CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY
RESOLVES as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are hereby found to be true and correct and
incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the Rate Adjustments, as provided
in Exhibits"A," "B," "C" meet the substantive requirements of Proposition 218 (Cal. Const.
Art. XIIID) as follows:
a. Fee for Service Provided Only: Revenues derived from the fee may not be
used for any purpose other than that for which the fee was imposed.
Except for reasonable and normal administrative costs of the City, the fees
collected are used to pay the City's franchised solid waste collection
company, VVSOC, for the Solid Waste Services it provides to the City's
residential and commercial customers.
b. Fee not to Exceed Cost of Service: Revenues derived from the fee may not
exceed the funds required to provide Solid Waste Service.
The City's cost for Solid Waste Service is established by the Agreement,
including all amendments thereto, which it negotiated with VVSOC as the
lowest-cost contractor for Solid Waste Services available. However, the
State of California's recently approved Short-Lived Climate Pollutant
Reduction Strategy requires residential and commercial organic waste
recycling starting in 2022. To comply with the state's strategy, the City
Council directed the City's waste hauler VVSOC to develop an organic
waste recycling program that meets the new state mandates. Along with the
organic waste recycling program, Rate Adjustments include the following:
(1) adjustment to the recycling program to account for the collapse of the
global market for recyclables; and (2) adjustment to the applicable
Consumer Price Index (CPI) calculation to account for rising inflation.
With respect to the Organic Waste Recycling Program, the City's Public
Works department and City's solid waste expert, MuniEnvironmental,
reviewed VVSOC's program and proposed franchise amendments
(including the Rate Adjustments). That review concluded WSOC's organic
waste recycling program meets state requirements and also determined the
organic waste recycling program's rates, methodology and equipment
needs are appropriate and within industry standards. The City Council
approved this program on November 22, 2021. The City's Public Works
department and MuniEnvironmental also determined the Rate Adjustments
are reasonable and within industry standards.
With respect to the Organics Recycling Compliance Fee, the state's Short-
Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy imposes significant new
administrative obligations on the City, which is estimated to be
approximately $100,000 per year. Therefore, a 1.5% Organics
Recycling Compliance Fee on residential and commercial waste collection
rates is proposed as part of the Rate Adjustments to fund these costs. The
Organics Recycling Compliance Fee component is projected to generate
approximately $100,000 a year to cover these costs.
86
With respect to the CPI Calculation Adjustment, the Agreement provides an
annual CPI-based fee adjustment every April. The CPI adjustment is
capped at 3.5% on regular disposal and 5% on green waste/organic waste
disposal; however, in order to account for rising inflation,the CPI adjustment
has been modified as follows: if/when CPI exceeds the established caps,
rates increase to the cap, plus 85% of the CPI increase above the cap. This
will ensure that rates do not exceed the costs of providing Solid Waste
Services.
c. Fee not to Exceed Proportional Cost: The amount of the fee may not
exceed the proportional cost of the refuse service attributable to the parcel.
The proposed rates are reasonably proportional and cost-based, and meet
the general requirements of fairness and equity under Proposition 218.
d. Fee Imposed Only for Service Actually Used: Fees may be imposed only
for service that is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner
of the property subject to the fee or charge.
The fees are only imposed for the provision of Solid Waste Services.
e. Fee May Not Be Used for General Governmental Services: Revenues
derived from the fee may not be used for the provision of general
governmental services, such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, where
the service is available to the public in substantially the same manner as it
is to property owners.
These fees are only imposed upon customers of Solid Waste Services,
which services are not provided to the public in general. Further, these fees
will only be used for the provision of Solid Waste Services and will not be
used on general governmental services.
f. Notice. The City has provided the required written notice in accordance
with Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
Section 3. With respect to the Rate Adjustments, the City Council has fully
considered this matter and has:
a. Reviewed the submittal, notice and information submitted herewith
regarding the proposed increase, the parcels to which the proposed fee
increase would apply, and the reasons and basis for the increase and the
fees;
b. Provided notice of the proposed fee increase in accordance with Article
XIIID of the California Constitution;
c. Heard and received all written protests of real property subject to the fee;
and
d. Taken and received oral and documentary evidence pertaining to the
proposed fee increase; and
e. Written protests to the proposed Rate Adjustments have not been
presented by a majority of the owners or tenant/rate payers of the identified
parcels in the City.
Section 4. Based upon the forgoing and all the evidence in the record, the City
Council hereby adopts the Rate Adjustments, as provided in Exhibits "A", "B," and "C,"
and such Rate Adjustments shall commence and be effective for services provided as of
March 1, 2022.
Section 5. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its adoption.

9.02.2 Rate Adjustment for Residential Services and Commercial Refuse
Services
Residential Cart rates and Commercial Bin and Cart rates will be adjusted using the same
method, but will be calculated separately due to the differences in the weightings of the
Collection and Disposal components for each Customer type, as listed in Section 9.02.1.
Step One — Calculate the percentage increase or decrease in Collection, Disposal, and
Green Waste Component indices listed in Section 9.02.1. The increase or decrease in the
Collection Component index and Green Waste Component index will be based on the
twelve (12) month period ending February prior to the July 1 when the rate change will
take effect.
The Disposal index will be based on the actual percentage change in the gate rates at
Orange County Landfills as per the then-existing waste disposal agreement with the City
of Cypress for the twelve (12) month period ending June 30 prior to the July 1 when the
rate change will take effect. • • . • • • • . . . • • • . , • • • • • • •

The percentage increase for the Green Waste Component index shall not exceed 5%plus
85% of any increase in CPI above 5% for any Rate Year (see chart in Section 9.02.1).
Step Two — . . • . . . • . . • • . . . • • . • •. , ..! •. . Cost
components are weighted as listed in Section 9.02.1. For subsequent rate adjustments, the
relative weightings of the Collection and Disposal cost components will be determined by
the most recent audit conducted per Section 8.04.1.
94
Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection and Disposal cost components, as
determined in Step One, by that component's weighting as a percentage of total cost.
Step Three — Multiply the weighted permitted percent change from Step Two by the
existing maximum Residential Cart, Commercial Bin and Carts Services rates to determine
the increase or decrease in maximum rates. Then add (subtract) the change in rates to
(from)the existing maximum rates to determine the new maximum rates. See Exhibits 2A
and 2B for examples of rate adjustments procedures.
9.02.3 Rate Adjustment for Roll-Off Box & Other Services
Roll-off box rates and Other Services rate adjustments will be calculated separately for the
Collection(Pull), Disposal, and MRF Service Component, as listed in Section 9.02.1.
Step One — Calculate the percentage increase or decrease in Collection and Disposal
Component indices listed in Section 9.02.1. The increase or decrease in the Collection and
MRF Service Component index will be based on the twelve (12) month period ending
February prior to the July 1 when the rate change will take effect.
The Disposal index will be based on the actual percentage change in the gate rates at
Orange County Landfills as per the then-existing waste disposal agreement with the City
of Cypress for the twelve (12) month period ending June 30 prior to the July 1 when the
rate change will take effect. The percentage increase for the Collection and MRF Service
Component Indices shall not exceed 3.5%plus 85% of anv increase in CPI above 3.5%

Multiply the percentage changes for the Collection, MRF Service and Disposal cost
components, as determined in Step One,by that component's weighting as a percentage of
total cost.
Step Three — Multiply the weighted permitted percent change from Step Two by the
existing maximum roll-off pull rate, roll-off per ton disposal, roll-off per ton C&D
Processing, and other rates. Then add (subtract) the change in rates to (from) the existing
maximum rates to determine the new maximum rates. See Exhibits 2C for examples of
rate adjustments procedures.

Commercial and Multi-Family Premises
The rates for Source-Separated Single-Stream Recycling Collection for Commercial and
Multi-Family Premises shall not exceed 50% 75% of rates for Commercial and Multi-
Family Refuse Collection.
9.02.5 Rate Adjustment for Green Waste Collection for Commercial and
Multi-Family Premises
