the Council or its designee choose an option to implement when the current recycling contract expires on December 3 1, 2002. The Council referred consideration of the options to the Public Works and Transportation Commission for a recommendation. Council further instructed the Commission that the recommendation must include a pilot program for single stream recycling and that multi-family complexes be included in the City's recycling program. The Commission directed staff to issue a Request For Proposals asking vendors to make proposals on each of the three options. The current level of service was designated Option 1. Every week collection was designated Option 2 Single-Stream collection was designated Option 3�. _ Three Proposals were submitted and those were presented to the Commission on October 24, 2002. Troros�aW and a summary are attached.) BFI, E-Z Recycling and Waste Management also made presentations to the Commission. The Commission voted 4-1 to accept the Proposal on Option 1 from Waste Management. (For more on the debate see the attached draft minutes from that meeting.) g) Waste Management's proposal is for maintaining the current level of curbside service for home owners at $2.05 per household in 2003 with inflationary increases in 2004 and 2005. Two-sort collection service would be provided to multi-family complexes at $1.06 per unit in 2003 with inflationary increases in 2004 and 2005. Waste Management agrees to guarantee its bid price of $2.49 per household, plus annual inflationary increases over five years, for single-stream curbside recycling if Roseville agrees to implement the program after the conclusion of a pilot program. Policy Imnlications The Roseville City Council has set broad parameters for the recycling program in the City Code. For instance section 403.10 reads "The City shall contract with a recycling contractor.. . the City Council shall determine the schedule and frequency of the collection." In past practice the Council has worked with staff to design the best system to meet the needs of Roseville residents. For instance in 1998 staff solicited bids for twice a month, every other week, and once a week collection of recycling. The Council was then able to pick the bid with the best price and service to residents. Financial Imnlications Currently homeowners pay $1.75 a month for recycling. Roseville pays Waste Management $2.05 per household per month for recycling. The City uses an annual SCORE grant and fees charged to multi-family complex residents to make up the difference. The Proposal recommended by the Commission continues the current level of service for homeowners at the current price in 2003 (with an inflationary increase in 2004 and 2005) while implementing once a week recycling collection at multi-family complexes at a rate of $1.06 per unit. Multi-family complex owners would be charged the difference between their current charge and the $1.06 per unit charge. The charge for homeowners would go up approximately a dollar a year to recover the cost of the lost subsidy. If Roseville chose to begin single-stream recycling with Waste Management, homeowners would then begin paying approximately $5.28 a year more. Council Action Requested Council accepts the Proposal from Waste Management for recycling service.
