CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Amending Franchise Agreement with USA Waste of California (Carmel Marina Corporation)

Meeting Date: July 1, 2008
Prepared by: Joyce Giuffre

City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution amending the franchise agreement with USA Waste of
California (Carmel Marina Corporation) to expand annual community recycling efforts to include
both youth and adult nonprofit organizations.
Description: Section 26 of the City’s franchise agreement with USA Waste of California includes
an annual $18,000 payment from USA Waste to the City for community recycling efforts. The City
receives the funds and then grants monies to organizations participating in approved annual
recycling events.
The original language in Section 26 specified that the grants be made to “local non-profit youth
serving organizations”. To expand the community annual recycling efforts by involving both youth
and adult non-profit organizations, the City requested that Section 26 be amended to allow grants to
other non-profit organizations. USA Waste of California has agreed to the amended language in
Exhibit “A”.
Overall Cost: City Funds: $18,000 per year, received from USA Waste of California
Grant Funds: n/a
Staff Recommendation: Authorize the City Administrator to amend the agreement with USA
Waste of California.
Important Considerations: The current language in Section 26 of the franchise agreement
restricts the recycling grants to non-profit youth serving organizations only. It is anticipated
that recycling efforts in Carmel-by-the-Sea will be enhanced by amending this section of the
agreement.
Decision Record: The franchise agreement with USA Waste of California was last amended,
effective January 1, 2004.
