The City will enter into discussions with San Leandro Recycling, Inc., the private <br />contractor providing residential recycling, for the purpose of re -negotiating its agreement <br />- with the City. San Leandro Recycling recently advised the City of a residential rate <br />increase from $5.18 to $5.36 per month based on the contract's cost -of -living index <br />provision. The current agreement continues through 2006. <br />3. Curbside residential garbage service is proposed to replace the current rear yard service. <br />This change in program delivery level will be implemented using the existing refuse <br />equipment and collection will not be immediately automated. Initial increases in <br />productivity will lower projected annual operating costs by $204,000. In addition to labor <br />cost savings, curb service will lower equipment -related expenses. <br />4. The annual free, unlimited debris pickup program will be eliminated in 1998-99. In place <br />of this service, residents will be provided debris pickup once a year on a call -in basis as a <br />supplement to their weekly garbage service. The change from a program performed by <br />personnel on an overtime basis will lower costs by $50,000. <br />5. The City will explore the opportunity of having the Oro Loma Sanitary District provide <br />refuse service to the entire San Leandro service area. <br />6. The City will explore refuse privatization alternatives if the Oro Loma service option is <br />not to be feasible. <br />Sewer Service Fund. Recommendation: Increase fees approximately 9%. <br />1. Sewer service rates are recommended at the level previously proposed to the City <br />Council. The City Council has adopted the sewer replacement and reserve program based <br />on the wastewater replacement financing study. This study was first completed in 1985 <br />and has been updated every two years. The current levels of service, including the <br />necessary capital facility and sewer collection system upgrades, can be maintained only <br />with the proposed rates. <br />3 <br />
