CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: July 20, 2009 TO: Stephen Hollister, City Manager FROM: Michael Bakaldin, Public Works Director MB BY: Jennifer Nassab, Administrative Analysf ~~w SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Stephen L. Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO AND THE SAN LEANDRO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR THE COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLES, AND GREEN WASTE AT SCHOOL FACILITIES IN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY INDUSTRIES SERVICE AREA. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement between the City of San Leandro and the San Leandro Unified School District. The agreement would provide for the collection of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Green Waste at school facilities in the Alameda County Industries (ACI) service area at no charge. In addition, the District agrees to implement comprehensive waste reduction and recycling programs at school sites. BACKGROUND The City of San Leandro entered into a Franchise Agreement with ACI on February 1, 2000 for a period of ten (10) years with an option to extend the term an additional ten (10) years. As part of the extension process, ACI requested a ten percent (10%) rate increase effective July 1, 2009, which was approved by the City Council with the provision that the City and ACI would negotiate amendments to the Agreement for the purposes of streamlining the rate review process and for providing additional collection services to rate payers. During the process, the San Leandro Unified School District approached the City to explore free or discounted solid waste, recyclables, and green waste collection services to be provided by ACI to school facilities. Staff was able to negotiate such service to school facilities within the ACI service area by extending the next term of the Agreement by up to five additional years (to 2025). The extension allows ACI to replace the fleet of collection vehicles, provide additional services and revenues to the City and to ACI customers, and integrate free service to the District within the existing rate schedule.
