President Hockett called the meeting to order and requested that the Secretary call roll. 1. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Members: Menesini, Dalton, Rainey, Boneysteele, Hockett ABSENT: Members: None 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS None CALL FOR REQUESTS TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUT OF ORDER Mr. Roger J. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, requested the Emergency Situations Requiring Board Action be taken out of order. The Board concurred. 4. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, updated the Board relative to Contra Costa County joining the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA). The County Board of Supervisors agreed to the District's position as set forth in its letter dated January 6, 1995, with one additional condition. The northern unincorporated area currently franchised by the District would be franchised by the County separate from the CCCSWA and its competitive bidding process. The southern unincorporated area would remain in the CCCSWA and Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The County has requested written concurrence from the District. Since this is at variance with previous Board positions and since the issue arose after the 72-hour deadline for posting the agenda, Mr. Dolan asked if the Board wished to discuss this issue and make a decision on it today, or defer consideration until the February 2, 1995 Board Meeting when the matter can be calendared on the agenda. Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that the Board must determine whether the issue came up after the posting of the agenda, and whether the matter needs to be dealt with on an emergency basis. If so, by four-fifths vote of the Board, the matter can be added to this agenda. Discussion followed with regard to the urgency of the matter and the desire of Board and staff to advise the citizens and the affected franchisees of potential action by the Board in this regard. Based on the information presented by staff and the advice of District Counsel, the Board of Directors took no action but requested that this matter be calendared for discussion at the next Regular Board Meeting scheduled for February 2, 1995. At this time, President Hockett reverted to the order of the agenda. 3. SOLID WASTE a. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF OPTION FOR LONG-TERM DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Deputy General Manager Paul Morsen and Counsel for the District Kenton L. Aim who have been working with Waste Management to achieve an acceptable agreement for long-term disposal of solid waste. 01 24 95 21 Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that staff has been negotiating a long-term disposal option with Waste Management to ensure that operators who might not otherwise have access to a reasonably priced landfill option would have an opportunity to bid on the new franchise agreement. Mr. Morsen briefly described the terms of the proposed agreement for disposal at Altamont Landfill. Mr. Morsen stated that Waste Management desires to minimize the number of trucks travelling to the landfill so they have requested an average tonnage limitation of 14 tons per load entering the landfill. A one-year break in period has been negotiated in order to allow for start up difficulties. Mr. Morsen stated that to accommodate potential bidders in dealing with this change, a 30- day extension to the RFP deadline will be requested from the CCCSWA Board of Directors at their regular meeting on January 26, 1995. Mr. Aim, Counsel for the District, distributed documents entitled the Option to Execute Agreement for Disposal of Solid Waste at Altamont Landfill and Exhibit A, the Agreement for Disposal of Solid Waste between the District and Waste Management of Alameda County. Mr. Aim reviewed the key points of each. Mr. Aim stated that this is simply an option for bidders who do not own or have access to a landfill in the area. The District is not required to enter into this agreement, but if it did the option would be preserved. Following discussion, it was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Menesini, that the Option to Execute Agreement for Disposal of Solid Waste at Altamont Landfill and Exhibit A, the Agreement for Disposal of Solid Waste between the District and Waste Management of Alameda County, be approved in substantially the form presented; and that the President of the Board of Directors be authorized to execute said Option. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. 5. REPORTS None 6. ANNOUNCEMENTS None 7.
