PRESENTATIONS 1 King County Rate Restructure and Tony Donati 30 MIN. Landfill Update King County Staff Tony Donati, Conservation Coordinator provided introductions for presentations from the King County Solid Waste Division regarding King County's rate restructure program. John Walsh, King County Solid Waste Division Strategy and Performance Section Manager, advised the mission is "Reducing single use, Reusing everything that can be, Recycle what's left, Renewing communities, Rethinking what's possible." The Vision is "Healthy, safe, and thriving communities in a waste-free King County." Re+ is a call to action that is included in the Strategic Climate Action Plan, King County Code, King County Equity and Social Justice strategic Plan, the K4C Commitment, and the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. Walsh provided statistics of residents support of the Re+ program, talked about where King County is leading and where King County is lagging and provided details of what zero waste of resources would look like. Walsh reviewed Fast Start Actions and talked about the estimated impacts from Fast Start Actions. City Council Workshop Workshop Regular August 16, 2022 Meeting Kent, Washington Minutes ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._............................................................................................................................................................................................................... Brian Halverson, King County Solid Waste Division Strategy Unit Manager talked about why a rate restructure is needed, including: • Under our current rate structure, as we reduce waste and divert more resources via recycling, revenue will also be reduced making it difficult to fund core services. • 90% of SWD revenues come from waste disposal • Re+ goal is to reduce disposal tons by 70% • The majority of SWD costs are largely fixed • A fixed revenue stream will reduce volatility in rate increases caused by lower tonnage associated with increased recycling or economic downturns. If disposal tons dropped from 890K to 500K tons by 2026, the tipping fee would need to nearly double to generate the same amount of revenue. The adopted restructure would: • Add a "Fixed Annual Charge" to collect a fixed amount of revenue from commercial-hauled tons • Target revenue amount for the Fixed Annual Charge is based on commercial haulers' share of non-disposal costs (e.g. Re+, regulatory compliance, etc.) • The share of this amount owed by each city/hauler is determined by the share of waste they sent to the landfill • Reduce tipping fee to make restructure revenue neutral Halverson provided examples of the status quo rates (tipping fee only) vs. the restructure (tipping fee & fixed annual charge). Cities are impacted: • City/Hauler Contract Updates - Contracts will need to be updated to incorporate the Fixed Annual Charge as it is not currently part of the formula for charging customers • Billing Systems - Cities that do waste billing (instead of hauler) may need to update their billing system • Communications - The new structure and related contract changes may require educational materials be sent out to waste customers 2 Water System Update Sean Bauer 30 MIN. Sean Bauer, Water System Manager, provided the Water System Update Baur reviewed water resources, including the Howard Hanson Dam additional Water Storage Project: • Fish Passage timeline still on track ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

As part of efforts to address climate change, the government of Ping County has set a goal to cut the amount of recyclable or reusable materials that are being seat to the landfill by 2030 by 70 . To help achieve that goal, the County has developed a waste reduction program known as "RE+," to invest in a variety of programs, technologies, and facilities to ochleve this goal.
