At that time, the city entered into an agreement with Oakland Scavenger Company (recently renamed Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC). This agreement created an exclusive franchise whereby the company was to collect, remove and dispose of all solid w~ste accumulating in the city for a ten year period which expires on April 1, 1996. The current agreement provides for an extension of the agreement for an additional ten year period, provided both parties agree to the extension. The city also implemented curbside residential recycling and a multi- family recycling program also provided by WMAC under separate agreements which expire on March 31, 1996. In 1989 the State Legislature imposed AB 939, the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 which requires cities to develop programs which will reduce the flow of waste to the landfill by 25% in 1995 and by 50% in the year 2000. There have been significant changes in the provision of solid waste oservices within the past five years. It is hoped that a new agreement will integrate all elements of solid waste collection and diversion under a single contract. The City is also limited by the current structure of its solid waste agreement in that the term of the agreement does not provide a guaranteed disposal arrangement beyond 1996. WMAC has expressed an interest in continuing to serve the residents and businesses within the City of Dublin. The city has also received a request from Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) , who is interested in presenting a competitive bid for service. Given that WMAC and BFI are the only landfill operators located in Alameda County, it is highly likely that any proposals received will need to utilize one of these landfill facilities. In 1993 the annual cost was nearly $2 million. A typical agreement covers seven to ten years so this would be potentially over a $15 million agreement over the life of the contract. There could be new programs which would add to the cost. There are two options available in considering the selection of the provider of solid waste services~ The City may seek competitive proposals or directly negotiate with a single firm. The approach selected will affect the Scope of Consultant Services requested in the draft Request for Qualification (RFQ). The city will need Consultant Services whether the city seeks competitiv;e proposals from multiple vendors, or negotiates with a single provider. The Consultant would assist with solicitation and analysis of competitive proposals. I 0 #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% Regular Meeting CM - VOL 13 - 268 September 12, 1994 EXHIBIT 6 The current schedule would provide for the city to complete selection of a service provider, as well as negotiation of a final agreement by June 30, 1995. This schedule will allow the selected provider to have adequate time to gear up for any capital purchases required and/or development of public information campaigns necessary to implement any new or expanded services. staff's recommendation was that the City utilize a competitive Request For Proposal process to seek providers for the service and that is the manner in which the draft RFQ for Consultant has been structured. That would assure the community that there is a competitive benchmark for the services they are receiving, as well as responding to the interest the city has receoived so far from more than one firm. Once the Consultant's RFQ was circulated, staff would be bringing back to the Council a recommendation on the Consultant, as well as an agreement. Cm. Moffatt asked if there had been a comparison of the prices of others with the City's current provider recently. As he remembered, the present provider had the lowest price of all the Counties. Mr. Rankin confirmed it was a lower rate, but what is in all the rates has to be investigated. Mr. Ambrose indicated that Waste Management provided services to other communities at a higher rate. A lot depended on what goes into that particular contract. Cm. Howard asked for an explanation of what the $69,000 for consultant services covered as she felt it was a lot of money. Mr. Rankin explained this figure was an estimate based on some preliminary discussions. The consultant would be working with Staff to identify what should be in a minimum scope of worki For example, is the city interested in looking at automated service or noti what type of greenwaste programi and is the city happy with all the programs it has. They would develop a Request For Proposal that would basically be a document that the vendors could bid on by submitting how they intended to do the program and what the costs with that type of program would be. The Consultant would assist Staff in evaluating the proposals, which can be quite complex. The Consultant would negotiate a final agreement for service. Mr. Ambrose indicated that during the annual rate setting process that the city has with the current garbage provider, a consulting firm is hired by the Joint Rate Refuse Review Committee, in which the City and a number of other cities in Alameda County are a part of, to assist the respective cities in evaluating the operations of the current Waste Management provider to make certain costs that are being identified for the operation of the service are appropriate as they relate to the respective franchise agreements. It is not a simple issue. The agreements must be structured in a way the citizens are protected wh~le providing a fair agreement to the provider. It is very technical in nature with a lot of legal issues in regard to collection costs and landfill closure costs which/are reflected in cost of operations. #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 269 Regular Meeting September 12, 1994 Cm. Moffatt asked if the $69,000 for the Consultant, was a group rate or the city's rate. Mr. Rankin responded that it was a budget estimate for the City of Dublin because the city of Dublin was currently the only City that has a franchise expiring. Cm. Burton asked if the Livermore contract runs out at the same time. Mr. Rankin responded no, it was his understanding that in the last two years, the City of Livermore had renegotiated an extension of seven years with a three year option. Mr. Ambrose indicated staff had talked with Livermore to see if they would be interested in extending their contract to coincide with the franchise agreement. There was no interest. Cm. Burton asked if the bid would be separated, so that different functions or programs could be selected from different people or would it be all inclusive. Mr. Rankin stated it was a possibility and was something staff would want the benefit of experts in the field to advise the city on the pluses and minuses of doing that. There are agencies that have gone with different providers, but they have different problems in trying to coordinate the service. For the consumer, there could be the confusion of was today the greenwaste or was today garbage day. There is a lot of technology happening now and whether some of that could be consolidated into one truck down the street instead of three trucks are some of the things staff needed to find out, as well as the cost for selecting one method over another. Cm. Burton indicated he had received a lot of public interest expressed through telephone calls stating how satisfied they were with the present garbage program. He felt we have all been well served. Cm. Houston realized this was not a public hearing but perhaps there were members of the audience who would like to speak to this issue. Mayor Snyder agreed with Cm. Houston and realized all the Councilmembers were probably deluged with phone calls over the weekend relative to this item. He invited members of the audience to come forward to speak on the issue requesting speakers to identify themselves for the record. Gabe Mendoza, who has been a resident for 28 years in Dublin, asked the Council to continue with the present service. He felt it has been good service and it should be continued. Cm. Burton wanted to make it clear that no decision would be made that evening on the Request For Proposal, but the Council would approve getting a Consultant to put the program together. #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 270. Regular Meeting September 12, 1994 Bonnie Moss, Browning Ferris Industries Public Affairs Manager, urged the Council to follow Staff recommendation. Browning Ferris Industries is a world leader in the recycling and waste industry. They serve over 1,000 communities in North America and 3,000 worldwide. Locally in Alameda County they operate the Vasco Road Landfill and most recently having started September 1, they are the comprehensive collection company for Fremont. She felt competition is good for the constituency the Council represents. In the case of Fremont, they wanted to originally extend their contract with their provider of 38 years, but decided to release an RFP instead, go through the competitive process, and in the end it was Browning Ferris Industries that was selected. In the bid, BFI proposed a state of the art recycling truck. Also, BFI produced a system that would recycle more for Fremont. They are recycling over 150 tons more per day than they had done before under the former system. The BFI proposal to Fremont was $3.5 million cheaper than the next lowest bidder. Competition is good; it can increase the quality of the proposal the City gets. It asks the people that want to provide service to the City to roll up their sleeves, sharpen their pencils, and in the end the City gets the better deal. They are hopeful Council will follow Staff recommendation and engage in a competitive bid process and know the process will require anyone who is interested to really listen to the community and provide the service the community is looking for. In Fremont the residents had been satisfied with their former service provider, but after going through the process, people are adjusting quite smoothly and consistently in a smooth transition which has been implemented as of September 1. Juan Padilla, a resident of Dublin for 7 years and an employee of Waste Management, indicated he had attended the public hearing in Fremont concerning the garbage service because the decision would affect him. On written paper, it showed the service was $3.5 million less, but any little adjustment to containers was nickeled and dimed and cost the resident. Routes were suppose to be finished in eight hours, but guys were still not finished with the routes up to 12 hours later. Some people went from Waste Management to BFI thinking conditions would be better only to find it was the worst mistake they ever made. Many of Waste Management workers have 15 to 30 years of service with the company and are residents of Dublin and are registered voters. Tim Malone has lived in Dublin since 1991 and works for Waste Management. He concurred what Juan said was true about the containers. They are called pullman fees. When the gate has to be unlocked, there is a charge. Commercial accounts are charged $5 to: pull the bin around. He claimed when BFI took over Fremont, the rates were raised 41% to residential. He was not sure what the rates to commercial were. He worked today and got done at 4:45 p.m. and he saw garbage trucks coming in the yard about 5:00 p.m. He stated that some of them keep their garbage overnight in the trucks which is illegal because the dumps are closed down at 6:00 p.m. He wouldn't believe what they say. If you are happy with the service, stick with what you are happy with. Don't adjust nothing. You might be sorry. #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 271 Regular Meeting September 12, 1994 Jose Vargas, a resident of Dublin, indicated he was happy with the service and he felt it was good service and he wanted to stay with the same company. Dan Borges, General Manager of Livermore Dublin Disposal, indicated his company has serviced the Dublin area for over 33 years. During that time, they have provided excellent service to the customers. Dublin has realized some of the lowest rates in Alameda County and other surrounding communities. The city of Dublin had the foresight to be one of the first cities in Alameda County to institute recycling services. Livermore Dublin Disposal was proud to instigate these services successfully. In the near future the City of Dublin will have to implement other recycling programs to meet the goals of AB 939. LDD is there ready to meet the challenges whether it be a greenwaste program, commercial recycling program or any ,other program that is needed. LDD has the experience and expertise to do this. Their track record is such that any program that has been instituted by LDD has been successful within the city. It has always been and will always be LDD's goal to be a good corporate citizen. Some organizations LDD supports or are involved in are the Chamber of Commerce having been a member for 25 years; Dublin Fine Arts Foundation helping in art projects to promote recycling; the elementary schools of Dublin by providing lesson plans to teach the children about recycling; supporting the FFA and 4H Programs, as well as the Dublin Historical Society; they participate in the Dublin st. Patrick's Day Parade with the entry of a recycling truck. Because of the 33 years of service and involvement in the community, and the continued low rates,LDD respectfully asked the city Council to direct Staff to enter into negotiations with Livermore Dublin Disposal, Division of Waste Management of Alameda County, to negotiate an extension to their contract. Cm. Burton asked what would be involved in the greenwaste program. Different cities have different ways. Would LDD be proposing a way of doing it or would the City make the specs? Mr. Borges assumed the Staff and consultant would come up with some specs. LDD presently collects greenwaste in the City of Livermore in a program that started in July to 16,000+ customers and have not had a problem. The material has been very clean due to their public education to the customers and has been very successful. Already 500 tons of greenwaste was moved out of the city of Livermore. Cm. Burton asked what was being done to the greenwaste. Mr. Borges responded at the present time, it is being treated and things are being done with it. It is being composted, mulched, and some things' are going to direct land application to augment agricultural lands. Cm. Houston asked Mr. Borges to describe how the City has been looking at LDD's books all along the way to examine their expenses and profit margin. Mr. Borges responded the Joint Refuse Rate Review Committee takes the books of Waste Management of' Alameda County and hires an outside #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 272 Regular Meeting September 12, 1994 consultant and they go totally through the books and determine if the costs are justified and at that point the company is allowed a reasonable rate of return. Mr. Ambrose indicated that procedure was on the basic garbage service only. Recycling programs are not covered through that process. Cm. Houston stated part of the reason the city has such great rates as we do now is because the basic service is overseen to some degree. Mayor snyder indicated that the option remains with the local political entity to do what they want to do. All the consultant does is glean out the information and allow the Council to deal with the information. Mr. Rankin explained that each city had a person attend the JRRRC meetings, but the JRRRCwas in a strange transition primarily because of changes in membership. Votes are based on population. The Tri-cities have now broken off, and Livermore is no longer a participant. The city of Oakland from a technical standpoint can pretty much make many of the decisions because of the weighted population. The other thing that has occurred with sessions just starting is the Company has indicated the rate of return that has been granted was not equitable and they are pursuing the matter with their own team of consultants, which is different from what has been seen in the past. They have accountants, as well as consultants, to present their case. This year the JRRRC has hired Deloitee Touche. The City of Dublin had been in a surplus position, but the numbers have not been determined to find out where they are this year. The Company has not dealt with the big issue of closure/post-closure costs at the Altamont Landfill which run into million of dollars and how those costs will be paid. The JRRRC is trying to obtain the answers so the representatives can return to their cities with the answers. Mr. Borges indicated LDD has always operated efficiently to keep the rates low in Dublin such as by changing to a two man crew. Cm. Burton asked if the $70,000 consultant fee would be necessary if we negotiate an extension of the LDD contract. Mr. Borges responded that LDD could corne up with the programs and give the city a proposal for them, but the need for a consultant is a question that should be directed to Staff. Most cities hire consultants to ensure that the city is getting the best for itsomoney. Mr. Rankin indicated there are different directions that the final negotiations may eventually take. For example, when the City went through the process with the cable television franchise, when the franchise was eventually granted, one of the elements of the final agreement was that there would be some form of reimbursement for the costs incurred in negotiating that franchise agreement. What that does is make sure everyone who has an interest will work as efficiently as possible to get it done. There are still a lot of details that need to be worked out and which can't be done until Staff knows the direction . I Counc~l wants to take. #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 273 Regular Meeting Seotember 17.. ,QQA Sean O'Brien, a resident of Dublin, stated he concurred with all who said they were pleased with Waste Management Service. It is nice to hear that Waste Management will modify its service to meet the city's needs. Mayor Snyder indicated this was not a public hearing, but it is appropriate for the Council to make some determinations. He asked for a clarification. It seemed there were two options; one is initially to select a consultant that could be used regardless of what the Council decided and a determination of RFP for provider could be done subsequent to this evening. Mr. Rankin stated Staff needed directions to be able to let the consultant know what it is the city wants them to do. Cm. Houston indicated he was very happy with the present service as a councilman and as a homeowner. He hears people rave about the quarterly pick-ups and what they are allowed to pick-up. Other cities may have problems with "nickel and diming" the residents, but in Dublin anything you put out, they will pick up with smiles on their faces. He would like to see the City start negotiations with Livermore Dublin Disposal and if an agreement cannot be reached, then the City would go to the competitive bid process. Since the City has the absolute lowest rates and great service, LDD is entitled to the first shot. Mayor Snyder asked what Cm. Houston would anticipate a threshold would be when the Council would make that determination as far as Staff recommendation or negotiations. Cm. Houston responded Staff would have to come back to the Council if there was an impasse in negotiations. Mayor Snyder felt there had to be a threshold where the decision has to be made when negotiations were going nowhere. Cm. Houston responded he would rely on the City Manager to make the recommendation. He would really like the City to be able to work out a situation, but if it cannot be done, then Council would have to go to competitive bid. Mr. Rankin felt placing a vendor in the situation where they know there is a potential in the future that they may be forced into a competitive bid situation, may mean you will never see the bott9m line before you tell them the City is going out for competitive bids. Mr. Ambrose indicated it did not place the vendor in a fair position because if the Council left that option open, it is not fair to allow their competition to look at what their proposal is. Mr. Rankin explained that the cost alternative may not be the only basis that the Council decides to award a contract on. There may be other criteria. #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 274 Regular Meeting September 12, 1994 Cm. Burton agreed the Council would not be locked into just costs on the bid process. Cm. Houston said the Council would want to look at the whole package which would consist of service as well as price. He felt LDD was entitled to the first shot. If it did not work out, then the council could go to the alternative. But he would like to start negotiations with LDD because they have done a good job and a good price for the city and he felt it would continue that way. Cm. Burton agreed in principal that everyone seemed to be happy with the service, but ohe still felt the Council had a responsibility to find out because there are other factors to be cranked into the agreement as far as additional services. He would like to see it broken down as to the different programs. He had confidence that LDD would give the city its best shot, but he did feel that as a matter of public principle and pOlicy, the Council should go ahead and have a bid process after the consultant is selected. Cm. Houston stated that earlier in the year, there was a recommendation for Request For Proposal for the Building Inspection Department. At the time, the majority of the Council felt that the quality of work was such that there would not be a bid process. So it is not unheard of not to go forward with the Request For Proposal. Again, he felt LDD was entitled to the first shot whether they get it down the road or not because they have been doing a great job at a great price. Cm. Burton felt there was not much time for a lot of maneuvering under the timeframe that an agreement needed to beodecided by June 1995. Cm. Moffatt wanted to see the Waste Management be extended until April 1, 1996. He concurred with Cm. Houston if the thing isn't broken, why fix it. Cm. Howard agreed that the community has gotten very good service and very good prices. She would prefer to see LDD have first shot. Cm. Burton asked what the timeframe would be. People should understand that Waste Management has the contract until April 1, 1996. Mayor Snyder responded that Staff recommended that an agreement be in place by June 30, 1995. em. Houston felt it was in the interest of LDD and the City to negotiate and get something done in a timely manner. On motion by Cm Houston, seconded by em Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to hire the consultant to whatever degree is appropriate in order to initiate negotiations with our current vendor. * * * * #%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% eM - VOL 13 - 275 Regular Meeting september 12, 1994 .. .:.

This new contract is likely to significantly increase garbage collection rates for Dublin residents.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO TIlE CONSTITtrI10N OF THE UNITED STATES, RATIFIED DEC. 15, 1191 EDrroRIALs Garbage contract should go out to bid THREE communities in the Tri- Valley area incorporated during the 1980s. The motivation that drove citi- zens to incorporate boiled down to local control: local people making deci- sions that affected local residents. Dublin, Danville and San Ramon all incorporated within a two-year period. A common thread through each incorporation was to operate cost-efficient govemmeIlt that focused on services that citizens needed. The city of Dublin has stayed the truest to its original' mission. It remains the leader at providing city services by contracting with outside vendors. That conunitment has served citizens very well over the past 12 years. We therefore found it curious, to say the least, that the City Council passed up an op- portunity to drive down costs for its citizens. The city's 10-year garbage contract is up. Its staff members recommended putting the contract to bid. The city of San Ramon . saved a pile of money for its residents when it opened the garbage contract to a compet- itive situation. Dublin was in a similar position. Garbage giants Waste Management h1c. and Browning Ferris Industries both do business in the county. Both aggressively have bought independent garbage companies over the past decade. Waste Management purchased the independent that served Dublin. Surprisingly, the council bowed to the lobbying effort by Waste Management and decided to hire a consultant for $69,000 to negotiate. a new contract with Waste Man- agement. It was a waste of money, although we can imagine there will be no shortage of appli- cants for the consultant'sjob. A simple competitive bidding process likely would have driven prices down and re- sulted in better service for the community. That's what San Ramon experienced. We believe Dublin residents would have been much better served if the city had re- lied on private enterprise to bid for the right to provide services. We're confident that both the bid process and the eventual contract could have been structured tightly enough that residents would have el\ioyed equal or better service . for less money. It would be prudent, particularly in this election year, for the council to revisit this issue. If the city is going to grant a monopoly - a practice other communities in other states don't follow - then the monopoly company must at least win a competitive bid process. {) 100% recycled paper ~f1f!'"E SUMMARY OF RESPONSES ADDRESSED TO CITY COUNCIL :SFI WASTE SYSTEMS SURVEY PAGES 1-20 = 731 Responses Supporting A Competitive Process PAGES 21-22 = 28 Responses Supporting Negotiating With Current Provider EXHIBIT 8 This is the list of people who sent in cards saying "I/We would like to see the City of Dublin require an open competitive process for waste disposal and recycling service, or who called leaving that message: ~ Abrew, Brenda Ackley, Dennis Aguilar, Laura Ahance, John M.

BFI is very eager 10 pHrticipate in such a process and equally motivated to become your future service provider when your current contract with Waste Management expires in 1996. As you know, we n.:ccnlly comlucted a community survey mllong Dublin residenls to learn more about their unique needs and wanls regarding Dublin recycling and waste services. Our survey was conducted through direct mail, reaching approximately 8.000 households during the months of November and December, 1994. The BFI mailer contained an informationallctter. a copy of a Tri- Valley Herald editorial supporling an open competitive RFP process. and two postcards through which residents could provide feedback--one to the City expressing opinions on whether or not the City should release a competitive RFP; ,l11d Hnother to BFI expressing opinions about current recycling and waste services, and how those services can be improved. In my conversation with you the other day J was pleased to learn of the overwhelming support among Dublin residents which you have recorded so far--724 to 24--in favor ofreleasing a competitive RFP to interested proposers who wish to servc your community's future recycling and waste needs. We were equally impressed with feedback to BFI. As of January 3, 1995, a whoppinl! 1.157 residents- nearlv 140Ic,--had returned response cards to our offices! That's a phenomenal response rate given that 1-2% is more commonly expected and 5% is considered outstanding. Our major findings include: 97% of the respondents want the City to agree to an open competitive process where various waste companies compete to provide Dublin's future recycling and waste services, Although residents periodically recycle, most would recycle more if it were more convenient. 65% don't recycle cardboard or junk mail in any way. 66'% don't recycle yard waste in any way. 78% say they would use a yard wm;te container if one was provided. In uny event. 28% want more recycling services. . Many residents are conccrned about cost. 39% want whatever service is cheapest. . Residents prefer curbside to backyardlsideyard service by a slight margin. 26% prefer curbside service. ' 19% prefer backyardlsideynrd service. 11 % had no opinion. . . Over 40% state that current service is just adequate or below. 42600 BOYCE ROAD (945~8) · P.O. BOX 5013 . FREMONT, CALIFORNIA 94537-5013 . (51E EXHIBIT 9 ~e . Recycled paper <I Mr. Paul Rankin / City of Dublin January 9, 1995 Page 2 Beyond these survey results, it may also interest you and the City Council to know that nearby communities arc discovering significant benefits in releasing competitive RFP's for recycling and waste services. The enclosed article highlighting the City of Newark's experience is one such example. The City of Fremont, another nearby example, saved its community approximately $3.5 million by going with a competitive process. As you know, with an open competitive process, the City will have options. You could decide to select the lowest bidder, you could choose the company you believe is best, or you could extend the existing contract with your current service provider. We hope you consider the overwhelming feedback ti'om your community when making this important decision. Thank you for keeping BFI informed on the status of your process. We look forward to attending your January 23rd City Council Meeting to participate in further discussions on this important issue. Meanwhile, if I can be of any additional service please don't hesitate to contact me at (510) 657-1350, extension 3005. Happy New Year! cc: Dublin City Council enelosure '~e . :Garbage, rec::ycling rate~ may go down By Chris O'Connell STAFF WRITER NEWAJaK - Residents and busi- nesses wEU likely see lower garbage and recyc ling bills when a new col- lection seLVice begins in April, city officials al'illounced Friday. : Rates should fall by about 4 per- cent if the city stays with Waste Management of Alameda County as its trash .and recycling contractor, city officiaLls said. . For the majority of households) which use one 32-gallon trash con- tainer along with recycling binS, a 4 percent ,drop would lower the monthly ;::harge by 49 cents, to $11.77 from $12.26. The new rates would app ear on bills in April. . . The cit.:y is in the final phase of a competitiv'e process designed to se- lect a tras:h and recycling collector for the neJa seven to 10 years. New- ark's curmnt agreement with Waste Manageml5!nt expires March 31. .: . City ofIicials will ask the City . Council on Thursday to choose Waste Mmlagement again as the contractor and authorize city staff to negotiate a new agreement witlt the company. . . Details yet to be resolved include whether the new service will be mandatory for residents. and whether l'ecyclables will be picked up weekly. or every two weeks. Man- datory coJllection and biweekly recy- cling wouLld mean more savings, according to city officials, who said they will ask the council to conduct a special public meeting to go over such issue:s. . :..; ~The .mcellhOOd 'o! lower~'rates' comes as.;8. pl~t.sUrprise,'esP~ .'€ialJy.~el1 p~<:~(~tial!Y"~~~=i . pected'.:to\go}.JlP".sai(t~~"'H~~'r assistant;:;:city.,,~er JiS:The;}bJgf . factor was unprecedented' compe~~; 'lion, Hu~~o said: Waste Manage-. ment was one of three companies to submit a proposal to Newark out. lining services and likely rates.

Waste Management, which oper- ates in Newark through its subsid- iary, East Bay Disposal Co.,. . was able to lower the price from its .. existing level chiefly because the' city is willing to switch from back-.. yard to curbside service, said Dan Borges, division president and gen- eral manager of East Bay Disposal. The change means the company can start using trucks with aut0- mated arms that will pick up and empty the garbage containers, Borges said. That, in turn, means the company can staff its trucks with one worker instead of the. cur- rent two, he said. There will, however, be no n~t' loss of jobs for company employees in Newark, Borges said. " "Some of them will be doing'~ different job, but there won't be anY' less jobs available to them," he said.:' ~; (l Contingent upon the council'~j . approval and an agreement on ~; final contract, the new garbage and recycling service will start April 1. A. new feature will be a separate con- tainer, ~bly 64 or 96 gallons, for, yard c1ip~ings. The continued emphasis on recY': cling is a result of a 1989 state law. that requires cities to cut their gar..' bage production in half by the year 2000.;\ .
