Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting Feb. 28, 2012
10b. Property Owner Notice and Protest Process for Garbage Rate Increase
A
B
You
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
presentation
this
evening
is
to
give
an
overview
of
the
2012-13
garbage
rate
increased
proposals
submitted
by
our
franchise
garbage
provider.
Recology
san
bruno
after
my
initial
overview.
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Kirsten
pinaki
general
manager
of
ecology,
San
Bruno,
who
will
provide
more
detailed
information
about
the
supplemental
proposal
to
provide
initiate
a
organics
program
in
San
Bruno.
These
rate,
increased
proposals
have
been
reviewed
and
discussed
by
a
City
Council
sub
committee
consisting
of
mayor
drain
and
city
council,
member
Salazar
and
I.
B
/
the
franchise
agreement
Recology
san
bruno
is
entitled
to
rate
adjustments,
detail
on
a
debate
based
on
a
detailed
rate
analysis
every
three
years
with
interim
rate.
Adjustments
for
the
two
years
in
between
the
2012-13
year
is
the
second
year
of
an
interim
rate
increase,
so
the
upcoming
13
14
year
will
represent
the
next
detailed
rate
analysis.
The
interim
rate
adjustment
is
a
component
of
eighty
percent
adjustment
of
the
CPI
adjustment,
as
well
as
a
percentage
increase
for
the
allowable
passed
through
disposal
fees.
B
This
increase
the
interim
rate
adjustment
increase
for
the
current
year
results
in
a
two
point:
three
four
one
percent
increase.
In
addition,
at
the
request
of
the
city,
recology,
provided
a
second
supplemental
proposal
to
initiate
a
organics
pickup
program
in
San
Bruno,
due
to
increasing
interest
from
residents
and
businesses.
This
awareness
has
been
aided
by
the
fact
that
ten
other
agencies
in
San,
Mateo
County,
have
initiated
in
organics
program
within
the
last
year.
However,
this
program
does
come
at
a
cost.
B
The
Supplemental
proposal
for
the
organics
program
results
in
an
increase
of
nine
point:
three
seven
percent,
in
addition
to
the
interim
rate
year
adjustment.
This
increase
is
primarily
driven
by
the
fact
that
the
green
waste
odor
that
is
now
on
a
bi-weekly
pickup
schedule
would
move
to
a
weekly
pickup
schedule
because
it
would
have
food
waste
in
that,
and
that
would
result
in
the
need
to
add
three
more
to
collection
vehicles
and
three
more
drivers
to
accommodate
that
change
in
schedule.
B
So
the
overall
increase,
if
we,
if
the
City
Council
were
to
determine
to
initiate
an
organic
spro
gram,
would
be
eleven
point.
Seven
percent
this
next
slide
is
just
a
I
believe
you
received
a
handout
prior
to
the
meeting
that
basically
shows
the
comparison
of
san
bruno
rates
at
today
in
comparison
to
other
agencies
in
san
mateo
county,
and
what
that
rate
increase
would
look
like
based
on
the
two
point,
three
percent
increase
for
the
interim
rate
year
adjustment,
as
well
as
adding
the
nine
point.
B
Three
seven
percent
increase
to
initiate
the
Garnett
organics
program
and
the
comparison
is
an
ascending
order
of
comparing
those
agencies
that
do
not
have
organics
with
those
that
do
in
the
third
column.
So
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Kirsten
panocha
who
will
discuss
the
organics
program
in
more
detail.
C
C
The
proposed
organics
collection
would
then
allow
residents
to
put
yard
clippings
in
their
green
in
addition
to
food
waste
and
used
paper
products.
This
would
then
incur
it
would
result
in
us
having
to
pick
up
the
green
cart
weekly
and
that
material
would
again
be
brought
to
a
processor
in
creating
an
organic
compost.
C
C
One
of
the
questions
that
came
up
in
the
subcommittee
was
there's
a
price
difference
in
processing
yard
waste
and
processing
or
food
waste,
and
it's
a
somewhat
significant
difference.
So
I
wanted
to
explain
the
difference
and
how
that
works.
Right.
Now
we
take
the
greenways
to
the
processor.
It's
delivered.
The
material
is
then
ground
up
and
it's
put
into.
C
What's
called
a
windrow,
which
is
just
a
long
dirt
row,
it's
turned
on
a
schedule
and
it's
watered
on
a
schedule
and
it's
screened,
so
it's
very
low
maintenance
just
to
write
to
make
yard
clippings
into
regular
low-grade
organic
compost.
That
is
also
that
materials
also
used
as
kind
of
a
feeder
to
make
rich
organic
compost.
C
So
the
proposed
organic.
If
we
go
organics,
it
is
taken
to
the
same
facility,
but
it's
taken
to
a
different
area.
It
is
ground
up,
as
it
is
regularly
with
the
regular.
It's
also
mixed
with
other
food
waste,
and
it's
used
to
make
what's
called
a
good
recipe
for
organics,
it's
placed
in
a
covered
windrow
and
a
lot
of
things
are
then
done
to
it
that
the
gases
from
the
food
waste
is
captured
and
there's
some
leach
a
that
comes
off
that
has
to
be
treated.
C
C
Here
are
some
slides
that
show
it's
called
the
engineered
compost
system.
So
what
it
does
is
it
speeds
up
the
organic
process
and
in
the
top
left
you
can
see
that
it's
that
all
the
organics
is
put
into
a
pile
it's
covered
and
then
there's
air
pumped
through
and
the
temperatures
monitored
regularly
and
you
can
see
the
system
on
the
right
is:
what
puts
the
air
in
what
measures
the
temperature?
What
sucks
out
the
gases
that
the
food
waste
produces.
C
We
also
talked
about
what
are
some
of
the
reasons
that
we
should
do
that
the
city
of
San
Bruno
should
move
forward
with
organic
compost.
One
is
it
helps
meet
the
75%
statewide
diversion
goal
that
is
put
forth
by
a
bee
341.
A
bee
341
is
a
mandate
that
was
put
into
place
that
was
approved
on
october
six
2011
and
we'll
go
into
play
july.
First.
That
will
require
that
city
and
commercial
customers
that
create
four
yards
of
garbage
or
more
must
recycle,
and
it
also
the
biggest
part
of
it.
Is
it.
C
It
initiates
a
statewide
diversion
goal
of
75
percent
that
the
state
needs
to
meet
by
2020
by
putting
organics
into
play
in
the
city
of
San.
Bruno
will
help
us
achieve
that
diversion
goal.
It's
environmentally
the
right
thing
to
do
we're
hearing
from
our
residents
that
they
want
to.
They
want
a
compost.
C
They
want
to
do
the
right
thing:
they
want
to
teach
their
kids
to
do
the
right
thing
and
right
now,
a
lot
of
our
residents
are
working
outside
of
the
city
of
San,
Bruno
and
they're,
working
in
burlingame
and
they're
working
in
san
carlos,
and
there
they're
composting
at
work.
They
want
to
bring
that
and
they
want
to
compost
at
home.
Those
are
some
of
the
comments
that
we're
getting
from
our
residents
via
contact
us
and
online.
C
We
do
have
some
of
our
big
businesses
that
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
get
which
is
walmart,
calm
and
youtube.
Both
of
them
are
on
a
pilot
program
and
walmart
is
utilizing.
26
yards
of
green
waste
and
food
waste
and
their
service
twice
a
week
and
YouTube
is:
has
a
3-yard
earth
at
is
serviced
twice
a
week,
we're
also
getting.
We
got
some
contact
from
kaiser
corporate
that
they
are
mandating
their
offices
in
san
bruno
to
go
to
a
more
compost
organic
program,
we're
finding
that
that's
a
little
more
common
that
you
know.
C
Big
businesses
are
making
all
their
subsidiaries
in
the
different
cities,
comply
and
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
to
help
them.
Do
that
I'm?
To
give
you
a
couple
of
comparisons
which
I
know
I
think
you'll
find
useful
and
the
city
of
Pacifica,
who
has
about
12,000
residents,
they
roll
without
an
organic
program
and
in
the
first
year
they
reduce
their
garbage
by
712
tons
and
they
increase
the
organics
by
3,
20
I'm
side.
Note
to
that,
is
they
also
rolled
out
a
single
stream
recycling
program
at
the
same
time?
So
that's
so.
C
B
I
only
have
a
few
more
things
to
say
so
that
I
just
to
remind
you
that
the
action
being
requested
tonight
is
to
authorize
us
to
proceed
with
the
property
owner
notice
and
protest
process.
So
there
are
essentially
two
options
available
to
Council.
As
far
as
the
timing
of
this
notice
option,
one
would
initiate
the
noticing
process
immediately.
This
the
notice
could
go
out
as
early
as
the
end
of
next
week,
with
the
first
public
hearing
held
at
the
april.
B
Twenty
fourth
meeting
option
number
two
would
be
to
hold
off
on
sending
the
garbage
rate,
increase,
notice
out
and
wait
and
send
those
concurrently
with
the
upcoming
water
and
wastewater
rate
increases
which
are
scheduled
for
city
council
review
at
the
March
thirteenth
meeting.
So
that
would
have
the
notices
mail,
concurrent
with
those
rate
increase
and
have
the
public
hearing
held
on
may
eight.
B
So
in
closing,
there
are
three
items
that
we
are
seeking:
City
Council
direction
on
one
is
to
determine
when
to
initiate
the
mailing
of
the
property
owner
notice
and
just
to
add
to
that
former
slide.
The
city
council
subcommittee,
when
they
met
last
week,
did
indicate
express
an
interest
in
favor
of
option
number
two
on
that
item.
What
is
the
City
Council's
interest
in
pursuing
the
organics
collection,
and
the
third
item
would
be
what
rate
increase
should
be
noticed
in
the
property
owner
notices.
D
C
D
C
When
it
was
rolled
out
in
other
cities,
there
was
a
lot
of
concern
for
rodents
and
smell.
A
lot
of.
We
found
a
lot
of
tips
that
we
would
publish
out
for
the
residents,
such
as
using
a
paper
bag
to
absorb
a
lot
of
the
moisture
baking
soda.
We've
learned
a
lot
of
tips
that
we
would
put
in
our
outreach.
Okay,
great
thank
you.
F
F
F
F
I
don't
know
if
that's
worth
mentioning
as
well,
just
because
I
think
it's
important
for
folks
to
know
that
there
are
options.
Recycling
does
count
and
hopefully
does
pay
off,
and
that's
why
I
was
encouraging
that
last
time
and
I'm
still
feeling
that's
important
for
our
community
to
know
it's
interesting
to
me.
The
in
the
examples
you
gave
of
the
other
communities
as
far
as
when
they
went
into
and
how
many
tons
they
saved
or
transferred.
What
did
that
do
to
the
rates.
F
C
Know
what
I
don't
have
the
price
variation
that
Cupertino
or
pacifica
incurred
when
they
went
to
the
new
ring
when
they
went
to
the
new
program
and
Pacifica?
Was
they
rolled
in
a
few
programs
at
once?
They
were
they
rolled
out
there
organics
program
and
they're
single
stream
recycling.
At
the
same
time,
I
did
ask
cupertino
what
their
migration
rate
was
and
the
eighty-five
percent
of
their
residents
are
already
out
of
32
and
they
don't
have
a
20-gallon
option.
G
I
appreciate
you
providing
those
examples
in
the
PowerPoint
make
it
clarified
a
little
bit.
Some
of
the
questions
I
had
during
the
subcommittee
meeting
I
was
wondering
on
the
the
two
examples
that
you
gave.
The
two
cities
that
you
mentioned
did
they
have
a
well-established
recycling
program
prior
to
rolling
this
in
meaning?
Had
they
been
recycling
for
a
long
time
doing
that
successfully,
at
least
as
long
as
we
have
and.
C
Pacifica
hadn't
they
weren't
doing
single
stream
recycling.
They
were
doing
the
and
Felicia
can
actually
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
They
were
doing
that
the
stackable
recycling.
We
were
doing
way
back
when
they
had
rolled
it
at
the
same
time,
so
it
wasn't
established
single-stream.
Yet
Julie
Cupertino.
H
E
G
I
So
the
the
current
requirement
that
the
city
has
is
to
be
as
to
divert
fifty
percent
of
our
solid
waste
by
the
year
to
2000.
So
that's
the
requirement
we
saw
with
fifty
percent
requirement
that
seventy-five
percent
is
more
of
a
statewide
goal
right
now,
San
Bruno
is
at
the
generally
measure
in
diversion
anymore.
E
J
Thank
you
to
a
chair,
I
have
to
ask
question
what,
if
we
don't
do
it,
you
know
I
notice
on
yours.
You
know
your
comparison
sheet
here
that
Recology
is
leading
the
way
in
organics
and
that
there
are
other
competitors
that
are
not.
What
is
it?
What
can
you
tell
us
about
their
plans
like
like
cell
city,
scavenger
and
allied
way
so
I
mean?
Are
they
rolling
that
out
also?
Is
it
something
that
we
have
to
do,
or
is
it
something
that
we're
delaying
or
that
you're
just
trying
to
get
a
head
start
on.
C
It's
not
something
you
have
to
do,
I
think
it's,
it's
not
inevitable.
I
think
it
will
I
think
the
residents
in
the
commercial
community
will
will
push
for
it.
Eventually,
it's
not
something
you
have
to
do
today.
It's
something
that
we
want
to
kind
of.
Don't
want
to
be
the
last
one
to
jump
on
board,
so
we're
bringing
it
to
you
as
an
option
to
do
it
now,
but
you
don't
have
to
do
as.
C
G
A
B
B
So
those
are
the
two
options
as
far
as
timing
is
concerned,
that
we'd
like
direction
on-
and
the
second
item
is
to
identify
whether
or
not
we
want
to
note
what
rate
we
want
increase.
You
want
to
notice
keep
in
mind
that
you
can
notice
a
higher
rate.
We
are
not
determining
the
rate
at
this
point.
I'm
the
rate
will
be
considered,
come
end
of
April
early
May.
You
could
notice
a
higher
rate
and
then
always
move
forward
with
a
lesser
rate,
so
that
that
is
a
possibility.
So.
B
Do,
although
I
guess
the
the
downside
to
that
is
you're
losing
a
window
of
opportunity,
there's
an
education
window
here,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
going
to
when
we
initiate
the
mailing,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
start
that
education
process
on
the
organics
program.
So
that
would
be
the
hiccup
in
that
option.
But.
A
H
H
Councilman
he'll
be
Berra
for
bringing
up
the
compound
interest
rule.
You
know
things
cost
more.
It's
going
to
increase
geometrically
as
because
of
added
cost
to
the
added
cost.
My
first
question
is,
and
the
important
one
is
is
adopting
this
resolution
and
in
approval
later
on
approval.
Is
that
putting
the
cart
with
the
horse?
H
Is
that
it
we,
the
rate
increase,
comes
along
with
it's
a
package
deal
the
rate
increase
and
the
two
greens
a
green
a
week
is
that
is
that
all
one
thing
eventually,
you
know
when
you
vote
you
vote
on
that
I
would
assume
so
all
right.
Well,
we
going
to
vote
for
a
rate
increase
and
then
I
mean
in
the
reading
and
your
what
that
does
is
it
proved
the
ecology
thing.
A
A
We
have
an
option
to
include
organic
waste
in
that
which
is
going
to
increase
the
combined
rate
to
I
think
it's
11.7,
one
percent.
So
what
we
have
to
decide
is
we
are
it.
This
is
a
review
year,
they're
going
to
get
the
two
percent
because
of
the
contract.
We
have
to
decide
if
we
want
to
put
the
organic
with
this
and
just
get
it
done
now
or
if
we
want
to
put
it
off
so
that
you
know
the.
H
H
Could
somebody
talk
to
the
actual
details
that
somebody
like
me
who
would
go
through
in?
Is
it
gonna
be
extra
workload
on
me
as
an
individual
now
to
have
separate
containers
to
do
this
and
do
that
at
home?
And
could
you
talk
in
micro
and
not
macro?
Could
somebody
give
a
little
brief?
You
know
discussion
about
that.
Well,.
A
A

H

E

Only
added
can
that
you'll
receive
is
a
kitchen
pale
that
you'll
put
on
your
kitchen
counter.
Okay,
it's
about
that
big
and
when
you're
done
with
dinner,
your
wife
can
scrape
the
plates
on
into
the
pail
and
then
you're
going
to
dump
that
pale
into
your
current
green
one
that
you're
already
using
for
grass
it's
just
going
to
go
on
top
of
your
graph
in
the
green
one
and
your
pizza
box
can
now
go.
It
can't
go
in
the
recycling
because
it's
contaminated
with
grease.

The
chair
I
just
wanted
to
share
some
of
my
thoughts
and
I.
I
I'm
glad
mr.
lub
be
bluffing
brought
up
that
that
issue,
because
the
concern
I
had
to
is
that
this.
This
organics
program
is
it's,
it's
very
messy
it
and
it
does
require
extra
work
on
the
part
of
of
the
residents
to
make
it
successful,
and
you
will
have
to
keep
this
nasty
little
pale
somewhere
in
your
kitchen.
G
Full
of
pretty
nasty
garbage
you'll
have
to
rinse
out
your
green
bin
weekly,
probably
if
it's
got
food
junk
in
there
to
keep
it
clean,
and
so
it
doesn't
stink
up
and
for
all
that
you
get
to
pay
an
extra
nine
point.
Three
seven
percent
increase
on
your
rate
for
the
privilege
of
doing
that.
So
my
only
my
concern
I
think
it's
a
good
idea.
It
is
the
right
thing
to
do
it's.
G
It's
a
it's,
an
environmentally
friendly
thing
to
do
to
divert
as
much
as
we
can
out
of
the
trash
cans
and
and
into
these
landfills.
We
don't
get
much
of
a
benefit,
though
as
homeowners,
and
if
we
are
composting
already
we
we
know
we're
already
doing
that.
If
we
get
to
put
it
in
there,
then
we
we
lose
the
compost
that
we
had
for
for
our
own
personal
use
and
I
mean
that
that
was
really.
G
F
Just
out
of
curiosity
to
the
chair,
do
we
see
any
the
technology
or
the
way
things
are
done
from
this
pale?
That
is
a
concern.
Councilmember
Salazar's
is
there
anything
that
we
could
see
changing
if
it's
not
adopted,
potentially
now
in
me,
two
years
from
now
it
is
or
do
we
see
the
exact
same
thing
today?
What
we
see
today
or
what's
proposed
a
day-
there
are
two
years
from
now.
C
Was
just
gonna
say
I
can't
I
can't
predict
technology.
I
would
hope
that
something
will
change
in
two
years,
but
I
don't.
I
can't
predict
the
future.
I
can
only
see
that
we're
gonna
have
to
walk
the
food.
Put
it
somewhere.
We're
gonna
have
to
put
it
in
the
green.
We're
gonna
have
to
put
it
in
there
and
it's
gonna
be
messy.
It
is,
but
we
have
found
like
I,
said,
a
lot
of
alternatives
and
a
lot
of
guides
to
help
residents
and
commercial
businesses
avoid
the
messy
we've
watched.
J
J
K
Mr.
mayor,
and
it
would
be
very
helpful
if
we
could
be
clear-
the
resolution
in
your
packet
does
not
include
the
organics
program,
does
not
include
your
direction
for
us
to
notice
the
organics
program.
So
it
would
be
very
helpful
if
they,
if
a
council
is
exceptionally
clear
about
what
you're
what
you
would
like
to
approve
and
if
you
were
to
want
to
notice
the
organics
program.
In
addition
to
the
normal
rate
increase,
we
have
some
additional
language
for
the
resolution
in
front
of
you.
Do.
K
What
we
need
from
you
tonight
is
it,
although
you,
if
you're
willing
to
defer
two
weeks
on
mailing
out
the
notices
we
could
bring
this
back
to
you
on
the
13th,
just
as
for
full
disclosure,
but
the
action
that
we're
looking
for
is
your
direction.
Regarding
what
rate
it
is
that
you
want
to
be
noticed
to
residents,
should
that
rate
be
the
two
point,
three
percent
that
is
part
of
the
normal
operations,
or
should
it
be
the
11.7
one
percent
that
would
include
the
organics
program
so.
A
A
A
K
D
D
So,
yes,
it's
a
little
messy,
but
you
know
originally
purely
recycling
things
was
messy
too
I
mean
people
had
a
big
problem
with.
Oh,
you
know
not
taking
that
old
can
of
something
and
throwing
it
in
the
garbage.
Can
they
learn
to
rinse
it
out
and
put
it
in
the
recycling
bin
and
after
a
while,
nobody
says
anything
about
it,
and
our
recycling
rates
are
very,
very
good,
so
I
for
one
think
we
need
to
do
it.
D
F
And
I
and
to
see
manager
I
did
understand
that
you
certainly
could
do
the
11.7
with
the
understanding
that
it
could
go
to
2.34
after
public
input
and
what
have
you
so
I'm
leaning
to
doing
that?
I
honestly
I
do
have
a
concern.
It
is
the
future
and
where
we
need
to
be
said
about
eleven
eleven
point:
seven
percent
we
haven't
gotten
to
the
waste
and
water
and
I
worry
about
the
resident
trying
to
pay
their
bills,
feed
their
family,
take
care
of
their
home.
So
that's
why
I'm,
having
a
concern?
F
I
haven't
heard
this
other
report
that
has
out
some
thought
process
on
what
those
rates
are
so
really
to
me,
I'm,
going
in
a
little
blind
because
I
don't
know
what
else
may
have
to
go
to
the
community.
As
far
as
other
rates
I'd
like
to
have
the
whole
picture
as
I
think
every
resident
wants
to
know.
What
are
we
looking
at?
What
does
it
mean
to
me.
K
Might
I
read
the
insertion
to
the
resolution
that
you
just
approved
for
the
purposes
of
the
record?
That
resolution
would
include,
in
addition
to
the
language
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
and
additional,
whereas
that
says,
whereas
Recology
san
bruno
has
provided
a
supplemental
proposal
to
initiate
a
new
organics
program
in
san
bruno,
which
results
in
a
nine
point.
K
K
E
G
Michael
make
one
closing
comment
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
topic:
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
members
of
the
public
to
chime
in
on
this.
There
is
an
opportunity
here
to
to
revisit
this,
and
I
agree
with
irene
that
it
is
something
we're
probably
going
to
have
to
do
eventually.
I
just
don't
know
if
the
timing
is
right
at
this
point,
and
you
know
I'm
risking
a
having
the
stigma
for
the
city
of
being
below
oscar
ecology
city
to
get
on
board,
but
I
think
maybe
we
can
wait
a
little
bit
longer.
Thank
you.
