CAO RECOMMENDATION
Introduce an ordinance to print granting exclusive franchises to San Luis Garbage Company for
green waste and residential curbside recycling services.
DISCUSSION
At the June 19, 2001 City Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution in accordance with
Chapter X of the City Charter declaring the City's intent to grant San Luis Garbage Company
(SLG) exclusive franchise agreements for green waste and residential curbside recycling
collection. The next step in the process is to adopt an ordinance (Attachment 1) granting the
franchises to SLG with the terms and conditions provided in the two agreements.. The term of
the agreements are to coincide with the term of the refuse collection franchise which is until
March 2012. Other key provisions of the agreements are:
■ Type: Exclusive
■ Term: March 2012
■ Franchise fee: 6% of gross revenue
■ Service Highlights:
■Green waste containers provided to all residential and commercial customers
■Commingled recycling for all customers
■Public education and information component
■Bulky waste collection and recycling
■Addition of other materials as markets develop
The execution of these agreements will ensure current and future services remain consistent with
today's standards and assist in controlling future rate increases.
CONCURRENCES
San Luis Garbage Company and the SLO County Integrated Waste Management Authority
concur with the recommendation made in this report.
