From: Carrie Mattingly, Utilities Director ITEM NO.:_I_LP1
Subject: Public Hearing PHI 6- Solid Waste Rate Application and New Organics Program
At its August 18, 2015 regular meeting, the City Council will consider a new organic diversion
program, a request for solid rate increase, and the granting of a twenty-year food and green waste
franchise agreement with San Luis Garbage Company. Staff has just received a request from San
Luis Garbage Company to postpone the granting of the franchise agreement (recommendation
number 3 in the report) to a future meeting so that changes to the term of the franchise agreement
can be made to better coincide with the construction and operation of the proposed composting
facility and the twenty-year guarantee flow of material.
In order to make the requested changes, re -noticing of the intent to grant a franchise agreement
and modifications to the ordinance are needed. At the beginning of the Tuesday's public hearing,
staff will request that recommendation number 3 be withdrawn from consideration by the
Council. The Council will be asked to consider the other two recommendations made in the
report - conceptual approval of the new organics diversion program and adoption of the
requested solid waste rate increase.
If you have any question, please contact Ron Munds, the Utilities Services Manager.
