meetings held to devise a fair, equitable and trackable method
of extending the refuse collection contract that would protect
the taxpayers in Santa Ana from excessive charges, and at the
same time provide a fair reimbursement to the Contractor, with
some guarantee of a continuum of the services the City has had.
Enclosure #1 of the report itemizes the rates the Contractor
feels he would need to extend the contract on a fixed rate
basis showing a 20% rate increase in residential rates and a
58% increase in commercial rates the first year. Enclosure #2
states that the Contractor shall be paid at a rate calculated
July 1 of each year that is equal to the average of the rates
in the six cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden
Grove, Huntington Beach and Orange. At this time, the average
rate proposal would result in a 5.3% increase in residential
rates and a 22.2% increase in the commercial rates the first
year. Mr. Spragg stated that the Director of Public Works John
Stevens would be working with Mr. Blackman of Great Western, or
his representatives, to determine the minimum levels of service
to assure quality service for City residents as well as an
equitable cost.
Councilman Bricken asked the City Attorney what recourse the City
would have in the event the Contractor acquired sufficient inter-
est in the companies serving the six other Orange County cities
to be in a position to drive up the rates. Mr. Gow responded
that the terms of the contract would prevail.
Mr. Spragg added that the Contractor would be in violation of
anti-trust laws and subject to prosecution if collusion were
suspected. Councilman Bricken suggested that language be in-
cluded in the agreement addressing that situation, even though
other legal remedies are available to the City. He stated that
such language in the contract would tend to avoid some criticism
and may expedite the solution of any future problems in that
regard.
Verlyn Jensen, Attorney for the Contractor, stated that Great
Western Reclamation would agree to the continuance of the
unilateral cancellation clause, and they would also be unopposed
to an anti-monopoly, anti-collusion clause.
Jan Boer, 912 North Lowell, stated that she would like to see
the contract go out to bid. A-78-29
