A~reement Between the City of San Leandro and the Oro Loma Sanitary District for Refuse. Green Waste and Recyclina Services in the L3 Area This Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 21st day of March, 2006 by and between the City of San Leandro ( "City") and the Oro Loma Sanitary District ("District"). RECITALS Whereas, the City and the District have entered into a "Term Sheet Agreement", as approved by the City on March 6, 2006 and approved by the District on March 7,2006, regarding refuse and recycling services within the City presently provided by the District through its franchise agreement with Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC). The District has designated the portion of the City that receives residential, commercial and industrial refuse and recycling services by WMAC as the IL_3" area. Whereas, the terms and conditions of the Term Sheet Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement and are set forth herein. . Whereas, State law requires the City to be responsible for establishing and monitoring recycling programs to achieve defined goals for reducing the amount of refuse material that is placed in landfills. The City has authorized the District to provide a recycling program in the L3 area until September 1, 2007; WMAC presently provides this service for residents and businesses as part of its refuse franchise agreement with the District. The District's exclusive franchise agreement with WMAC for refuse service expires September 1, 2012. Whereas, in August 1993, the City passed Ordinance No. 93-014 that included the overlap area commonly known as the L3 area in the City's refuse service area. Whereas, in July 2004, the City notified the District of its intention to assume responsibility for both refuse and recycling services in the L3 area commencing September 1,2007. There are several reasons for the City's interest in working with the District to transfer refuse and recycling services for this area to the City including the desire for uniform recycling and clean-up programs throughout the City, and to provide a financial mechanism for residents and businesses to contribute to the cost of impacted municipal services. Presently, the City does .not receive a refuse and recycling franchise fee from the L3 area to pay for municipal services in this area including street maintenance and repair, operation of the branch library, parks, fire stations, community center, and refuse pickup from trash containers on arterial streets and at City facilities. 810887-1 1
