pdYs of the Application and Curbside Proposal so that you can forward them to Board and Council members. At the same time, we will include the 2014 Rate Sheet and Terms & Conditions to be approved in upcoming public hearings.

It is the first time we accomplished this with ALL VOLUNTEER LABOR. We had 7 or 8 volunteers at each session. The garden looks very clean now with all that pruning done & a number of dead plants removed. And by mid -March we have been seeing many plants in bloom. Due to the extreme cold in December we lost all of our Leucaspermum (Protea) plants & had to remove them. In May we will replace them with "Barley Boysenberry Mallow" when they will be available. We have four of them now planted last May. They were planted from 4 inch pots & now are 4 feet high X 3 feet+ high & in full bloom. They came through the cold December with no damage & are drought tolerant, & have a very long blooming period. To my list of requirements for new plants I have now added that they should be resistant to cold down to 20 degrees. In April we hope to add a small solar system to our irrigation of four stations. For the past year we have found dead batteries in one or more of our 4 stations periodically. That leads to stresses plants or dead plants. This new system made by Hunter charges the batteries by the sun & should eliminate this problem. By mid -April we plan to install 7 Lavender Dentata. They are not available yet but will be soon. And with all these recent rains we need to be on top of weed removal — easy to do when the soil is damp.
