EXPLANATION: The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County requests the Truth-in-Millage (TRIM) rates for Solid Waste Collection and Recycling in early June to facilitate their processing.
Resolution No. R2020-20 specifies the preliminary FY 2021 collection and recycling rates to be included on the annual TRIM notice for all properties served by Wellington Solid Waste. The final assessment rates will be adopted following the required public hearing in August. The Council may adopt final rates at or below the preliminary TRIM rates.
The TRIM collection and recycling rates fund the FY 2020-2021 preliminary Solid Waste budget in attached Exhibit A. The preliminary budget totals $4.4 million, up $60,000 or 1.4% in total from the FY 2019-2020 adopted Solid Waste budget. Wellington Solid Waste currently services approximately 21,038 curbside accounts (up 21 from last year) and 2,400 containerized accounts.
The FY 2020-2021 Solid Waste contract renewal increase will be determined through contract negotiations in progress. If the rate change continues to be based on the South Florida Consumer Price Index issued for July 1, the estimated contract increase is 2%. The final Solid Waste budget will be presented for adoption in August.
