Council approves contract CPI increase for waste service; small rate changes take effect Sept. 1
Summary
Under a contract clause tied to the Consumer Price Index, the council accepted a 2.61% annual CPI adjustment for Waste Connections service; staff said the change yields modest monthly and dumpster fee increases and takes effect Sept. 1.
City staff presented a required CPI-based rate adjustment under the Waste Connections contract. Staff said the Consumer Price Index rose 2.61%, which translates to modest increases such as a $17.29 monthly bill moving to $17.74 for a representative service and a 3-cubic-yard dumpster from $77.32 to $79.34 per billing cycle.
Staff emphasized the contract obligates the city to accept the CPI adjustment and indicated the contract term still has roughly 15 years remaining (the contract began around 2019–2020). Council voted to accept the CPI rate adjustment, noting the change is automatic under the existing contract and that the increase takes effect Sept. 1.
