Carroll, Art Porter, Jim and Terri Horan, Robert Kahn, Leah Rol nick, and George .'. " .. . ..1.1. (~O3 ;88 184 Henebury of Ci rco Gl ass, was acknow ledged and by reference incorporated in the minutes. Mr. John Garity, Assistant General Manager of Waste Management of North America, addressed the Board concerning implementation of the proposed recycl ing program and automated curbside collection service. Three plastic containers would be provided for curbside collection of tin and aluminum cans, glass and plastic soft drink bottles, ,and newspapers. Mr. Garity reviewed the proposed program and indicated that Valley Waste Management would be willing to work with each resident individually if they encounter problems in using the toters in the automated curbside collection program. Mr. Garity stated that Valley Waste Management will invest millions of dollars in equipment for the proposed full-scale programs. Consequently, the District should recognize interest expense as a cost of doing business. Mr. Garity requested that in future years, rat&-setting adjustments be based on an index. This will encourage the contractor to be as efficient as possible. By the same token, the contractor must assume all the risks of doing business. Since future disposal costs are unknown, those must be reimbursed. In response to questions from the Board and members of the audience, Mr. Garity described the toter container and the collection and separation of recyclables. Board Members indicated a desire to have the automated curbside collection pilot areas. incl ude both flat and hilly areas. In response to a question from Member Dalton, Mr. Garity stated on behalf of Valley Waste Management, that the present rates are adequate and can be increased by the Consumer Price Index (CPI>. Mr. Garity stated that the approximate cost of the proposed recycling program net of sale of recyclable material would be $1 per household if Valley Waste Management were unable to implement the automated curbside collection serv ice. Mr. Garity stated that th is recycling program is a tried and proven program in that it met or exceeded pr&-determined goals for waste reduction in the San Jose area. In response to a question from a member of the audience, Mr. Garity stated that the current collection rate in San Ramon is approximately $6.50 per month. A significant rate increase has been requested in San Ramon. In considering rates for an area, the demographics of that area and the need for capital investment must be considered as well. In closing, Mr. Garity requested that the Board go forward with the proposed recycling program pilot project and let the publ ic make the decision on the service. Valley Waste Management is willing to provide a public information/education program and invest time, training, and equipment. Mr. Herman Sil verman, 691 Glenside Drive, Lafayette, addressed the Board on behalf of a group of his neighbors. Mr. Silverman stated that .he and his neighbors are in favor of recycling but are vigorously opposed to curbside collection of refuse. Mr. Sil verman requested that the issues of recycling and automated curbside collection be separated; that recycl ing be put out to bid; and that a legal opinion be secured with regard to bidding. Mr. Sil verman stated that refuse collection rates should not be based on the Cpr. Lastly, Mr. Silverman requested that this public hearing be continued to a later date when working people may attend. President Pro Tem Boneysteele stated that these hearings were moved to 3:00 p.m. as a compromise between daytime and evening hearings to accommodate people doing business with the District. An evening hearing was scheduled for the last refuse collection rate increase request, and no one spoke in opposition to the request. Ms. Avon M. Wilson, Vice Mayor of the City of Lafayette, spoke on behalf of the Lafayette City Council summarizing the comments contained in the October 26, 1988 letter from the Lafayette City Council attached to the position paper. The Lafayette City Council does. not endorse a long-term contract with the refuse collection rates tied to the CPI. Ms. Wilson stated that since the public hearing held by the Lafayette City Council, comments have been received. The majority of those comments suggested that consideration of the curbside recycling program be separated from consideration of the automated collection serv ice. The Board of Oi rectors may want to rev few these issues now. In any case, they shoUld be reviewed carefully at the end of the thre&-month trial period. The Board'should resolve the legality of allowing other .~"'~:, :.,'~.l~l~ ,t.~(l8 ..' 88 185 interested firms to make proposals for recycling. Concern has been expressed that the handicapped or aged may be unable to bring their refuse to the curb. Finally, Ms. Wilson asked what provision has been made for charitable organizations. Mr. Stanford W. White, 555 Silverado Drive, Lafayette, stated that there are three separate items' before the Board. Fi rst, the recycl ing program should be 'put out to bid. Secondly, there are some people who do not want to handl e thei r garbage whether they are abl e to or not. These people would not be in favor of automated collection. The franchisees should put notices of the hearings and the matters to be considered in the garbage bills. Lastly, there is no reason to change the current rate-setting process which is working very well. Mr. Steven A. Moore, of Pacific Rim Recycling, 433 Industrial Way, Benicia, requested that the recycling pilot program be put out to bid. Mr. Moore expressed concern that garden debris will be mixed with garbage. Mr. Moore stated that he woul d be willing to prov ide a recycl ing program for the District similar to the one he now provides for the City of Walnut Creek. The participation rate in Walnut Creek is at 130 percent of what was predicted. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Moore indicated that he would be happy to do a test program in any or all of the areas franchised by the District, if he felt there was a true commitment to expand the program if the test were successful. Mr. Moore indicated that one container woul d be prov ided for all bottles, glass, and aluminum cans. President Pro Tern Boneysteele declared a recess at the hour of 4:50 p.m., reconvening at the hour of 5:01 p.m. Mr. John R. Tulley, 3486 Springhill Court, Lafayette, expressed five points to the Board. 1) The Board should consider separating the recycling program from the refuse collection program. 2) Mr. Tulley objected to paying the same rate for a 60 gallon container that he now pays for a\96 gallon container. 3) The financial disclosure now provided by the franchisee should continue and should be made part of the contract. 4) Offers from other groups and agencies should be considered for both recycling and garbage collection. They may already have equipment and may hot need to invest millions of dollars. 5) Mr. Tulley objected to having garden clippings in the same container as garbage because of the smell and the chance of fire. Mr. AndreN Young, 1491 Laurenita Way, Al amo, addressed the Board reporting that he has received no objections to the proposal. A hearing was held by the Alamo Improvement Association. There were no objections to the proposal at the hearing. It is the opinion of the Alamo Improvement Association that the recycling program and automated service should be implemented on a trial basis as proposed. Mr. Young expressed his hope that the trial would be successful and that the program would be adopted on a community-wide basis. Mr. Louis C. Renaud, 2365 Royal Oaks Drive, Alamo, and Executive Di rector of the Round Hi 11 Associ ati on, stated that he has not yet received a full presentation on the proposed recycling program and automated collection system. Mr. Renaud recommended that the Board rev iaw a busi ness pl an which shoul d di scl ose personnel changes, income, and future rates. Mr. Renaud stated that it is extremely important that the automated collection system pilot project be conducted in hilly areas. Mr. Renaud stated that there are a number of peopl e who are physically unable to participate in the automated collection program. 1, 1, /i\ Q ,',......, ",eo '88 186 Mr. George Henebury, President of Ci rco Recycl ers, stated that the recycling program should be put out to bid. A letter and an outline of a proposal from Circo Recyclers/Pacific Rim was submitted to the Board and included in the agenda packet. There being no further comments, President Pro Tem Boneysteele closed the public hearing at the hour of 5: 18 p.m. and returned the matter to the Board for deliberation. In the discussion that followed, support was expressed for separating the three issues of recycling, automated collection service, and the rate-setti ng procedure. The Board req uested add iti ona 1 information on other recycling programs currently in operation, other providers who may be interested in providing recycling services, cost and revenue projections for the recycling program, and projections of cost savings to be generated from automation. Mr. Dolan reviewed the alternatives available to the Board and the kind of information that would be generated by the various pilot programs being considered. Member Carl son expressed concern with the estimated 30 percent reduction due to automated garbage collection and the corresponding 10 percent increase for recycling costs. The collector could achieve a significant profit. Mr. Dol an agreed and stated that was the reason staff recommended retaining the current financial review procedure and providing the ability to return to the current rate-setting method should the financial review indicate excessive profits. Presi dent Pro Tern Boney steel e stated that the solid waste fate of the District is in the control of others. Whatever resol ution of the sol id waste disposal issue is reached, an effective recycling program will be necessary. Curbside recycl ing will be needed. Member Carlson stated that the issues of recycling and service level shoul d be separated. If information on automated collection serv ice coul d be gathered during the recycling pl1 ot program, that woul d be hel pful . Mr. Hazard, Counsel for the District, stated that the Board has the right under the terms of the franchise agreEment to go forward with a pilot pr~ect or with a full-scale program with Valley Waste Management in their franchise zones. If the Board wished to consider other recycl ers, that woul d requi re 1 ega 1 ana lysi s. Before rendering such an opinion, Mr. Hazard indicated that he would 1 ike to give Valley Waste Management an opportunity to provide legal authorities supporting their position. Mr. Hazard stated that he would analyze those and proceed with his own legal opinion. President Pro Tem Boneysteele requested that staff review the testimony presented at this public hearing and define the alternatives before the Board, including the Valley Waste Management proposal. In response to requests for an evening hearing, President Pro Tern Boneysteele indicated that this matter will be brought back for further consideration at an evening meeting with the understanding that addi ti ona 1 input will be 1 imited to five minutes per person. Fo 11 ow i ng discussion, the public hearing to consider the recycling plan proposed by Valley Waste Management for Zones 2,4, and 5 was continued to 7:30 p.m. on December 15, 1988.
