Mr. Edgar stated the rate increase was necessitated by increased labor costs incurred by Pleasanton Garbage Service, effective April 1, 1974, and to comply with agreement to provide a dump site within a three mile radius of the City limits. Mr. Miller presented the staff report regarding this matter, recommending a 22.5% increase in garbage collection fees for residential and commercial; and in- crease in the franchise fee to the City; and that an annual audit be provided the City verifying the financial status of the Pleasanton Garbage Service. Mro Joe Schwab, Attorney representing Pleasanton Garbage Service, stated that the ultimate decision regarding the transfer station would come from the County, however, he urged City Council endorsement of this application.
