As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 151 Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2n° Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Amend Chapter 16 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code establishing standards for the retention of <br />workers during the transition to new ownership or a change in contracted waste collection and <br />handling services. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City currently has waste collection and handling agreements with Waste Management and with <br />Ware Disposal. Both agreements extend to June, 2018. <br />Recent changes in waste companies following a competitive selection process held in other cities <br />have resulted in the displacement of workers and in the payment of substantially lower wages and <br />benefits by the new companies. With the downturn in the economy, both employees and trash <br />companies with union agreements are concerned with protection for their employees. <br />The proposed ordinance addresses the retention of employees and the payment of wages and <br />benefits in circumstances where a company is under new ownership or a city decides to change <br />waste haulers. There will be no impact to Santa Ana until the City makes a decision on renewing <br />or rebidding its agreements with Waste Management and Ware Disposal. Any such decision <br />would not be submitted to the City Council until the beginning of 2017. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action. Because of the length of time <br />remaining on the agreements, it is difficult to estimate future fiscal impacts. <br />Raul Godinez II <br />Executive Directo <br />Public Works Agency <br />RGlrLC <br />Exhibit: 1.
