Mr. Horstkotte stated that, after reviewing the problem, it is the staff recommendation to continue the present routine and rates until July 1,1970. After the experience of six months with the problem, the District would be better informed as to what changes might be indicated. He explained that the District Board is in a regulatory position as to the five franchised refuse collectors, making periodic reviews of the collectors' operations and establishing equitable rates. Mr. Horstkotte explained the present rates for single can pickup, two-can pickup, and occasional pickup. President Gibbs then opened the Hearing for discussion. Member Boneysteele explained the area which the District has under its jurisdiction. There were representatives from El Sobrante and Rodeo in the audience to find out how the District was to handle the problem. Mr. Pederson of Orinda stated he had between 30 and 40 fruit trees and he felt he was being penalized. President Gibbs explained that the "No Burn" ordinance was imposed by the Bay Area Pollution Control Board, not the District. He further stated that the District Board has hired Bechtel, Inc. to make a study for the District of what to do with the growing problem of waste disposal. President Gibbs explained that burning in the dumps was banned about five years ago and disposal is by land fill now. Members in the audience suggested that, with higher volume, rates should come down. Mr. Horstkotte stated that it would be premature to make a judgment without experience to indicate a change. He further stated that, if change is indicated, a change will be made. Member Mitchell stated that the collectors are probably faced with capital expenditures for additional equipment. To a question about the District's taking over the collection of refuse, Mr. Horstkotte stated that the District could not do the job the individual collectors are now doing with very few complaints in a year's time. Board Members Here questioned about a franchise to pick up only lawn cuttings, leaves and tree cuttings, etc. President Gibbs stated that anyone wishing to go into business should contact the District. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated that, traditionally, franchises are exclusive with no competing collectors in an area, and history shows that competition has led to situations almost impossible to police. The refuse collectors in the audience explained that for any size pickup other than regular service if a call is made to the respective office for the area an estimate will be given for pickup and proper containers delivered and refuse picked up where located on the property at the present, established rate of $1.80 ner vard. 12 0 ~~ £~~ );1 V ~- 30 A,< Board Members were questioned about establishing a monthly charge for unlimited pickup. The Board has this type of charge under investigation and intends to investigate further. Upon comclusion of the Hearing, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Boneysteele, that the present rates for refuse collection shall remain in effect until June 30, 1969, along with changes in the District Code for clarification. Carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Members: Members: Members: Boneysteele, Rustigian, Mitchell, Allan and Gibbs None None The Board Members directed that the staff prepare a letter, for President Gibbs' signature, to the Bay Area Pollution Control Board, pointing out the hardship the "No Burn" will have on the larger properties in central Contra Costa County.
