SEP �), 0 1983 City Engineer McGee reported the County of San Bernardino has announced that the dump fees for disposal of refuse at County land- fills will be increased from $3.50 per ton to $5.85 per ton effective October 1, 1983. Mr. McGee said this increase in fees will increase costs to the City estimated at $35-40,000. NMr. McGee said the Utilities Commission at their September meeting recommended that residential fees be increased 10% and that the por- tion of the commercial refuse charge in excess of the bin rental also be increased by 10%. Mr. McGee said this recommendation will produce Q revenues of approximately $46,000. Mr. McGee recommended approval of Resolution No. 4372 increasing residential rates to $4.40 per month and increasing commercial rates to $1.55 per cubic yard plus container rental. Councilman Rehrer stated the proposal to increase Refuse Fees upset him because the citizens were told that rates would not be increased ^ if the City went to once a week pickup. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to deny Resolution No. 4372. Unanimous vote.
