County).
DISCUSSION
At the June 20, 2017, City Council Meeting, Council directed staff to start exploring an extension
of the solid waste services contract with USA Waste of California, Inc., (dba Waste Management
of Orange County), the current service provider. The approved amended motion expanded the
scope of the proposed 90 -day negotiation period to include a possible one -to -multiple -year
extension alternative.
In the ensuing 90 days, both parties have made considerable strides toward completing this
process. First, a nondisclosure agreement was executed in furtherance of the continuing
negotiations and to facilitate the exchange of confidential and proprietary information.
Subsequently, the Amended and Restated Solid Waste Agreement was also executed by all
parties.
Concurrently, staff has held community outreach meetings with the following groups:

waste services agreement.

analyze agreement components. Still to be finalized are new recycling programs, including State

ensure that all options are thoroughly reviewed for Council consideration on October 17, 2017.
