Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - March 4, 1996 Page - 8 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Redevelopment Agency to provide assistance with Economic Development activities. He said the JPA will put in place the mechanism to actually form the Economic Development Agency. The new Agency will meet on March 18, 1996, to adopt its bylaws and administrative procedures. The following Resolution was then introduced: Resolution No. 96 -31, Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Leandro Approving the Economic Development Agency Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Between the City of San Leandro and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Leandro (approves a Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency to form an Economic Development Agency for the purpose of carrying out economic development programs through a single entity in order to eliminate duplication of effort, inefficiencies in administration, and excessive cost by acting separately). (2807) Introduced by Council Member Kerr, who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Loeffler, and carried by a majority vote (7). B. Resolution Approving Contractual Services Agreement with Barakat & Chamberlin, Inc. (provides for professional services for review and evaluation of refuse and recycling proposals). Bob Taylor, Public Works Services Director, said staff was directed to prepare a proposal for City - provided, single - family, home refuse service, with rear -yard pickup and curbside options, and to prepare a proposal for the City's enterprise operation to provide recycling services with and without green waste carts. He said the existing recycling provider, San Leandro Disposal, has also prepared a proposal for recycling, both for the current service and for the Supercycle Program. The contract with Barakat and Chamberlin provides for analysis of the proposals. Council Member Perry said the value of the Barakat and Chamberlin proposal was to develop evaluation criteria for approval by Council. She said Task 5, green -waste disposal, was confusing and compares apples to oranges. She said the proposal is unclear, and she does not understand where the process is heading. Mr. Taylor said the intent was to make sure everyone is on a level playing field. He said benchmarking with other jurisdictions will ensure adjustments are made for service that is not the same. Mayor Corbett said evaluation criteria would be developed with staff and discussed with the City Council.
