Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 7, 2019 Page 9 Mr. Culver indicated he brought that up in the past and thought the city had a good relationship with Eureka. He liked the company but thought Eureka was kind of double dipping between the eighty percent of the revenue as well as being able to use the index prices, particularly given the current contracts. He explained he has said that to Eureka, but the problem is he does not know what the carrot is. Right now, Eureka currently has best valued contractor status and the city does not have to go with the lowest bid. Roseville has long been held by Eureka as a model city for recycling as far as the recycling rates and the monetary residual in the recycling. He noted if Eureka values that, maybe that does mean something to them, and staff could try to push something like that. Councilmember Willmus thought those are some conversations the city should have with Eureka because that is something the city can look to without extending and carry this contract through to its conclusion. Councilmember Laliberte indicated she would support that and thought if Eureka values Roseville and what the city has done, it would be good to know that. Also, if Eureka goes through a couple more years of continuing to lose on their RFP's with other cities that might make Roseville a little more important to them come the renegotiation time. Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming for- ward. Mayor Roe summarized that the guidance was not to consider an extension of the contract for any kind of negotiation and see what the city can talk about during the remaining two years of the contract and not accept the current offer that is on the table from Eureka. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Culver for the update and thought the proposed rate sounded pretty good to him. e.

Mayor Roe thanked staff for putting this together because he was interested to find out how Roseville looked in the marketplace, the cost for various projects in the community, and is the city priced out of an area. He stated from this presenta- tion, the city is pretty close in the marketplace to other communities. Councilmember Groff thanked staff for the presentation. He indicated he read the Housing Affordability Institute study and thought it was important to mention
