On Tuesday, the Turlock City Council will consider beginning the notification process for a possible rate increase for solid waste customers in the city.

Turlock Scavenger is requesting a rate increase of around 9 percent for residential customers to address the company’s increased costs.

The public rate hearing was originally scheduled for July 28, after Council requested staff beginning the property owner notification, but staff requested the hearing be postponed to allow for more time to review Turlock Scavenger’s financial records.

If approved by Council on Tuesday, staff would begin the notification process, required under Proposition 218, of the consideration of a rate structure increase and establish the public rate hearing for Oct. 13.

The more than 9 percent rate increase for residential customers would amount to $2.30 (9.16 percent) for customers with 32 gallon grey, 68 gallon blue, and 95 gallon green bins; $3.10 (9.37 percent) for customers with 64 gallon grey, 68 gallon blue, and 95 gallon green bins; and $3.60 (9.45 percent) for customers with 96 gallon grey, 68 gallon blue, and 95 gallon green bins.

Currently, solid waste users pay $25.10, $33.10, and $38.10, respectively, depending on the service. This would be a one-time increase for residential customers and would be set for the next five years.

If ultimately approved, the rate increase would be the first solid waste increase in Turlock since 2003.

On Tuesday, Turlock City Council will also:

  • Consider accepting a $69,000 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) through the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to pay for police DUI patrols and checkpoints.
  • Consider approving an agreement between the City of Turlock and Turlock Unified School District for police services at Turlock and Pitman high schools.
  • Consider approving the design and construction of the Broadway City Hall parking lot and directing staff to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP).
  • Consider cancelling the Turlock City Council meeting scheduled for Aug. 25.

Turlock City Council will meet at 6 p.m. in the Yosemite Room of City Hall, 156 S. Broadway.

Each of these materials has distinctive properties that set them apart. Since polyester is incredibly light and comfortable to wear, we advise you to utilize it. Athletic clothing frequently uses polyester as a fabric. Shirts for activewear, sweatpants and jogging jackets usually contain polyester blends.

  • PaulWatkins on How does a real estate agency work? "Hi Dans Andrew, I'm glad you have made the right decision because a real estate agency is a promising career. Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."

  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
