A written supplement outlining the criteria and procedures for program exemptions will be distributed at tonight's meeting. Staff is also prepared to address other issues identified by the Council. At the July 9, 1996 meeting, City Council directed staff to implement a residential yard trimmings recycling program not to exceed $1.50 per month per household. Council directed staff to amend sections 5B and C of the franchise agreements to specify new container services for this new recycling service. Council also directed staff to conduct an extensive public education campaign and to implement the program by October 1, 1996. Staff has initiated a public education and awareness campaign to inform residents of the upcoming yard trimmings program. Staff is currently accomplishing this campaign through media advertising on the local cable television, radio and newspapers.. Staff also sent letters highlighting the yard trimmings program to homeowners' associations, community organizations, chambers of commerce, and landscaper businesses. Staff has also formulated a speakers' bureau to make presentations to these organizations at their convenience. The haulers have confirmed that they will provide yard trimmings service to single family residents at a charge of $1,50 per month. This rate is based on participation by all single family residents. The new single family refuse, recycling, and yard trimmings collection rate for standard service is $21.72 a month. As noted in Resolution 96-103, the rate will remain unchanged for 15 months beginning October 1, 1996, Sections 21B and C of the residential franchise agreements are suspended to reflect City Council direction. Adopted: , _ AM For the City Council's consideration, staff is, preparing amendments to the City's Integrated Waste Management Code that will prohibit the placement of yard trimmings in regular refuse containers and will allow for program exemptions at the discretion of the Public Works Director. A first reading of the ordinance with amended language will be presented at the September 10, 1996 meeting of the City Council. An initial study and negative declaration for the yard trimmings program pursuant to AB 939 was prepared, noticed and circulated for public review in compliance with CEQA and the City's Environmental Guidelines. RECOMMENDATIONS 1) Adopt Resolution 96-113 which institutes a weekly, residential yard trimmings recycling program and adjusts the residential rate schedule by $1.50 for standard weekly service. 2) Execute the franchise agreement amendments with Atlas Refuse Removal, Blue Barrel Disposal, and Santa Clarita Disposal Companies to reflect the yard trimmings recycling program requirements and suspension of rate adjustments for a period of 15 months beginning on October 1, 1996.. 3) Direct staff to prepare amendments to the City's Integrated Waste Management Code which will prohibit placement of yard trimmings in unauthorized containers and will allow for program exemptions at the discretion of the Public Works Director.
