ISSUE/ ACTION PROPOSED
Staff seeks City Council approval of the attached bill for an ordinance allowing waivers of
the Waste Transfer Surcharge for municipal clean-up projects.
-PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
April 20 , 1987 : Ordinance No. 25 instituted the Waste Transfer Surcharge.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Waste Transfer Surcharge instituted in 1987 imposes a surcharge of twenty cents on
each cubi c y ard or portion thereof by each person disposing trash at a waste transfer
facility . In the ordinance, the definibon of "person" includes any political subdivision of the
•te. •
In recent years the City has received annual requests for waivers of the surcharge for public
purposes. The cities of Englewood, Sheridan, and Littleton, desire waivers of the surcharge
for their annual "clean-up" programs. Staff recommends amending Title 4, Chapter 7 of the
Englewood Municipal Code to add a section that waives the surcharge for Arapahoe
County mtmicipalities conducting summer clean-up programs .
The ordinance "sunsets" December 31 , 1995, so the waiver is effective only for the next~
summer seasons.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
• Potential annual revenues of approximately $1,000 would be lost.
