SUBJECT:
Annual CPI Rate Adjustment for Solid Waste Collection Services
This memorandum presents the solid waste collection rate adjustment based upon the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) in accordance with Section 21 of our agrement with the City
of Meridian. This rate adjustment coincides with the beginning of the next fiscal year,
October 1, 2005.
Adjustment Methodology
Our agreement requires that our costs be adjusted annually based upon the ~net
percentage of change in the Consumer Price Index for the Pacific Northwest" (The CPI
is no longer published for the Pacific Northwest so we have used the CPI for the
Western Region of the United States.) Further, we reduce the calculated change in the
CPI by ten percent to account for aspects of the CPI that do not apply to our business.
Attached to this memorandum is the CPI printout from the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The CPI for July one year ago was 192.9 and this year it is 198.6. The net
percentage change between the two values is 2.95%. Then, reducing this number by 10
percent yields a CPI adjustment of 2.66% that is applied to our costs.
Another requirement of our contract is that we exclude the landfill portion of our fees
from the adjustment. In July, the Ada County landfill increased its disposal fees and
these costs were passed on to ratepayers. We have excluded these increased costs
from our rate calculations to accurately determine the amount of each increase.

Results of Rate Change
The current and proposed rates are presented in tabular form in an attachment to this
memorandum. The residential rate will increase by $0.20 per month for unlimited weekly
service with curbside recycling.
The percentage of change by various categories of rates is shown in Table 1. The
percentages vary with the different types of systems that we operate because each has
a different percentage that is disposal.
