Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 18, 2016 Page 21 Mayor Roe agreed that park recycling was an important next phase for Roseville, and supported incorporating it into this new contract. As outlined by staff, Mayor Roe also agreed it made sense to look at the variety of ways to facilitate that ser- vice; noting there were no objections from individual Councilmembers as to using that approach. Based on the top performers and scoring indicated in staff's spreadsheets, Mayor Roe noted it looked favorable for the city for annual costs and with park recycling but without the city owning carts. Mayor Roe agreed with Councilmember McGehee that the city had enough items on its CIP spread- sheet without adding recycling cart ownership to it. While it may be a lower cost to the city initially, Mayor Roe opined the benefit to the city long-term was for the vendor to own and maintain the carts. Regarding a three year versus five year contract, Mayor Roe stated he had no preference, but thought the longer-term con- tract may prove more beneficial. Councilmember Laliberte expressed interest in this issue having another week for the community to review and provide input, and then take formal action at next week's City Council meeting. Discussion ensued regarding the timing for contract negotiation and other logis- tics between now and year-end; whether additional public comment would be forthcoming; and recognizing the public input provided in the recent community survey supporting the decision at this point. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of taking action tonight, based on the lack of public comment received since the item was initially included on last week's agenda, even though not heard until tonight. Mayor Roe noted pricing details had not been available to the public before to- night's meeting. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with selected contractor, Eureka Recycling for a five-year contract term including the parks recycling component, and ownership of the carts by the vendor; and further directing staff to return to the City Council for final approval of the contract at a future date. Councilmember Etten recognized the community survey results; and also noted there was no major change or cost in this contract, while providing increased ser- vices. Councilmember Laliberte stated she wasn't in disagreement with the recommen- dation; but was simply asking for a deferred process before approval; and for that reason, would not support the motion based on that process only.
