BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The City of Englewood passed Ordinance 25 , Series of 1987 on April 20 , 1987 instituting the Waste
Transfer Surcharge . The Surcharge imposes a twenty cent surcharge on each cubic yard or portion
thereof by each person disposing of trash at a waste transfer facility. The definition of "person " in the
ordinance includes political subdivisions of the State of Colorado.
The City of Englewood has received requests for waiver of the surcharge for public purposes .
Englewood , Littleton, and Sheridan have requested waivers for their annual "clean-up" programs. The
City Council of Englewood approved Ordinance 22, Series of 1995 to approve the waiver of the
surcharge. The waiver sunsets on December 31, 1998 so the waiver must be extended at this time for
the 1999, 2000, and 2001 annual cleanups .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The waiver will reduce potential revenues by an estimated $1,000 annually.
