Dear City Clerk:
I�
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste
Agency's FY15 budget and fee schedule, which were approved by the Agency's Board of
Directors on February 18, 2015. The FY16 fees will go into effect on July 1, 2015. Copies of r
the FY16 budget and fee schedule are attached. The Agency's posted landfill fee and contract r
landfill fee will increase by$6.58 and $0.95 respectively per ton in the coming year.
This increase comes on the heels of the Agency needing to borrow $4.5 million in the form of a
general obligation bond backed by the Dubuque County Board of Supervisors to fund the Cell 9
Phase II landfill expansion project. This rate increase is intended to help reduce the need to
borrow another$3.5 million for the next cell development.
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency is a 28E partnership of the County and
City of Dubuque. The Agency owns and operates essential public utility infrastructure, including
our area's only municipal solid waste landfill, publicly-owned yard debris and food scraps
composting facility, and regional household hazardous materials collection facility. In addition,
the Agency sponsors an electronic scrap recycling program, eleven recyclables drop-off h
stations, and partners with the local privately-owned and operated materials recovery facility.
I
The Agency receives no tax or per capita fee subsidies, relying solely on the fees charged at its
facilities to operate as the not-for-profit, solid waste management utility for Dubuque and
Delaware counties. It truly appreciates your past and future support.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Specht
Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency
Board Secretary
