City Council 2 10/29/98 3. The City will purchase "Rubbermaid" type wheeled garbage containers and make them available to customers at cost to address possible complaints about curbside refuse collection. 4. An "Application for On -Premise Refuse Collection" will be available for those customers who are unable to place their refuse cans on the curb. Those customers who have requested side yard or backyard service from San Leandro Recycling will automatically obtain side yard or backyard service from the City. 5. The City's residential refuse customers will be notified about the change in the annual debris program in the spring of 1999. The change to the debris program is to no longer designate a specific day(s) for the annual debris collection in an area, but to allow any 20- or 32-gallon can customer to call and request a debris collection day. 6. Customers who have front loader boxes will be notified that they will be required to push their container(s) to an accessible location for collection effective early January 1999 as a cost savings measure for the Refuse Enterprise Fund. Commercial account customers will be notified via mail about this change in service delivery. 7. The service delivery change in how front loader boxes are collected will result in the reduction of one full-time staff position. This is a mandatory bargaining issue and will be discussed with the City Council in closed session at a future date. 8. The City's repair service for privately owned front loader and drop boxes will be eliminated effective early January 1999. When a privately owned container becomes irreparable, it will be replaced by a container provided by the City and the appropriate demurrage charge will be added to the customer's monthly fee. Commercial account customers will be notified of this change via mail. 9. Saturday and Sunday commercial refuse collection services will be advertised and expanded as a revenue enhancement to the Refuse Enterprise Fund. 10. A Citizen's Committee will be convened to review the Refuse Enterprise Fund. Refuse Enterprise Fund Policy Considerations 1. The City will develop Request for Quotations (RFQ) / Request for Proposals (RFP) and begin the process to evaluate refuse service delivery options. If, upon completion of the RFP evaluations, it is deemed to be in the City's best interest to change service delivery levels, the goal would be to complete contract negotiations by July 1999. 2. The City will retain the services of a refuse consultant to provide expertise and advise on the business implications of various options.
