SUBJECT: Ordinance Granting Franchises to San Luis Garbage Company for Green
Waste and Residential Curbside Recycling Collection.
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Introduce an ordinance to print granting franchises to San Luis Garbage Company for green
waste and residential curbside recycling collection.
DISCUSSION
At the January 16, 1996 City Council meeting, Council selected San Luis Garbage Company
(SLG), as part of a Request for Proposal process, to provide franchised green waste and
residential curbside recycling collection services within the City. Council's selection was
based on SLG's proposal which demonstrated their ability to provide reliable, cost effective
service which would also meet the City's solid waste goals. San Luis Garbage Company has
provided the City with quality recycling services since 1977.
At the July 23, 1996 City Council meeting, Council adopted a resolution in accordance with
Chapter X of the City Charter declaring the City's intent to grant franchises for these
services. The next step in the process is to adopt an ordinance granting the franchises to San
Luis Garbage Company with the terms and conditions provided in the two agreements. The
term of the franchise agreements are for five years with the option to extend each agreement
up to two additional years. Other key provisions of the agreements are:
■ Type: Exclusive
■ Term: Five years with the option to extend for an additional two years
■ Franchise fee: 6% of gross revenue
■ Service Highlights:
■Green waste containers provided to all residential and commercial customers
■Scholarship Awards
■Public education and information component
■Bulky waste collection and recycling
■Addition of other materials as markets develop
The execution of these agreements is a significant step towards the City reaching the State
requirement to reduce the amount of solid waste going to the landfill by 50% by the year
2000.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no new fiscal impacts associated with this action. On May 21, 1996, the Council
approved the rate increases necessary to pay for contract recycling services and
implementation of the green waste program. Effective July 1, 1996, City customers pay for
these services, and refuse collection and disposal, through a single integrated rate paid to San
Luis Garbage Company.
