RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code
to allow temporary construction and demolition solid waste to
be collected in roll-off containers or in bins.
2 . Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the Mayor
and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Ware
Disposal and an agreement and amendment with Great Western
Reclamation for collection and handling of temporary -
collection and demolition solid waste through the year 2002 .
DISCUSSION
In 1993, the City awarded a five year agreement to Great Western
Reclamation to collect and dispose of the City' s solid waste
following a competitive process. That agreement included all solid
waste generated in the City except temporary construction and
demolition solid waste.
At that time, the Council authorized staff to send a five-year
notice to haulers operating in the City indicating the City' s
intentions to limit the number of haulers for the collection and
disposal of temporary construction and demolition solid waste at
the end of the five-year period.
The Council also requested that staff work with the small haulers
to develop a process that would allow small haulers to continue
providing roll-off services in the City. Staff met with the small
haulers and representatives from the Chamber to develop a permit

process; those meetings failed to produce a permit process that was
acceptable to the various participants.
Based on the City' s need to recycle this sector of the waste stream
to meet the 50% diversion required by state law in 2000, staff has
met with Ware Disposal and with Great Western Reclamation to
develop agreements for handling the City's temporary construction
and demolition waste.
Currently, Chapter 16 of the City' s Municipal Code and- Great
Western' s agreement with the City limits other contractors to the
collection of temporary construction and demolition material in
roll-off containers. The proposed amendments (to the Code and to
Great Western' s agreement) remove that limitation and allow
contractors to collect temporary construction and demolition debris
in roll-off containers or in bins provided they have an agreement
with the City. These changes are proposed to guarantee the two
companies the same access to the marketplace.
The agreements submitted for Council approval will allow Ware
Disposal and Great Western Reclamation to collect temporary
construction and demolition solid waste through the year 2002 and
will provide recycling of these materials beginning in July 1998
(eighteen months before the compliance period begins for the year
2000. ) In addition, both companies have agreed to pay the City a
program surcharge and to indemnify the City against any fines
imposed by the State.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action until July
1998 . At that time the City will receive a 6% program surcharge on
the gross receipts of the two companies for temporary construction
and demolition materials collected in the City.
