APPROVE RESOLUTION 2019-020, AMENDING
CITY CODE SECTION 1020.13 FOR REFUSE FEES
Staff recommends the following motion: Approve Resolution 2019-020, amendin� cit�
section 1020.13 for refuse fees.
Overview
Staff recommends that City Code Section 1020.13 be amended to:
1)
2)
3)
No longer specify exact tax rates applied to refuse charges. Hennepin County is raising
their t� rate to 15.5% effective April 1, 2019, and in lieu of ma.king that specific rate
change to the code, it would be more sustainable to denote that applicable County, State
and Waste Management fees apply to said charges.
Denote that taxes apply to all refuse related charges. While these fees have always
applied to all refuse charges, the code section did not fully reflect that.
Itemize the charges applied to mattress, box spring and hide-a-bed bulk item pickups.
Air Conditioners and appliances do not need to be itemized, as they seem to be random
examples of large items and do not carry a different charge than that already quoted
above in line 2. However, Hennepin County charges the City of Hopkins $50.00 each for
mattresses, box springs and hide-a-beds, and thus warrant itemizing.
