CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER "THE REQUEST OF PLEASANT HILL
BAY SHORE DISPOSAL FOR A RESETTING OF ITS COLLECTION RATES BASED ON
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DISPOSAL FEE EFFECTiVE AUGUST f, 1989
In the necessary absence of the General Manager-Chief Eng1 neer,Mr.
Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that this request comes
immedi ately upon the heels of the years' normal rate setti ng and is due.
to an $8 per ton increase in disposal fees being charged at the GBF
Landfill (Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill). Mr. Morsen i ntroduced Mr.
Walter Funasaki, Finance Officer, who presented background on this
matter. The new refuse coll ecti on rates set effeçti ve July 1, 1989 at
the July 20,1989 Board meeting resulted in a 4.10 percent increase being
approved by the Board.of Directors. The Board set the refuse collection
rates based on reimbursement of disposal expenses at cost, and the use of
a 93' percent operati ng ratio. Because of the si gni ficant uncertai nty
regardi ng future di sposal fees, . particularly upon the shutdown of the
Acme landfill, the Board set the collection rates effective July 1, 1989,
with the understandi ng that refuse coll ecti on rates may be reconsi dered
if disposal fees changed significantly during the July 1, 1989 through
June 30, 1990 period. In a letter dated July 27, 1989, Mr. Ken Little,
representing Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal, requested a
reconsideration of the July 1, 1989 collection rates. . The request is
based on the implementation by, the GBF Landfill of a 26.67 percent
i ncrease i n its disposal fee from $30 per ton to $38 per ton effecti ve
August 1, 1989. Notification by the GBF Landfill to the refuse collector
is dated July 19, 1989, one day prior to the July 20, 1989 Board meeting
at which the July 1,1989 collection rates were set; however, the refuse
collector. professes not to have any knowledge. of the di sposal fee
increase until after the July 20,1989 Board meeting.
At 3:10 p.m., President Rainey opened the public hearing to consider
the request of Pl easant Hill Bay Shore Oi sposal for a resetti ng of its
collection rates based on a significant increase in disposal fee'
effective August 1,1989.
Mr. Ken Little, representing Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal,
addressed the Board. He i ndi cated that the 1 etter from Contra Costa
Landfill to Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal was not received before the
July 20, 1989 Board meeti ng. He stated that from the July 20, 1989 Board
meeting it was clear that the Board's intention was to review rates, if
necessary, to recover disposal expense increases. Mr. little recommended
that the Board toll ow the staff's analyses and grant the 6.51 percent
increase as of August 1,1989.

President Rainey asked Mr. Little if he is expecting further
increases i n fees from the Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill and how he
would expect these to be handled. Mr. Little answered that if there were
further increases i n fees he fel t the Board shoul d entertai n them. He
would rather have a few small rate increases than wait and have a large
one. He hopes this is the last one.
Mrs. Olive M. Bernard, 276 Minoru Drive, Pacheco, a resident of the
Concord Cascade Mobil e Home Park, addressed the Board. She stated that
her garbage service is included in her rent payment to the mobile home
park and her rent keeps going up. This increase,. if granted, will cause
her rent to go up further si nce it will be passed th rough to her. The
mobile home park residents are mostly single people with only a small bag
of garbage. She feels there should be a smaller fee for this service.
President Rainey closed the public hearing at 3:20 p.m.
Member Clausen stated that he made the initial motion at the July
20, 1989 meeting and he di d not say "allow i ng mid-year reconsideration of
di sposal fees." He stated that the motion shaul d have the word
"mid-year" struck so that it would read "allowing reconsideration of
disposal fees on a dollar per dollar basis should they increase or
decrease".
President Rainey expressed her concern that a precedent not be set
in resetting rates every month.
Following discussion it was moved by Member ~ausen and seconded by
Member Dalton that Resolution No. 89-139 .be adopted establ ishing . new
refuse collection rates for Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal authorizing
a 6.51 percent across-the-board. increase based on a significant increase
in disposal fee effective August 1, 1989. Motion approved on the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Members: Cl ausen, Dalton, Boney steel e, Rainey

,AB SENT: Members: Carlson
Member Cl ausen requested a 1 etter from the Board urging the Contra
Costa County Board of Supervisors to bri ng about regul ati on of di sposar
rates in the interest. of the public that we ask to pay these rates, as we
have had to deal with these rate i ncrease requests i n the last seven
months due to disposal fee increases at unregulated landfills.
President Rainey thanked Mrs. Bernard for her comments.

SOLID WASTE
1.
RECEIVE A PROPOSAL BY V ALLEY WASTE MANPGEMENT FOR THE IMP.LEMENTATION
OF AN AUTOMATED CURBSIDE COLLECTION PROGRAM' , .
Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manger, presented background
information on this issue. Last spring an automated curbside collection
pl1 ot proj ect was. undertaken. The Board asked Vall eyWaste Management to
submit plans for an automated curbside collection program based upon what
was 1 earned from. the pl1 ot program. Thi s proposal goes further to
implement a system which is on the cutting edge of garbage disposal
technology. This proposal ,would keep a significant portion of waste
collected by Valley Waste Management from having to go through a transfer
sta ti on.
Mr. Morsen introduced Mr. Jerome Kruszka, representing Valley Waste
Management, who showed a video demonstrati ng the automated curbsi de
collection system known as the Waste Management System (WMS) which he
stated is a revol uti onary new concept combi ni ng the proven effici enci es
of the si ngl e rear axl e with the improved bal ance and performance of a
mid-engine chassis capable of quickly exchanging loaded compactor bodies
for empties in the heart of the service area. Under this system,
collection vehicles and drivers need never leave the. assigned service
area or route, and the need for costly transfer stations woul d be
mi nimized.
With the WMS, filled containers are picked up and loaded onto
hitched trailers by a single rear axle transfer truck for efficient
transport to outlying landfills. Each transfer truck/trailer combination
carries three 21-cubic yard exchangeable bodies. WMS is more than a new
concept collection vehicle; it is an entire system designed to increase
route time, reduce. labor costs, and produce increased efficiency.
Currently, Waste Management is operating this system in the Chicago area.
Valley Waste Management is attempting to obtain some vehicles for this
,'0:8

area; perhaps i n 60 to 70 days. It i s estimated that five coll ecti on
vehicles and two transfer vehicles are needed to initiate a pilot
program.
Based upon Mr. Kruszka's observations, two problems exist, the
customers' garbage collection 'cans need to be close to where they should
be in order for thè collection vehicle to be able to pick them up. Also,
autos parked on the street can be a problem.
One stagi ngarea per city woul d be . necessary.. Each packer truck
holds 20-21 yards. A light will come on in the cab when the loaded
wet ght reaches 7 tons. They woul d then return to the stagi ng area where
they woul d transfer the full contai ner di rectly to a transfer vehicl e
trailer which holds three pods with a total .weight of 80,000 lbs. Empty
containers are stored standing on end at the staging area. The empty
pod is loaded on the packer truck and the route is continued. The pods
would be cleaned at the landfill when necessary.
Mr. Paul Morsen reviewed the three alternative collection methods
proposed for the District's consideration.
1)
2)
3)
All Refuse In.One Container
Separated Refuse and Yard Waste Picked Up In Same Truck
Separated Refuse and Yard Waste Picked Up In Separate Trucks
. Discussion followed regarding recycling, composting, and landfill
closure . costs. Further discussion took place regarding implementing a
pilot program in the next few months. From the pilot program, the amount
of public acceptance could be reviewed.
President Rainey asked Mr. Kruszka if Valley Waste Management is
got ng to loan us the trucks for the pil ot program. Mr. Kruszka repli ed
that Valley Waste Management will purchase the trucks and if the program
does not work out they would be responsible for selling the trucks
themselves to recover their investment.
Mr. James L. Hazard, Counsel for the District, inquired if this
poses a probl em with the unions. Mr. Kruszka .replied that there is not a
problem with the union because there will be other jobs such as recycling
that can be filled by the present garbage collector. Also, there will be
attrition through retirements.
It was the consensus of the Board to move ahead with the automated
curbside collection program,. keeping the yard waste separate. The Board
is eager to have a pilot program initiated. Staff will keep the Board
updated on activities regarding this program.
