City Council - 5 - October 29, 1998 City, not Oro Loma. Mike was very clear that he would have to perform due diligence to insure that contracting with the City would be cost-effective for his current customer base. With regard to East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) sewer service, analyses were performed in 1992 and then updated again in 1995. Both studies indicated that this option was not cost-effective then. A copy of the relevant section of the 1992 HDR Engineering Inc. report and the 1995 staff reports on this subject are provided as Attachments 5 and 6. 2. The City will explore privatization alternatives for the wastewater facility and the collection system if the Oro Loma or East Bay Municipal Utility District service options are not feasible. While at the League of California Cities Annual Conference, marketing materials from several firms who provide wastewater services were obtained. No other action has been taken with regard to this recommendation. Water Pollution Control Fund Policy Consideration It is recommended that the City complete the Refuse Enterprise Fund strategy and then pursue further analyses associated with service delivery options for the Water Pollution Control Plant and sewer collection system. There will definitely be meet -and -confer issues associated with service delivery changes for sewer services and as such these will have to be discussed in closed session at the appropriate time. Storm Water Enterprise Fund It is staffs understanding that the City Council's policy direction regarding the Storm Water Enterprise Fund is the City reduce storm water related charges in addition to reducing residential street sweeping services from twice per month to once per month. Short-term actions 1. Street sweeping in residential areas of San Leandro will be reduced to only once per month, effective October 1998. Residents and neighborhood associations will be notified of the revised schedule so vehicles can be moved on sweeping days. The residential street sweeping schedule has been modified to once per month. Staff is currently evaluating whether the monthly street sweeping routes can be modified so that, within the City's refuse collection service area, residential street sweeping can occur on the same day as the City provided residential refuse collection. This street sweeping option is not possible in Oro Loma's refuse collection service area because the automated refuse collection trucks cover too great an area for the City's existing street sweepers to cover on the same day.
