ITEM IL

RBID'S DEPARTMENT STORE LTD./Letter dated July 21, 1993
COMPOSTING PROGRAM

The Project Engineer reviewed the over all pricing makeup for the Composter Sale Program
(memo of July 26/93). Staff confirmed that a base markup of $ 5.00 per ccmposter was agreed to
with the distributors. This was arranged as part of the 1992 program. Due to an increase in the
Provincial Sales Tsx from 6% to 7% there is a difference of $ 0.19 per unit. Following review it
was concluded that this difference be reimbursed to the distributors.
Further discussion was held on the program which the City has now participated in for two
years. Under the cost sharing agreement 1/3 of the total cost is borne by the City, with the
Provincial Mnisuy of Environment contributing 1/3 and the purchaser covering the balance.
It is anticipated the City will be contributing approximately $ 27,000 to the 1993 program. It was
felt that some of this money maybe better spent on promoting composting through advertising
rather than subsidizing such a program., Accordingly consideration should be given to
discontinuing the Program in 1994 and possibly continuing with an alternative program where
there is no contribution Lom the City. It is understood that the Municipality of Delta is canying
out such a program. This should be investigated as an alternative program for 1994.
