This letter is to advise you that pursuant to Article 3, Subsection D, of your municipality's
Interlocal Agreement for waste disposal with Miami -Dade County, the Disposal Fee and
Transfer Fee for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009 will decrease, subject to
approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The decrease in the fees is based on
the actual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers for the South Region
United States, from July 2008 through June 2009.
As the Interlocal Agreement delineates, "the amount of CPI increase or decrease above
or below the five percent (5%) cap shall be applied to CPI increases or decreases in
future years when the CPI increase or decrease is less than five percent (5%)". The full
capped amount of 5% was applied, even though the actual CPI for last year was 5.3%
(allowing for the additional 0.3% to be added to the current year). This year's CPI is a
negative 1.4%; therefore, a decrease of 1.1% will be applied, pursuant to approval by
the Board of County Commissioners.
Therefore, the proposed changes are as follows:
Disposal Fee: From: $60.43 per ton To: $59.77 per ton
Transfer Fee: From: $11.90 per ton To: $11.77 per ton
Should you require additional information, please contact Ms. Aneisha Daniel, Assistant
Director, Administration at (305) 514-6630.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Woods -Richardson
Director
