The following Councilmen were present: Gordon Bricken, Harry K. Yamamoto, Vernon S. Evans, James E. Ward, and Mayor John Garthe. Councilmen David L. Brandt and David F. Ortiz were absent. The following staff members were also present: City Manager Bruce C. Spragg, City Attorney Keith L. Gow, Director of Planning Charles C. Zimmerman, Assistant Director of Public }~rks John Stevens, Assistant Fire Chief Raymond H. Bachtelle, and Clerk of the Council Florence I. Malone. Lynn O'Dell, reporter for "The Register", was also present. PARAMEDIC PROGRAM The City Manager added to his status report dated August 12, with an oral presenta- tion, using charts which described the paramedic program and its costs over the past ten months. He stated that a second paramedic unit should be in operation by December 1976, at which time the existing unit would be used for standby purposes; that under a proposed contract with the Santa Ana-Tustin Community Hospital, recommended user fees would be billed and collected by the hospital, at a cost of $3.00 each; and that no one would be refused service because of inability to pay the user fee. He further added that although the Board of Supervisors had not acted to designate the Santa Ana-Tustin Community Hospital as a paramedic base training hospital, the Board had requested a report from the County Administrative Officer on the current training situa- tion for firemen paramedics within three weeks.. CA 64.2 TRASH RATES The City Manager referred to his reports of August 1 and 13, regarding a recommended 11% refuse rate increase to maintain the program on a self-supporting basis for fiscal year 1975-76, and stated that the increase amounted to 20{ more per month for the single family home owner (from the present $1.80 to $2.00). He further stated that the refuse contractor, Great Western Reclamation, had requested a retroactive rate adjust- ment because of increased labor costs which would amount to 30{ per water meter, commencing May 1, 1975 and ending April 30, 1976, at which time it would advance to 40{ per water meter through April 30, 1977, with a final increase of 50~ per water meter commencing May 1, 1977; that the administration does not have enough information to make a good judgment on the merit of the request, because it involves the profitability of the franchise. He commended the contractor's services, and suggested that the Council support the 11% increase in trash rates recommended by the staff, and authorize an audit of the residential and commer- cial services performed by the contractor, to include the possibility of an extension of the contract, with a target date of December, 1975 for report and reconunendation to the City Council. He pointed out that the contractor's request would require a 70{ increase (from $1.80 to $2.50 per month) for the single family homeowner trash rate. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 345 AUGUST 18, 1975 The City Manager distributed a comparison chart dated August 18, 197S, showing refuse costs of Santa Aha and cities of comparable population in Orange County, which indicated that Santa Ana's per capita monthly payment for refuse collection is among the lowest, but that the home owner trash rate and rate paid to the contractor are among the highest. Mr. Tom Blackman, Sr., representing Great Western Reclama- tion, stated that during the strike negotiations there had been no reference to a possible request for an official financial statement from the company in conjunction with a rate adjustment reqnest by either the administration or the City Council, nor had the City expressed any opposition to the $4.00 per hour wage rate, although the company had expressed its intention to "hang tough" for the $5.75 per hour figure to be paid to the company's employees. He further added that the comparison of the Orange County cities was not valid~in the respect that water meters are used as a basis for payment to the refuse collection contractor in Santa Aha, whereas in other cities listed, payment is on a per unit basis. A discussion on the commercial service followed, wherein it was stated that commercial rates are set by the contractor, and are submitted to the Director of Public Works for approval; and that on January 1, 1976, a commercial rate increase is highly probable. Councilmen Ward, Bricken and Evans supported the staff's recommendations for an audit that would provide the necessary information for its recommendation to Council with minimal financial disclosure by the contractor. CA 11.4 CIVIC CENTER GRAPHICS The Assistant Director of Public Works stated that the signing in the Civic Center is inadequate; that the consultant for the signing program, LeRoy Rose and Associates, had submitted a number of alternatives for approval by the City Council and the Board of Supervisors; and that staff recommended Alternative No. 2, at a cost of approxi- mately $60,000.00. Bob Freeman, representing the consultant, described the pro- posed signs as flexible and durable. Using a color coded model, he described the type of signing-to be used in various locations throughout the Civic Center super block, including two master directories, six pedestrian directories, four Civic Center Plaza site signs, and thirty building signs.. Mr. Freeman's presentation was continued to the Regular Meeting Agenda due to lack of time. CA 77.17 ADJOURNMENT At 2:00 P.M. the meeting was adjourned on the unanimously approved motion of Councilman Bricken, seconded by Councilman Ward.
