Dear Mrs. Serra:
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. It is time for the annual rate adjustment based on
the (Consumer Price Index) CPI. This year’s rate adjustment will also incorporate a Tip Fee increase.
Please consider this letter as a notification of the proposed rate adjustments scheduled for January 1,
2025.
The contract specifies an Annual Rate Adjustment tied to the CPI, based on 80% of the West Urban CPI,
size class B/C. We are once again utilizing June data. The 12-month percentage change is 2.59%; the
adjustment factor is 2.07% (2.59% x .80 =2.07%) to be applied to the service component of all rates
defined in the contract.
The second portion of the year’s rate adjustment comes from increased disposal expenses; Disposal
Fees for Solid Waste (MSW) have increased. MSW has increased from $57.46 per ton to $59.53 per ton,
a 3.6% increase. The weighted average rate change due to the CPI and Tip fee increase is 2.56%.
I am enclosing a copy of Exhibit C proposed rates along with a copy of the CPI sheet.
We are most willing to meet with you for conversation on the topic of the rate adjustment and any
other solid waste issues. Thank you for your attention in this matter, and please feel free to contact me
at 509-544-7709, should you have any questions.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you and the City Council of Pasco for allowing us to
serve the Pasco City Residents.
Sincerely,
