Notice is hereby given that on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, at 7:30 p.m., the Board of Directors of the Ironhouse Sanitary District, at its regular meeting at the District's office (the address below), will hold a public hearing on a proposed increase in the residential solid waste (refuse) collection rate charged by Oakley Disposal Service, Inc. (ODS), as follows.

ONE CAN SERVICE $28.11 PER MONTH (CAN = 40 GAL.)
TWO CAN SERVICE $38.00 PER MONTH
MINI CAN $23.11 PER MONTH
EACH ADDITIONAL CAN $ 9.88 PER MONTH
90-GALLON TOTER $28.11 PER MONTH
RENTAL OF TOTER $ 3.00 PER MONTH (Additional)

The increase is required to fund increased costs of ODS and state-required solid waste reduction and diversion programs, among other purposes. This includes a 1.66 percent increase for extraordinary fuel costs. Data indicating the estimated cost required to provide the service for which the rate increase may be levied and the anticipated revenue sources will be available to the public at the District's office at least ten days prior to the meeting. At the public hearing, oral or written presentations can be made. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board may adopt, reject, reduce or otherwise modify the proposed rate increase.
