RE: Resolution: Waste Fee Multi Family Properties
Request: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO BILL MULTI FAMILY
PROPERTIES RECENTLY CHANGED FROM RESIDENTIAL TO
COMMERCIAL STATUS MONTHLY UNTIL OCTOBER 2010.
Description: The City recently contracted with Choice Environmental for residential garbage
collection. This contract includes automated garbage collection and all residential
customers were provided with green garbage bins. For ease of collection and consistency
of garbage containment, the City will supply containers to residential properties up to
four (4) units. These properties were previously considered commercial and utilized
containers. However, Waste Management (the commercial waste hauler) has already
picked up the containers from those properties. The City will now be responsible for
billing these properties for garbage collection.
Financial Impact: The current year fee is$472.00 or$39.34 per month per unit.
Implementation Timeline: Beginning April 1, 2010
Legislative History: None
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Analysis: The City of Opa-locka currently assesses single family homeowners the waste assessment
on the annual tax bill. Multi family properties were considered commercial and
contracted with Waste Management Inc to obtain a dumpster and schedule pick ups.
Since two-, three-, and four-unit properties will now be considered residential, it is the
City's responsibility to bill these customers. It is too late in the year to bill these
properties on the current year tax bill. This fee will be on the tax bill beginning in
October 2010. Until that time, the City will have to bill these customers directly. We
will bill these properties directly for six months from April 1, 2010 thru September 30,
2010.
The cost will be $39.34 per unit per month for twice weekly garbage collection. As you
can see in the tables below, in some cases the customer will be seeing a savings.
Hand Load Service:

2 Units $57.82 $78.68 $20.86
3 Units 86.73 118.02 31.29
