Crowe Horvath. <br /> Mr. Steven Bocian Page 17 <br /> December 23, 2013 <br /> 6.Comparative Rate Survey <br /> Crowe compared PGS rates to the rates charged by similar nearby jurisdictions. The analysis <br /> reveals that Pleasanton ratepayers pay, in general, above market rates (see Attachment A). <br /> In the residential sector, City ratepayers subscribing to a 32-gallon cart pay a 10.70 percent <br /> higher rate than the regional average. However, ratepayers subscribing to a 96-gallon cart pay a <br /> rate significantly lower than the regional average, by a margin of 47.75 percent. In the <br /> commercial sector, City ratepayers pay rates between 14 and 20 percent higher than the <br /> regional average. In the industrial (debris box) sector, City ratepayers pay rates roughly equal <br /> to the regional average. <br /> We appreciate the contribution of City management and your input and direction on this rate <br /> setting project.We also thank PGS management for its timely responses to our data requests.
