And
while
we're
doing
that
I'll
I'll
start
with
moving
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
our
agenda
so
so,
if
we
we
go
to
the
slide,
show
view
that
would
be
awesome
and
so
we'll
talk
again.
We'll
talk
about
kind
of
an
overview
of
our
program,
just
as
a
refresher
for
folks
that
aren't
too
familiar
with
with
what
we
do
every
day.
Cal
recycle
is
here
to
share
an
update
on
senate
bill
1383
and
out
of
respect
for
their
time.
D
C
As
shikha
is
sharing
the
slideshow,
I
can
start
off
by
saying
that
integrated
waste
management
provides
solid
waste
collection,
processing
and
disposal
services
to
all
of
san
jose's
residents
and
businesses.
We've
been
a
leader
in
recycling
since
1985
and
san
jose
was
the
first
big
city
in
the
united
states
to
offer
curbside
recyclables
collection.
C
We've
won
various
awards
over
the
years,
which
are
a
testament
to
our
leadership
in
the
field.
An
example
is
the
governor's
environmental
and
economic
leadership
award
and
our
commerce
for
our
commercial,
solid
waste
management
system.
San
jose
has
adopted
the
climate
emergency
resolution
in
2019,
which
prioritizes
efforts
to
become
a
zero-waste
city
and
a
commitment
to
be
a
cleaner
and
greener
san
jose
iwm
division
staff,
oversees
various
contracts
and
agreements
for
the
services
provided
by
various
haulers
and
facilities
locally
in
san
jose.
C
C
C
D
B
C
All
right
and
I
think
you're
you're
on
the
the
right
slide
for
me.
Thank
you
so
much.
Okay,
so
san
jose's,
solid
waste
program
has
evolved
over
the
years.
In
1993,
we
provided
a
residential
multi-container
recycling
system
which
has
changed
to
single
stream
recycling.
In
2002.,
we
developed
a
zero
waste
plan
in
2008
to
guide
san
jose's
waste
management
and
divert
waste
from
landfill
to
be
reused,
recycled
and
reduced.
C
C
These
bands
have
helped
reduce
waste
at
the
front
end,
along
with
other
benefits
like
reduction
in
litter.
We
provided
an
update
to
council
in
2017
to
include
more
strategies
to
achieve
the
zero
waste
goals
and
we're
currently
working
on
updating
our
zero
waste
plan
as
an
element
of
climate,
smart,
san
jose.
C
C
I
still
have
mine
in
2002,
the
city
switched
to
a
commingled
recycling
program
where
residents
no
longer
had
to
sort
their
recyclables,
but
instead
put
them
all
into
one
large
wheeled
cart.
This
made
it
easier
for
residents
to
recycle,
as
well
as
allowing
for
safer
and
more
efficient
collection
by
our
recycling.
Haulers
optional
yard
trimmings
carts
were
also
added
to
the
program
in
2002.
C
However,
most
of
our
yard
trimmings
are
collected
loose
in
the
street,
unlike
some
other
jurisdictions
in
san
jose,
residents
do
not
need
to
separate
food
waste
into
separate
containers
and
instead,
residential
garbage
is
processed
to
remove
food
waste
and
other
organics,
which
is
then
composted
like
commingled
recycling.
This
makes
things
simpler
for
our
residents
and
allows
san
jose
to
divert
more
material
from
landfill
than
if
we
had
a
separate
food
waste
collection
program.
C
C
Ab341
sets
forth
the
requirements
of
the
statewide
mandatory
commercial
recycling
program
and
it
requires
jurisdictions
to
implement
a
commercial,
solid
waste
recycling
program
that
includes
education,
outreach
and
monitoring
of
businesses,
that's
appropriate
for
that
jurisdiction
and
is
designated.
I'm
sorry
designed
to
be
diverting
commercial,
solid
waste
from
businesses.
C
Ab-1826
requires
businesses
to
recycle
their
organic
waste.
On
or
after
april,
first
2016,
depending
on
the
amount
of
waste
that
they
generate
per
week,
this
law
also
requires
that,
on
or
after
january,
1st
2016
local
jurisdictions
across
the
state
implement
an
organic
waste
recycling
program
to
divert
organic
waste
generated
by
businesses,
including
multi-family
residential
dwellings,
that
consist
of
more
than
five
units
in
september
of
2020
cal
recycle
reduced
the
threshold
to
two
cubic
yards
from
four
cubic
yards
of
solid
waste
generated
by
covered
businesses.
C
And
ab341
is
established
a
new
statewide
goal
of
75
recycling
through
source
reduction,
recycling
and
composting
by
2020..
Several
activities
that
count
towards
diversion
under
ab-939
do
not
count
towards
recycling
under
av-341,
including
alternate
daily
cover
and
other
beneficial
reuse.
These
activities
are
instead
defined
as
disposal
related
activities
and
in
san
jose
our
programs.
A
Hi
everyone
thank
you
for
having
me
on
here.
This
is
actually
one
of
the
first
presentations
that
I've
done
regarding
1383,
so
this
will
be
the
first
time,
so
I'm
just
going
to
get
right
into
it.
So,
at
times,
covid
has
created
a
focus
on
what
we
can't
do
and
what
we
can't
control
and,
as
a
result,
it
can
feel
almost
insurmountable
to
implement
sb1383
regulations
by
the
2022
deadline.
A
Today,
I
would
like
to
challenge
each
of
us
to
think
about
what
we
can
do
and
to
see
this
time
as
an
opportunity
to
create
our
future
by
reducing
the
super
pollutant
methane.
We
can
immediately
begin
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
climate
change,
we'll
be
able
to
see
a
positive
change
in
our
lifetime.
Next
slide.
A
There's
no
question
that
the
pandemic
is
unprecedented
and,
along
with
it,
challenges
that
at
times
can
seem
insurmountable.
Each
of
us
have
been
touched
by
the
pandemic
and
many
of
us
know,
friends
or
family
members
that
have
been
impacted
with
so
many
businesses
closed.
It
has
been
incredibly
difficult
to
set
up
new
commercial
recycling
accounts
and,
with
so
many
californians
struggling
financially,
it
has
been
challenging
for
some
jurisdictions
to
implement
new
rates
for
organic
waste
collection.
A
For
some
jurisdictions
that
have
experienced
layoffs,
it
is
seemed
impossible
to
work
on
plans
to
implement
regulations,
but
I
would
like
you
to
take
a
moment
and
think
about
what
positive
what
positives
have
resulted
because
of
the
pandemic.
How
many
of
you
have
done
things
during
this
time
that,
before
you
didn't
have
the
time
to
do
like
hiking
or
camping,
near
a
lake
that
you've
been
dreaming
of
for
years
or
walking
in
your
neighborhoods
just
to
get
out
of
the
house
and
making
dinner
with
your
family?
Because
everyone
is
home
next
slide.
A
Covet
has
forced
us
to
reset
in
our
families,
in
our
workplaces
and
in
the
environment.
We
have
heard
from
scientists
that
pollution
has
significantly
reduced
during
this
time.
As
climate
scientist,
catherine,
hey
ho
recently
said
what
really
matters
is
the
same
for
all
of
us.
It's
the
health
and
safety
of
our
friends,
our
family,
our
loved
ones,
our
community,
our
cities
and
our
count,
our
country,
that's
what
the
coronavirus
threatens
and
that's
exactly
what
climate
change
does
too.
The
coronavirus
is
devastating,
but
failing
to
tackle
climate
change
because
of
the
pandemic
only
compounds
the
tragedy.
A
A
Let's
explore
the
practical
lessons
that
we
can
take
away
from
the
pandemic
and
use
these
as
we
seek
to
tackle
climate
change.
Number
one
is
to
act
early.
The
coronavirus
pandemic
shows
the
crucial
importance
of
early
action
to
prevent
catastrophic
consequences.
The
third
sb1383
rulemaking
started
almost
four
years
ago.
During
that
time,
a
number
of
jurisdictions
have
led
the
way
taken
early
action
and
shown
what
is
possible
in
the
coming
year.
We
need
to
support
the
town
cities
and
the
county
of
santa
clara.
A
We
can't
afford
to
keep
polluting
the
climate
because
we
just
don't
have
because
we
don't
just
have
a
pandemic
of
crisis.
We
have
a
climate
crisis.
Number
two
is
to
go
local.
The
pandemic
has
forced
an
immediate
scale
down
of
how
we
travel
and
live
people
are
for,
are
forging
local
connections,
shopping,
locally,
working
from
home
and
limiting
contention
to
just
what
they
need.
A
This
crisis
has
taught
us
that
we
need
to
build
our
edible
food
recovery
programs
to
use
surplus
edible
food
instead
of
landfilling
it
to
help
us
meet
the
needs
of
the
almost
one
in
five
californians
without
enough
to
eat.
Right
now
we
have
the
opportunity
to
address
food
waste
and
different
sectors
are
coming
up
with
solutions.
A
Senate
bill
1383
is
part
of
california's
larger
strategy
to
combat
climate
change.
This
law
was
designed
to
reduce
the
global
warming
super
pollutants
like
methane,
which
is
up
to
84
times
more
potent
than
carbon
dioxide
to
reduce
methane.
Now
we
have
to
move
away
from
landfilling
organic
waste
like
food
paper
and
yard
waste,
when
organic
materials
break
down
in
the
landfill
methane
is
regenerated
in
california.
Landfills
are
the
third
largest
producer
of
methane
in
our
environment.
A
A
It's
critical
that
we
address
climate
change
now
californians
are
resilient
and
we
have
to
work
together
in
order
to
achieve
these
goals
and
cal.
Recycle
is
your
partner.
We
have
to
bring
the
economy
forward
by
investing
in
green
recycling
manufacturing
when
we
invest.
We
help
raise
all
of
us
up
next
slide.
A
A
A
There
are
many
benefits
if
we
successfully
implement
california's
super
pollutant
reduction
strategy,
including
environmental
benefits
such
as
fighting
climate
change,
improved
air
quality
and
less
land
filled
waste.
If
we
invest
now
in
organic
waste
management
will
lower
health
costs,
two
we'll
also
be
providing
millions
of
meals
to
californians
without
enough
to
eat.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
create
resilience
and
not
waste
food
and
number
three
creating
thousands
of
new
green
jobs.
Investing
in
infrastructure
will
pay
off
in
the
long
term,
but
for
private
companies
to
invest.
A
A
A
Jurisdictions
will
be
required
to
provide
organic
waste
collection
services
to
all
residences
and
businesses.
This
is
what
we
refer
to
as
automatically
providing
service
or
universal
service
in
which
the
resident
or
business
is
automatically
provided
the
service.
Rather
than
subscribing
to
it.
The
regulations
standardized
container
colors
across
the
state
to
be
fully
implemented
by
january
1st
of
2036.
A
And
require
a
jurisdiction
to
place
a
label
on
each
new
container
or
lid,
provided
to
generators
consistent
with
the
container
collection
requirements
starting
january
1st
of
2022.
There
are
contamination.
Monitoring
requirements
of
the
contents
of
the
containers.
Jurisdictions
will
typically
delegate
this
task
to
their
haulers.
A
Jurisdictions
can
issue
three
types
of
waivers
to
the
generators.
These
are
de
minimis
physical
space
and
collection
frequency.
The
department
could
issue
waivers
to
jurisdictions
which
delay
or
exclude
implementation
of
some
of
the
requirements.
These
are
low
population.
Rural
exemption
and
high
elevation
waivers
jurisdictions
are
responsible
to
implement
edible
food
recovery
programs
in
their
communities,
and
this
includes
assessing
capacity
of
existing,
edible
food
recovery,
establishing
an
edible
food
recovery
program
and
expanding
existing
infrastructure.
If.
E
A
Jurisdictions
are
responsible
to
implement
conducting
inspections
of
tier
1,
commercial,
edible
food
generators
and
food
recovery,
organizations
and
services,
beginning
2022,
and
then
inspections
of
tier
2,
beginning
january,
1st,
of
2024,
inspecting
commercial
tier
1
and
tier
2.
Generators
for
compliance
annually
and
providing
education
and
outreach
jurisdictions
must
conduct
annual
education
and
outreach
to
all
generators,
and
this
includes
info
on
methods
for
the
prevention
of
organic
waste
generation,
recycling,
organic
waste
on
site
and
sending
organic
waste
to
community
composting.
A
A
A
Each
jurisdiction
must
plan
for
adequate
capacity
for
recycling
organic
waste
and
edible
food
recovery.
Each
county
will
lead
this
effort
by
coordinating
with
cities.
Special
districts
that
provide
solid
waste
collection
services
and
regional
agencies
located
within
the
county,
cal
recycle
will
provide
a
tool
for
organic
waste
capacity
planning
and
edible
food
recovery.
Capacity
jurisdictions
must
monitor
compliance
and
conduct
enforcement.
Monitoring
and
education
begins
2020
or
january
2022
and
jurisdictions
must
do
an
annual
compliance
review
of
commercial
businesses.
J
A
A
A
A
A
A
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
jurisdictions
are
required
to
monitor
compliance
and
conduct
enforcement
by
january.
1St
2022
jurisdictions
are
required
to
have
an
enforcement
mechanism
or
ordinance
in
place
between
january
2022
and
december
2023.
Jurisdictions
need
to
identify
businesses
in
violation
of
the
regulatory
requirements
and
must
provide
educational
materials
to
those.
B
D
E
D
D
G
I
need
to
unmute
myself
yeah.
I
can
do
that
good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
members
and
guests,
I'm
shikha
gupta
and
senior
environmental
program
manager
esd
with
iwm
division,
thanks
brianna
for
providing
us
a
summary
and
we'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
in
a
little
bit
from
you
of
this
complex
and
comprehensive
requirement.
That
brings
us
here
today.
I
will
take
this
opportunity
to
discuss
where
we
stand
as
a
city
in
complying
with
these
rules
and
what
we
need
to
work
on.
The
san
jose
community
leads
on
climate
change.
G
Climate,
smart,
san,
jose,
adopted
by
the
city
council
in
2018,
lays
out
how
we
are
doing
our
part
to
address
climate
change.
It's
a
community-wide
initiative
to
reduce
air
pollution,
save
water
and
improve
quality
of
life.
We
are
in
the
process
of
folding
in
a
zero-waste
element
with
reference
to
references
to
sb1383.
G
G
The
city
of
san
jose's,
zero
waste
plan
2008
sets
a
goal
of
zero
waste
by
2022,
which
is
defined
as
landfilling,
no
more
than
10
percent
or
recycling
90,
but
current
waste
management
programs
have
many
components
that
help
us
to
get
closer
to
that
goal.
Our
commercial
and
residential
programs
have
been
model
programs
for
many
cities.
We
focus
on
reducing
per
capita
waste
to
landfill,
ease
of
use,
competitive
rates
and
increasing
types
of
materials,
beneficially
reused
for
our
residents
and
businesses.
G
We
are
fortunate
to
have
a
robust
recycling
infrastructure
within
and
close
to
san
jose
that
helps
keep
our
carbon
emissions
low.
We
are
unique
and
have
been
able
to
maximize
on
the
strength.
Many
of
these
facilities
are
among
most
advanced
in
country
and
serve
as
national
benchmarks.
Most
of
these
facilities
serve
other
local
jurisdictions
and
also
provide
employment
for
san
jose
residents.
We
have
five
major
material
recovery
facilities,
mrfs
murphs,
including
a
drier,
anaerobic
digestion,
new
facility
as
well
so
republic
services.
G
G
The
system
in
place
consists
of
four
processing
lines
designed
to
process
400
000
tons
per
year.
This
processing
system
allows
your
public
services
to
sort
through
organics
and
recyclables
to
divert
as
much
material
as
possible
from
the
landfill.
Then
our
zero
waste
energy
development
z-wet
company
is
our
commercial
organics
processing
provider.
G
Ziwig's
dry,
inner
fermentation,
anaerobic
digestion
facility
is
in
san
jose
and
it's
the
first
large-scale
commercial
dry
fermentation
80
technology.
In
the
united
states.
It
produces
clean,
green,
renewable
energy
while
simultaneously
produces
a
feedstock
for
composting.
It
processes
about
90
000
tons
per
year
of
organic
waste.
It
is
able
to
produce
two
types
of
products:
power
in
form
of
electricity
and
materials
that
are
direct
directed
to
composting,
then
green
waste

and
has
a
high

This

G
G
The
city's
residential,
solid
waste
program
is
robust
and
provides
needed
services
to
all
our
residents.
It
provides
services
to
220,
000,
single-family
households
and
115
000,
plus
multi-family
units
and

that

the
single-family

sfds
have
a
three
bin
system:
a
black
garbage
bin,
great
recycle
bin
and
an
optional
green
yard.
Trimming
spin
san
jose
has
a
unique
yard
trimmings
collection
as
losing
the
street
rather
than
in
a
bin.
G
All
material
collected
is
processed
with
sprack,
recyclables
and
or
organics
mfb's
multi-family
dwellings
have
a
similar
setup
of
bins
in
processing.
The
residential
program
provides
year-round,
unlimited
loose
in
the
street
yard
trimmings
collection,
while
some
cities
have
seasonal
lose
in
the
street.
So
since
2008
residential
garbage
is
sorted
by
green
waste
recovery,
murph
to
recover
recyclables
and
organics
food-based
and
compostable
paper,
which
is
composted.
G
This
process
is
also
referred
to
as
back-end
processing
or
mixed-waste
processing.
We
also
provide
unlimited
recycling
collection
and
unlimited
large
item
collection,
junk
pickup
at
no
additional
charge
to
our
residents
collected
by
a
cws
and
green
team.
Our
residential
programs
are
focused
on
education,
ease
of
use
and
low
costs.
G
So
here's
a
schematic
that
focuses
on
the
flow
of
residential,
organic
material
through
our
system
yard
trimmings
are
collected
either
loose
on
the
street
or
in
windows
I
mentioned
before,
but
this
material
is
sorted
at
greenville,
smurf
and
yacht
framing's
line
and
then
sent
over
to
the
best
compost
facility
to
produce
organic
compost
and
landscape
compost.
Since
these
are
clean
yard
trimmings,
we
receive
97
for
the
person
diversion
from
the
landfill.
G
G
These
are
also
taken
to
the
green
waste
mark
on
the
municipal,
solid
waste
line,
that's
track,
recyclables
and
organics
organics
are
then
sent
to
the
best
compost
facility
and
converted
into
compost.
We
received
70
diversion
on
this
material
through
this
process
all
residue.
Basically,
the
material
left
over
after
the
processing
is
sent
to
newbie
island
landfills
operated
by
republic
services.
G
Our
commercial
collection
system
is
set
up
different
than
our
residential
collection
system.
The
commercial
collection
and
processing
is
provided
by
public
services,
who
is
our
exclusive
franchise
hauler
the
organics
are
processed
at
zebra
dry,
our
dry
id
facility.
The
system
is
an
innovative,
wet
dryer
system
where,
as
the
name
indicates,
all
with
material
is
connected
collected
in
a
red,
green
bin
and
all
dry
material
is
collected
in
a
dry
blue
bin.
Wet
material
is
organics
food,
scraps,
food,
soil
paper
products
and
landscape
fillings.
G
G
If
a
business
generates
a
large
amount
of
one
of
the
dry
materials,
glass,
cardboard
or
plastic,
they
can
get
a
customized
or
vibrant
for
improved
recycling,
so
the
businesses
have
an
option
of
getting
any
one
of
the
three
types
of
bins
or
a
combination
of
bins
based
on
the
type
of
waste
they
generate
as
a
business.
So
this
is
called
our
oneplus
bin
system.
Another
system
set
up
for
ease
of
use
for
our
businesses.
G
G
So
just
let's
talk
about
the
organics
flow
in
the
commercial
system.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
all
the
materials
collected
by
the
public
services
and
organics
are
collected
in
the
wet
bin.
The
red
bins
are
then
directly
delivered
to
z-red,
where
they
process
the
material
to
prepare
for
the
anaerobic
digestion
process.
The
ad
process
produces
electricity
that
runs
the
facility
and
digestate,
which
is
then
sent
to
the
best
for
composting.
G
Some
dry
material
is
also
sent
to
zebra
and
goes
through
a
similar
process,
so
this
system
achieves
60
diversion
from
the
landfill.
The
residue
is
sent
to
the
newbie
island
landfill
for
final
disposal.
Seaweed
is
a
commingled
facility
and
serves
other
jurisdictions
as
well.
So
that's
our
complex,
diverse,
multi-faceted,
solid
waste
system.
Our
system
is
set
up
to
capture
all
organics
and
diverted
from
landfill.
Sb1383
requires
the
same
in
a
statewide
effort
to
reduce
emissions
of
short-lived
climate
pollutants
by
reducing
organic
waste
disposal.
G
Our
collection
processing
system
is
just
set
up
to
exactly
do
that,
but
it
comes
with
other
specific
requirements
as
discussed
by
brianna
earlier
and
she'll
continue
on
that.
So
in
the
near
term,
city
is
required
to
adopt
ordinances
on
organic
waste
recovery,
edible
food
recovery,
south
hall
of
organics,
calgarian,
building
standards
and
model
water,
efficient
landscape,
standard
and
administrative
penalties.
G
So
the
city
has
an
organs
in
place
for
calgarian
and
nwelo
requirements.
Now
we
also
have
some
ordinances
in
place
for
organic
waste
recovery
and
penalties.
We
have
to
tweak
them
to
meet
the
standards
set
up
from
set
forth
and
sd
community.
The
staff
needs
to
develop
an
ordinance
for
south
hall
of
organics.
An
edible
food
recovery
program
is
a
new
endeavor
for
the
city.
The
program
needs
to
be
developed
and
an
ordinance
adopted
to
build
and
administer
the
program.
G
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
collection
processing
system
is
in
great
shape
to
meet
the
requirements
of
sb
community
3
regulation,
all
residential
races
back
in
process
for
organics
commercial
organics
are
collected
separately
and
sent
to
an
ed
facility
for
processing.
We
have
a
robust
education
and
outreach
program
for
residential
and
commercial
system.
Esd
communications
division
works
with
iwm
to
provide
outreach
and
education
to
cities
residents
using
various
tactics.
You
may
have
seen
cities
sign
as
a
recycles
website
that
helps
residents
understand
how
to
correctly
recycle
commercial
program.
Education
and
outreach
is
conducted
by
our
caller.
G
The
public
services
through
their
outreach
team
city
staff,
support
and
guide
that
program.
Sb
3983,
require
regulations
require
jurisdictions
to
monitor
contamination
in
the
containers
to
keep
the
organic
stream
clean.
It
can
be
done
either
through
route
reviews
or
waste
evaluations.
Our
agreements
cover
ways
of
monitoring
contaminations
who
are
hollered.
It
may
require
a
more
defined
process
to
meet
the
specifications
of
the
location.
G
G
Another
major
effort
that
city
must
embark
upon
is
meeting
the
procurement
target
that
is
set
by
this
regulation.
Cal
recycles
presentation
covered
these
requirements
earlier.
So
where
do
we
stand
as
a
city
city?
Has
an
environmental,
friendly,
environmentally
preferred
purchasing
policy.
Ep3
that
is
followed
by
department,
doesn't
include
and
is
included
in
the
contracts.
Now
the
policy
needs
to
be
updated
to
align
with
these
new
requirements
based
on
our
current
population
city
is
required
to
procure
an
estimated
83,
500
tons
or
equivalent
of
qualifying
recovered
organic
waste.
G
This
requires
coordination
with
multiple
departments,
finance,
dot.
Pr
s.
Public
works,
san
jose,
clean
energy,
since
many
of
these
departments
use
some
of
these
products
like
compost
and
mulch
regularly.
Iwm
staff
have
shared
these
requirements
of
the
department,
so
they
understand
the
requirements
and
work
on
policy
updates
as
needed.
We
are
also
looking
at
the
current
usage
of
these
products
to
identify
gaps
and
meeting
our
target.
This
will
help
define
the
policy
updates
for
the
city
as
well.
G
Rwm
iwm
has
some
compost
preferred
through
their
hauler
agreement,
so
zee
best
is
required
to
provide
2
000
tons
of
compost
annually
at
no
cost,
but
currently
we
are
not
utilizing
the
entire
amount
each
year.
Also
city
needs
to
have
a
reporting
and
record
keeping
system
in
place
to
manage
all
this
information
as
written
in
the
rules.
G
So
monitoring
and
enforcement
is
a
critical
piece
that
will
be
needed
for
collection
programs.
You
know
edible
food
recovery
programs
and
for
cell
phones.
Edible
food
recovery
program
requires
inspections
in
tier
one,
edible
food
generators
starting
in
2022
and
tier
two
generators
and
twenty-four
the
inspection
program
needs
to
verify.
They
have
arrangements
with
a
food
recovery
organization
and
verify
that
these
food
generators
are
not
intentionally
spoiling
food
that
can
be
recovered.
These
types
of
inspections
will
be
new
for
our
city.
We
will
need
to
plan
resources
to
conduct
these
inspections.
G
G
City
is
required
by
rules
to
maintain
all
the
information
and
implementation
record.
This
graphic
is
a
snapshot
of
items
to
be
kept
in
the
implementation
record.
Many
sections
require
a
minimum
level
of
record
keeping
such
as
ordinances
contracts
and
franchise
agreements.
The
implementation
record
needs
to
be
stored
in
one
central
location.
It
can
be
kept
as
a
physical
or
electronic
record.
It
needs
to
be
accessible
to
cal,
recycled
staff
within
10
business
days.
It
needs
to
be
retained.
G
For
five
years,
the
cal
recycle
staff
may
review
the
implementation
record
as
part
of
an
audit
of
our
program
as
displayed
on
the
slide.
The
record
management
is
very
detailed
and
a
central
data
management
system
for
the
and
requires
a
central
data
management
system
for
the
city.
Each
of
the
categories
listed
in
the
slide
have
more
details
that
need
to
be
managed
in
the
record.
G
This
needs
staff
resources
and
a
data
management
software,
a
centralized
system
for
city
staff
and
potentially
haulers,
who
will
be
maintaining
some
of
these
records
for
us,
edible
food
recovery
program
is
a
component
of
the
regulation
that
is
not
directly
a
waste
management
service.
We,
the
city,
are
responsible
to
implement
edible
food
recovery
programs
in
our
communities.
This
program
is
of
great
benefit
to
our
residents,
who
are
in
need
during
the
current
pandemic.
In
last
year,
city
has
provided
more
than
100
million
meals
to
hasanosi
residents
and
the
rest
of
the
central
para
county.
G
This
requirement
helps
us
stay
on
top
of
the
food
recovery
hierarchy
and
meet
the
needs
of
our
community.
We
need
to
strengthen
our
existing
infrastructure
for
edible
food
recovery.
These
requirements
sets
us
up
to
continue
today's
efforts
to
work
with
our
community
and
provide
needed
meals
while
being
an
environmentally
beneficial
as
a
jurisdiction.
G
Our
required
role
with
edible
food
recovery
includes
assessing
capacity
of
existing
food
recovery,
establishing
food
recovery
program
and
expand
existing
infrastructure,
if
necessary,
inspecting
commercial
generators
for
compliance,
providing
education
and
outreach
to
our
generators.
Even
in
communities
where
existing
infrastructure
already
exists,
there
are
new
record-keeping
and
inspection
tasks
that
will
need
to
be
implemented,
so
the
regulations
have
a
two-year
education
period
january
22
to
december
23,
before
enforcement
with
penalties
for
generators
begins
in
2024.,
since
the
rules
have
been
finalized,
we've
started
engaging
regionally
with
our
cities
and
with
food
recovery
organizations
and
services.
G
City
staff
is
participating
in
countywide
work
group
to
discuss
potential
collaborative
efforts
and
staff
is
waiting
on
additional
county
wide
and
regular
and
regional
information
to
inform
city
council
for
potential
options
for
implementation.
Next
steps
we
san
jose,
are
the
largest
in
the
county
and
have
a
bigger
stake
in
this
program.
Working
regionally
will
provide
more
resources
and
support
to
generators
and
food
recovery
organizations
and
services.
G
So
this
slide
just
represents
the
coordination
esd
staff
have
initiated
with
other
departments
in
the
city
based
on
the
type
of
requirement.
Although
sp
383
includes
solid
waste
management
requirements,
there
are
multiple
parts
to
the
rules
that
apply
to
many
other
services
provided
by
various
departments
in
the
city,
so,
as
discussed
by
cal,
recycle
staff
earlier
implementation
of
1383
is
a
city-wide
effort.
Iwm
staff
have
been
involved
in
the
rulemaking
process
and
have
a
basic
understanding
of
the
rules.
G
Other
departments
expertise
is
needed
in
implementing
certain
sections
like
procurement,
food
recovery
and
data
management.
This
slide
shows
current
coordination
efforts
among
departments
and
ongoing
work
that
is
required
to
meet
the
requirements.
Setting
the
regulation
to
summarize
in
the
near
future
city
needs
to
adopt
required
ordinances
and
updates
schedule
of
fines
prior
to
the
implementation
date
of
january
1
2022.
G
These
will
be
coming
to
council
later
this
year.
Collaboration
among
city
departments
is
the
key
to
successfully
implement
the
programs
and
policies.
Some
additional
resources
are
needed
to
provide
enforcement
of
parts
of
the
regulation
and
reporting
requirements,
as
mentioned
earlier,
city
needs
to
develop
an
edible
food
recovery
program
to
serve
the
residents
in
need
so
the
bag.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
at
this
point.
I
think
I'll
pass
it
back
to
brianna
if
she's
ready,
yeah.
D
A
Yeah
hi,
sorry
about
that.
I
think
that
I
can
continue,
but
we
we'll
see
okay,
okay,
so
to
continue
where
we
left
off.
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
jurisdictions
are
required
to
monitor
compliance
and
conduct
enforcement.
So
by
january,
first
of
2022
jurisdictions
are
required
to
have
an
enforcement
mechanism
or
ordinance
in
place
and
by
or
in
between
january
2022
and
december
of
2023.
A
K
Hey
brianna,
hey:
this
is
kara,
I'm
going
to
just
jump
in
real
quick
to
wrap
up
only
because
of
time,
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
I'm
on
for
the
last
15
minutes
for
any
questions.
Okay,
fine,
if
I
just
jump
jump
on
no
absolutely.
I
think,
because
if
she
got
has
covered
much
of
this
and
what
the
city
is
planning
to
do
so
I
I'd
like
to
kind
of
leave
it
to
questions.
K
But
one
last
thing
I'd
like
to
say
on
jurisdiction:
enforcement
is
that
you
are
able
to
design
your
enforcement
program
and
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
built
into
the
regulations,
and
we
can
talk
more
about
that.
With
respect
to
cal,
recycles
enforcement,
while
cal
recycle
can
start
enforcing
on
jurisdictions
come
january,
1
2022.
K
With
respect
to
city
of
san
jose.
You
have
already
done
so
much
and
are
such
a
leader
in
this
space.
So
the
way
this
would
be
handled
is,
if
cal
recycle
were
to
conduct
a
compliance
evaluation
city
of
san
jose,
because
of
all
that,
you've
already
done.
All
that
you're
planning
to
do
would
not
be
in
our
you
know,
top
of
the
pile
for
receiving
a
compliance
evaluation,
we're
going
to
focus
on
those
jurisdictions
that
have
done
things
like
fully
implemented.
Their
mandatory
commercial
recycling
programs
implemented
their
their
ordinance
and
other
key
programmatic
aspects.
K
So
city
of
san
jose
is
really
positioned.
Well
is
already
doing
so
much
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
to
give
you
assurance,
the
regulations
have
been
designed
to
provide
cal
recycle
with
enforcement
discretion.
What
that
means
is
we
don't
have
to
issue
a
notice
of
violation.
So
if
we
were
to
conduct
an
evaluation
and
if
there
was
some
aspect
of
city
of
san
jose's
program
that
hadn't
been
yet
put
in
place
by
january
1,
we
would
have
discretion
to
not
embark
on
the
enforcement
process.
K
D
E
K
That's
a
great
question,
as
you
can
imagine,
I'm
asked
that
question
by
a
lot
of
city
councils,
so,
unfortunately
the
in
the
legislation
the
legislators
did
put
in
that
this
program
would
not
receive
state
funding
to
jurisdictions
for
staffing.
Some
of
those
internal
programmatic
needs
that
you
have.
There
is
state
funding
for
infrastructure
to
expand
infrastructure.
So,
for
example,
I
think
she
said
you
know
when
you
talk
about
whether
it's
zenker
or
z
web
needing
to
expand
or
make
improvements.
K
You
know
we
do
have
funding
whether
it's
grant
funding
or
low
interest
loan
funding,
and
also
tax
incentives
to
help
fund
that
infrastructure
development,
but
when
it
comes
to
staffing
and
some
of
your
internal
costs,
what
the
legislator
put
in
legislators
put
into
the
legislation
that
again
like
jurisdictions
through
fees
and
assessments,
would
pay
for
the
program
that
way.
So
I'm
sorry
to
be
the
bearer
of
that
news.
H
Thank
you.
I
think
this
question
is
for
kerry,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
totally
understand
for
the
new
requirements
carrie,
it
sounds
like
the
edible
food
recovery
is
the.
Is
that
the
only
thing
we
haven't
done
before,
or
is
there
some
kind
of
compliance
and
enforcement
activity
that
we
haven't
done
before
as
well?
I'm
probably
not
there
yeah.
There
is
what
we
haven't
done.
D
There
is
a
bit
of
additional
enforcement
that
we
need
to
do,
and
and
and
some
things
like,
container,
colors
and
and
labeling,
etc.
But
but
the
big
dollar
things
infrastructure,
wise,
are
are
in
place,
except
for
food
recovery
and
and
given
where
we
are
in
the
world.
Food
recovery
is
such
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
not
only
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
but
also
you
know,
feed
the
folks
in
in
our
community
that
and
that
could
use
that,
and
so
we
think,
timing
wise.
It's.
D
You
know
just
a
fortunate
connection
when,
when
you
know
we're
already
in
the
food
delivery,
business
it'd
be
great.
If
we
could
take
food
that
was
going
to
landfills
anyway,
but
we
don't
know
how
to
do
that
yet,
and
and
and
we're
not
sure
that
the
community
really
wants
the
garbage
and
wastewater
people
delivering
their
food,
but
but
we'll
work
that
out
as
an
administration
care.
Anything
to
add
to
that.
K
Now
I
think
you
nailed
it.
I
think
you
know,
city
of
san
jose
and
the
programs
you
have
in
place.
We
expect
that
there'll
be
little
in
the
way
of
enforcement
needed.
You
know
you
by
providing
automatically
collection
service
to
residential
and
commercial.
That's
a
big
aspect
of
enforcement,
and
I
think
you
know
with
what
kerry
shared
with
edible
food
recovery.
You
know
the
first
two
years
are
really
intended
for
education,
because
this
is
going
to
be
new
for
some
of
the
commercial
edible
food
generators.
K
So
you
know
it's
possible
that
come
2024.
You
may
need
to
use
an
enforcement
tool,
but
I
think
when
it
comes
to
edible
food,
these
commercial
generators
are
going
to
get
on
board.
It's
going
to
help
them
in
reducing
their
trash
costs,
for
example,
is
the
right
thing
to
do
and
I
think
so
I
think
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
positives.
So
I
don't
expect
councilmember
that
there
will
be
a
lot
in
the
way
of
enforcement,
that's
needed,
but
you
will
have
to
have
that
that
ordinance,
just
in
case.
K
K
K
Although
you
do
have
to
be
careful
when
it
comes
to,
you
know,
prop
280
and
making
sure
that
it's
appropriate
and
all
of
that,
but
we
have
examples
out
there.
City
of
l.a
is
the
the
biggest
city
who
has
done
that
has
required
their
franchise
haulers
as
a
part
of
that
franchise
fee.
A
certain
portion
that
goes
to
fund
edible
food
infrastructure
carry
on
and
if
there's
anything
else,
you
want
to
add
to
that.
No.
D
B
L
D
Yeah
councilmember,
I'm
not
familiar
with
it,
but
we
have
been
in
chicka.
You
can
maybe
share.
We've
met
with
second
harvest
and
a
number
of
other
food
delivery
organizations
and
and
we're
trying
to
elicit
what
you
know
their,
how
their
expertise.
Frankly
and-
and
so
we
can
add
that
group
to
our
our
list
of
folks
that
we
we
engage
with,
because
we
really
think
there
is
a
system
in
place
that,
with
just
a
little
bit
of
augmentation,
could
be
really
effective.
D
L
B
B
I'd
also
just
point
to
one
other
great
community
resource,
which
is
a
program
called
waste,
no
food
which
a
teenager
by
the
name
of
karen
shurdhar
started
about
five
or
six
years
ago,
with
an
app
that
would
enable
folks
to
be
able
to
identify
where
large
food
producers
might
be
producing
a
lot
of
food,
that's
not
being
utilized,
and
so
I
know
his
family
and
others
are
have
joined
in
to
expand
that
program
and
I
think
joint
venture
silicon
valley
is
also
doing
something.
So
I
just
think
there's
a
lot
of
partners
here.
B
I
hate
to
think
that
we'd
spend
any
city
extra
city
effort
reinventing
their
wheels.
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can
make
this
happen.
I
guess
the
question
I
had,
though,
is
knowing
that
there
are
folks
out
there
doing
this
good
work
in
hotels
in
convention
centers,
at
that
you
know.
At
the
stadium,
for
example,
at
49er
stadium
other
than
restaurants,
are
there
I
mean
this,
isn't
something
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
like
recycling
household
food.
Are
we
is
this
just
major
commercial
producers.
D
K
E
K
A
range
we
didn't
show
that
the
slide
and-
and
I
think
your
team
can
follow
up-
there's
11
categories.
They
are
hotels
of
a
certain
size.
Oh
there
we
go
we'll
go
back
to
it.
There
are
oh,
no.
I
don't
think
we
have
it
in
this
presentation,
but
there
are
actually
schools
that
have
on-site
food
facilities,
yeah
large
wholesale
food,
vendors,
supermarkets
and
grocery
stores
that
meet
a
certain
size,
health
facilities.
These
are
larger
health
facilities,
so
got
a
big
one.
B
Okay,
great
thank
you
and
then
I
you
know
I
always
kind
of
scratched
my
head
about
the
different
approach
we
have
on
the
commercial
side
versus
the
residential
side,
and
you
know
it.
The
the
wet
and
dry
distinction
seems
to
make
some
sense.
I
know
we
rolled
that
out
after
we
created
the
residential
process
and
karen
I'm
just
wondering
why:
why
don't
we
use
our
yard
waste
bin
for
food
waste?
Why
can't
I
just
dump
food
waste
in
that
and
since
it's
all
going
the
same
place.
D
D
It
could,
but,
but
it
would
be
a
pretty
dramatic
change
for
us,
and
so
as
we
look
forward
for
for
improvements
is
definitely
something
that
we
might
want
to
consider.
I
would
guess
predominantly
in
the
multi-family
sector,
it
might
make
more
sense
and
since
we're
having
challenges
there
anyway,
but
yeah
we're
we're
looking
at
options
to
kind
of
get
the
the
best
out
of
it.
K
C
C
We
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
so
a
little
bit
more
detailed
information
about
our
residential
garbage
and
recycling
services.
I
touched
on
it
earlier
and
shika
touched
on
it
as
well,
but
our
residential
and
garbage
recycling
program
is
one
of
the
largest
privatized,
recycle
or
residential,
solid
waste
programs
in
the
country
serving
all
of
san
jose's
households,
and
we
divert
waste
from
landfills,
which
has
a
positive
impact
on
greenhouse
gases
and
the
climate.
C
Our
innovative
programs
and
pilots
place
us
ahead
of
the
curve
on
many
fronts,
particularly
in
1383,
as
you
just
heard,
and
this
is
achievable
to
our
very
strong
partnerships
with
our
service
providers.
San
jose
has
four
service
providers
that
serve
our
residents.
California,
waste
solutions
collects
and
processes
single
family
recycling
in
districts
a
and
c,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
slide
there
and
garden
city
sanitation
collects
single
family
garbage
in
districts.
C
C
Since
2008
garbage
is
sorted
at
green
waste
to
recover
recyclables
and
organics,
and
it's
composted,
and
this
process
is
also
referred
to
as
back
end
processing
or
mixed
waste
processing,
also
unique
to
san
jose.
We
have
single
family
billing
through
property
tax
billing,
which
eliminates
the
need
for
traditional
bi-monthly
or
monthly
utility
billing
services
and
liens.
C
This
diagram,
I
know,
looks
very
complicated
and
detailed,
but
it
illustrates
the
processes
that
occur
after
residents
set
their
material
out
at
the
curb.
What
it
is
intended
to
illustrate
is
really
that
no
waste
stream
in
san
jose
is
directly
land
filled.
We
process
all
garbage
recycling
and
yard
trimmings
at
facilities
to
recover
material
and
divert
waste
from
landfill,
organics
from
garbage
processing
and
source
separated
yard
trimmings
become
compost,
some
of
which
is
reused
in
san
jose
parks
and
city
facility
landscapes.
C
Next
slide,
the
majority
of
our
single
family
homes
have
32
gallon
garbage
carts
and
96
gallon
recycling
carts,
the
32
gallon
carts
is
are
the
least
expensive
option
and
the
size
of
the
recycling
cart
really
does
not
have
a
price
associated
with
it.
It's
a
service,
that's
included
in
the
garbage,
cart
subscription
level
next
slide
so
from
2015
to
2020.
C
C
recycling
tons
collected
has
been
a
little
bit
more
volatile.
It's
even
declined
in
some
years
as
residents
behavior
has
changed.
On
average
recycling
growth
has
been
slightly
decreasing
so
from
this
chart
you
can
see
the
significant
increase
in
both
garbage
and
recycling
materials
that
we've
experienced
just
in
this
last
year,.
C
The
residential
program
has
experienced
a
lot
of
impacts
from
covid.
The
solid
waste
and
recycling
workers
have
been
deemed
essential.
Stay-At-Home
orders
have
increased
residential
waste
and
decreased
commercial
waste.
We've
seen
a
big
increase
in
single
use,
disposables
like
takeout
containers,
personal
protective
equipment
and
plastic
bags,
and
despite
some
challenges,
our
residential
services
have
continued
uninterrupted.
C
C
C
This
is
a
large
increase
compared
to
the
gradual
two
percent
increase
we've
been
seeing
over
the
last
five
years.
This
is
largely
due
to
residents
disposing
of
more
waste
while
being
at
home
instead
of
being
in
the
office
or
at
school.
Recycling
tons
has
increased
by
17
as
compared
to
the
prior
year.
This
is
a
tremendous
increase
of
materials
in
recycling
carts,
and
these
are
tons
collected
at
the
curb
before
being
sorted.
C
So
recycling
contamination
is
defined
as
items
that
are
not
in
our
program,
they're
not
accepted
in
our
program,
and
it
can
also
be
recyclable
items
that
are
no
longer
recyclable
because
they've
become
dirtied
or
soiled
recycling.
Processing
residue
is
the
material
that's
been
delivered
to
the
service
providers.
C
Material
recovery
facility
for
processing,
but
it
didn't
meet
the
recycling
market
specifications
after
processing
and
was
disposed
of
at
the
landfill
residue
can
also
contain
contaminated
recyclable
material
and
garbage
the
photo
in
the
upper
right
shows
an
overflowing
recycling
cart
and
with
what
appears
to
be
a
bag
of
garbage
at
the
top.
So,
although
many
residents
are
sheltering
in
place
and
disposing
of
more
garbage,
we
have
not
actually
seen
any
increase
in
requests
to
upsize
garbage
carts
in
2020..
C
The
bottom
photo
shows
a
pile
of
residue
after
processing
material
from
recycling
carts
at
a
materials
recovery
facility
through
a
system
of
both
manual
and
automated
processes.
Unfortunately,
we've
seen
a
large
increase
of
about
33
percent
in
recycling
residue
or
contamination
between
2019
and
2020.
C
C
C
And
then
items
that
are
not
accepted
in
the
recycling.
Cart
are
household
garbage
and
food,
soiled
containers,
yard
trimmings,
food
and
liquid
bulky
items
that
could
be
collected
through
our
junk
pickup
program,
household
hazardous
waste
that
could
be
dropped
off
at
no
cost
through
the
counties
program.
C
C
I
I
I
And
so,
if
we
look
at
the
number
of
routes
per
day
and
then
extrapolated
for
the
week,
we
can
see
that
there's
about
240
geographic
areas
in
the
county
from
which
recycles
are
collected
now
later
on.
We
found
out
district
b,
really
only
had
nine
routes
per
day,
which
meant
45
routes
per
week,
so
it
was
235
routes
and
we
adjusted,
but
we
also
had
a
covet
outbreak
towards
the
end
of
of
our
study,
so
we
were
able
to
get
216
samples
instead
of
our
target
of
240.
I
Just
so
you
know
like
we,
we
do
a
lot
of
these
studies,
these
characterization
studies,
and
sometimes
you
know
to
try
to
get
every
route
a
sample
from
a
route
and
sorted
into
different
materials.
We
were
looking
at
five
weeks
of
work,
but
with
covid
and
all
the
extra
precautions
having
to
wear
a
mask
having
to
socially
distance,
you
know
created
a
very
it
was
a
very
difficult
work
environment
and
it,
I
will
say
we
had
a
lot
of
support
from
cws
and
green
waste.
I
They
provided
a
lot
of
support
to
us
and
they
were
very
great
to
work
with
it's
just
that
working
in
those
conditions,
sorting
the
material
you
know,
keeping
true
to
your
to
cleanliness,
protocol
socially
distance.
You
know
keeping
social
distance
and
to
maintain
proper
hygiene.
The
whole
time
was
just
difficult,
so
we
broke
it
up.
We
tried
to
do
no
more
than
two
weeks
at
a
time,
so
you
can
see
you
know
it
was
over
the
course
of
several
weeks,
but
there
were
five
weeks
of
sorting
next
slide.
I
I
Now
one
thing
you'll
see
here:
it's
called
rrfs
and
with
our
contract
with
the
city,
it's
called
rrfs
stands
for
residential
recyclables
for
studies.
These
are
things
that
are
supposed
to
be
in
the
recycling,
cart,
and
you
can
see
for
paper,
plastic,
metal
and
glass.
We
characterize
these
different
recycled
materials
by
sorting
them
through
our
sample
and
deriving
a
weight
for
for
each
one
of
these
non-rrfs
should
be
considered
contamination.
I
So
one
of
the
big
criteria
was
that
material
to
be
counted
as
recyclable
needed
to
be
clean
and
dry,
and
so,
if
we
found
a
large
amount
of
cardboard,
but
it
was
wet
due
to
something
in
the
load,
we
didn't
find
that
as
recyclable,
so
it
was
put
in
the
contaminated
category,
this
non-rrfs
category
some
things
that
we
did
during
the
study.
For
instance,
you
know.
I
I
For
instance,
if
a
jar
of
peanut
butter,
half
full
of
peanut
butter,
we
did
not
scrape
out
the
peanut
butter
instead,
the
container,
in
addition
to
the
peanut
butter
inside
all,
got
put
in
the
other
category
down
on
the
bottom.
There
same
thing:
you
know
for
very
small
materials
under
three
inches
in
all
dimensions.
I
You
know.
Sometimes
you
can
have
a
lot
of
very
small
materials.
They
could
be
plastic
bottle,
caps
mixed
with
coffee
grounds,
mixed
with
some
lottery
tickets
and
some
paper
clips.
It
would
take
you
hours
to
try
to
separate
very
small
materials
and
they
weren't.
We
didn't
think
they
were
necessarily
recyclable,
so
material
that
was
very
small,
broken
pieces
of
glass
would
fit
in
there.
That
was
called.
We
called
those
fines
and
they
were
characterized
as
other
material.
D
I
I
So
the
big
issue
is,
you
know
things,
contaminants,
different
types
of
contamination,
dirty
material
or
things
that
shouldn't
be
placed
in
the
recycling,
cart
at
all,
comprise
51
percent
by
weight
of
residential
curbside
recyclables,
and
just
next
slide
just
to
show
that
in
a
pie
graph
you
could
see.
Just
49
are
things
that
are
should
be
in
recycling.
I
Most
of
it
is
cardboard
mixed
paper
and
recycled
glass
that
comprises
the
biggest
components,
top
three
components
of
the
recycled
materials
in
the
carts.
But
you
can
see
on
this
side.
That's
rust,
colored,
other
materials
being
23
percent
and
then
contaminated
paper
13.
Those
are
the
biggest
contaminants
in
the
the
residential
recycling,
and
I
know
people
often
ask
me
what
is
another
material
I
think
I
covered.
Sometimes
it's
containers
filled
with
food,
but
it
could
also
be
a
you
know:
a
mess
of
different
materials,
sometimes
they're
indistinguishable.
I
Sometimes
we
don't
know
what
they
are
if
we
found
something
like
a
motor
or
a
car
bumper,
those
are
things
we
would
find
in
recycling.
We
would
put
them
in
in
composite
metal,
but
still
it
was
something
that
shouldn't
have
been
in
the
recycling
cart
and
therefore
it
was
classified
as
a
contaminant
next
slide.
I
I
I'm
sorry
b
is
in
green
district
c
is
in
in
yellow,
and
this
is
just
to
look
to
see
if
there
is
a
pattern
that
emerged
from
a
particular
district
of
certain
types
of
contamination,
and
we
can
see
that
there's
a
wide
range
in
these
recycling
samples
that
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
specific
or
highly
indicative
of
a
single
district.
That
contamination
is
something
that's
very
spread
out
across
the
city
next
slide.
I
This
looks
at
the
major
materials
when
we're
talking,
I'm
talking
paper,
plastic,
metal,
glass,
the
recycle
materials,
and
then
this
category
called
non-rrfs,
which
is
also
contamination,
and
so
we
can
see
in
district
a
we
have
a
little
bit
more
contamination
than
the
other
two
districts.
You
can
see
that
that
bar
is
higher,
but
districts
b
and
c
also
have
fairly
high
contamination,
definitely
over
40
percent,
but
district
a
definitely
has
the
highest
percentage.
I
It's
it's
interesting
checking
in
with
the
sorting
crew
every
day
they
thought
tuesdays
and
thursdays
were
typically
the
dirtiest
and
wettest
days,
and
that
did
come
true
in
the
data,
especially
for
district
a
so
you
can
see
that
that
tuesdays
and
thursdays
are
are
the
highest,
have
the
highest
contamination,
but
they
all
have
quite
a
bit
of
contamination.
You
know,
somewhere
around
the
50
percent,
next
slide
district
b,
a
little
bit
less
contamination.
I
C
Great,
thank
you
so
much
stacy
and
scs
engineers
for
conducting
the
study
during
a
particularly
challenging
time
appreciate
your
your
perseverance
and
all
of
that.
So
what
do
all
these
study
results
mean
to
to
us
as
stacy
touched
upon
the
the
different
routes
that
were
sampled
ranged
from
about
600
to
950
households
per
route?
C
It's
estimated
that
our
2020
level,
if
not
for
covid
the
impact,
may
have
been
about
34
and
instead
you
know
we're
seeing
51
percent
so
that
2020
level
that
was
measured
during
covid
is
is
very
significant
and
there
were
not
a
lot
of
other
cities
that
did
studies
this
last
year
because
of
kovid
one
city.
The
city
of
monterey
did
conduct
a
study
in
2020
and
their
recycling
contamination
increased
dramatically
as
well.
By
about
eight
percentage
points,
ours
went
up
closer
to
15
percentage
points
next
slide.
C
So
the
reasons
that
this
impacts
us
is
during
our
contract,
extensions
contract
extension
negotiations
to
address
concerns
about
the
amount
of
non-recyclables
present
in
the
recycling
carts.
One
of
our
deputy
city
managers
and
our
esd
directors
worked
closely
with
our
haulers
to
develop
a
potential
new
recycling
compensation
structure
that
adjusts
the
contractor
payment
based
on
the
amount
of
non-recyclables
present
in
the
material
collected.
C
So
this
compensation
structure
was
presented
to
council
in
2019
and
it
operates
by
the
percentage
of
non-recycle.
As
the
percentage
of
non-recyclables
increases,
the
compensation
increases
and
as
the
percentage
of
non-recyclables
decreases,
the
compensation
would
also
decrease.
The
percentage
of
non-recyclables
collected
would
be
determined
by
a
third-party
consultant
conducted
every
once.
Every
two
years
and
potential
new
compensation
structure
substantially
changes
the
contractual
relationship
between
the
city
and
our
service
providers.
C
With
the
previous
residential
agreements,
the
service
providers
realize
the
benefits
essentially
millions
of
dollars
that
come
in
from
recyclables
revenue
and
and
the
costs.
That's
the
handling
and
disposing
of
non-recyclable
materials
under
the
new
compensation
structure.
The
service
providers
continue
to
retain
the
sales
revenues
related
to
recycling
and
also
receive
additional
compensation
from
ratepayers,
as
the
percentage
of
non-recyclables
collected
increases.
C
So
the
information
from
our
contracts
on
this
slide
show
how
contamination
levels
impact
compensation
to
both
green
team
and
cws,
who
are
our
single
family
and
our
single
family
rates.
So
this
is
based
on
the
outcome
of
single-family
recycling
study
where
our
compensator
contamination
has
increased
approximately
19
and
we
are
projecting
an
8
million
dollar
increase
in
compensation
for
both
green
team
and
cws,
combined,
which
increases
single
family
rates
by
seven
percent.
C
So
we
do
have
tools
in
place
that
help
reduce
contamination
and
recycle
right,
while
also
giving
residents
an
option
to
dispose
of
extra
garbage.
We
really
encourage
upsizing
of
garbage
carts
if
a
resident
is
consistently
experiencing
excess
garbage
and
we
sell
extra
garbage
stickers
for
six
dollars
and
25
cents
at
lucky's
in
safeway.
If
residents
occasionally
have
extra
garbage,
we
have
a
very
robust
and
multi-faceted
outreach
and
marketing
campaign
aimed
at
recycling
right
and
reducing
contamination
and
we're
implementing
a
recycling.
Cart
lid
replacement
pilot
project
on
the
next
slide.
C
So
later
this
month,
we're
going
to
be
launching
a
pilot
to
test
the
effectiveness
of
a
recycling,
cart
lid
with
information
on
items
that
should
and
should
not
be
placed
into
the
recycling
cart.
The
lid
will
have
visual
graphics
and
trilingual
text.
The
pilot
is
funded
and
it
includes
nearly
5
000
households
on
routes
with
moderate
to
high
contamination
levels
in
areas
where
english,
spanish
and
vietnamese
are
the
primary
languages,
and
the
pilot
will
help
measure
whether
this
additional
public
education
piece
helps
lower
recycling
contamination.
C
C
D
And
then
we
heard
about
the
cart
contamination
and
and
and
how
that
is
impacting
rates.
And
so
that
leads
us
to
to
your
direction
in
february,
which
was
to
come
back
and
talk
about
the
options
for,
for
customer
rate,
changes
in
advance
of
the
department
sending
out
prop
218
required
notices
of
rate
increases.
D
Multifamily
is
at
7
all
of
our
bills.
Go
to
the
property
owner
for
single
family.
They
are
billed
on
the
tax
rolls
and
we
build
them
on
the
tax
holes
because
we
made
that
transition.
It
does
wind
up
saving
us
administrative
costs
and
it
avoids.
At
the
time
we
were
sending
out
about
4
000
lean
notices
a
month
to
lean
property
owners
for
failure
to
pay.
So
so
we
get
more
direct
payment
and
it's
a
more
efficient
billing
process.
For
us.
D
One
of
the
questions
we
get
asked
a
lot
and-
and
you
all
were
curious
about
this
in
february-
is,
can
we
do
rate
low
income
rate
assistance
and
unfortunately,
prop
218
does
not
allow
for
that?
Prop
218
requires
us
to
bill
for
the
services
provided
and
have
everyone
pay
their
fair
share.
So
we're
not
allowed
to
do
that
through
the
rate
systems,
but
we
are
allowed
to
use
other
tools
to
offset
some
impacts
and
and
we'll
talk
about
those
in
a
little
bit
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
D
So
so,
why
are
we
at
21
and
7
and
well,
when
we
did
the
new
contract
extending
the
contracts
with
our
haulers?
There
was
a
one-time
adjustment.
Those
new
prices
were
effective
last
year,
and
but
last
year
we
didn't,
we
didn't
increase
rates
as
much
as
we
should
have
because
of
covid.
We
had
no
idea
at
the
time
it
would.
D
So
rather
you
know
when,
when
folks
bid
long-term
15-year
contracts,
they're
trying
to
mitigate
their
risk-
and
so
our
our
caller
partners
were
very
clear
on
the
big
risks
that
mattered
to
them,
and
one
was
that
hey.
If
contamination
recycling
cart
continues
to
go
up,
then
they
have
to
have
more
sorters
they're,
picking
up
more
material.
They
have
higher
landfill
costs
for
the
non-recyclables
and
they
make
less
money
because
there's
less
recyclables
to
market.
D
Our
consultants
are
telling
us
that
the
majority
of
this
increase
is
related
to
covet.
So
if
not
for
covid,
our
contamination
wouldn't
be
this
high,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
calling
it
a
coveted
surcharge
is
necessarily
accurate,
but
if
not
for
covid,
we
wouldn't
have
this
additional
8-ish
percent
increase,
and
then
I
talked
about
the
one-time
offsets
and
then
the
normal
cost
of
living
annual
increases
for
our
haulers.
Many
of
our
haulers
have
contractual
requirements
for
employee
compensation,
and
then
they
have
the
normal
escalation
of
energy
and
landfill
costs,
etc.
D
D
Contamination
multifamily
doesn't
have
the
contamination
component
in
their
contract
and
when
we
were
talking
about
risk
sharing
with
our
haulers
and
contamination
wasn't
as
much
of
a
concern
in
the
multi-family
arena,
but
but
that
that
sector
is
experiencing
high
levels
of
contamination,
and
it
is
something
that
we
are
exploring
and
we
may
need
to
to
do
some
adjustments
in
recognition
of
that,
we
are
coming
up
with
some
other
programmatic
solutions
that
we
think
will
resolve
the
problem
and
we'll
bring
those
to
you
in
the
coming
months.
Next
slide.
D
So
just
for
perspective,
we
are
still
on
the
lower
end
for
for
garbage
collection
and
recycling
services.
So
when
you
look
at
this
rate
comparison,
we
don't
know
how
others
will
increase
rates
and
so
and
we're
still
below
some
other
cities,
but
we're
also
much
farther
ahead
in
terms
of
sp
1383
compliance.
D
So
some
of
these
cities
are
going
to
have
to
make
herculean
efforts
in
the
coming
years
to
get
into
compliance
which
would
translate
into
more
significant
rate
increases
than
we
expect
to
have
because
recall
when
contamination
goes
up,
we
pay
more,
but
we
expect
it
to
go
down
a
year
and
a
half
from
now
when
we
do
the
next
curbside
audit
and
then
those
rates
would
go
down
accordingly
and
so
we're
hoping
it's
just
a
two-year
where
we're
paying
that
additional
contamination
charge.
But
we
our
rates,
are
competitive.
D
So
in
february
you
asked
us
to
explore
some
reductions
and
we
shared
four
buckets
that
that
that
we
thought
made
sense
and
that
you
asked
us
to
continue
to
to
explore
those.
They
were
continuing
to
freeze
staff
positions.
We
have
been
doing
that
since
last
year,
in
the
integrated
waste
management
division,
use,
use
of
o
m
reserves
and
fund
balance
service
reductions
to
residents.
D
D
Our
recommendation
is
that
we
use
fund
balance
and
that
would
reduce
the
increase
by
two
percent,
which
would
get
us
to
19,
which
is
an
increase
of
seven
dollars
and
43
cents
a
month
for
for
single
family,
and
those
rates
will
come
to
you
for
council
consideration
at
the
june
15th
meeting.
So
today
we're
just
talking
about
what
level
of
rate
increase
we
will
notice
to
the
community
and
I'm
sure
the
community
will
have
feedback
on
that.
D
So
so
the
top
one
is
what
we
just
talked
about
that
that
two
percent
and
then
we
also
are
suggesting
that
we
might
dip
into
the
o
m
reserve.
That's
not
something
that
we
normally
do,
that
we
have
a
o
m
reserve
of
14
million
for
this
fund
and
that
is
used
as
a
backstop
against
revenue,
collection
problems
or
sudden
surges
in
emergency
costs.
We
bill
sfd
on
the
property
tax
rules.
D
We
do
not
bill
mfe
multi-family
on
the
property
tax
rule
and
if
there
were
any
sudden
emergency
costs
and
it
could
be
a
little
bit
risky,
the
reserve
is
equal
to
one
month
of
operating
costs.
So
it's
not
a
very
deep
reserve,
but
it
is
consistent
with
how
we
do
our
how
we
budget
for
our
other
utility
funds,
while
it's
not
optimal.
D
We
can't
leave
it
that
low
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
but
we
would
propose
that
we
phase
it
in
over
a
two-year
period,
and
then
that
brings
us
to
in
2023-24,
and
we
are
optimistic
that
the
contamination
levels
would
drop
and
so
that
cushion
would
be
created
by
the
reduction
in,
in
that
30
percent.
Increase
that
we're,
seeing
that
seven,
eight
million
dollar
increase
we're
seeing
because
of
the
contamination
due
to
covid.
D
So
next
slide,
we
are
not
recommending
that
we
continue
to
freeze
vacancies
san
jose
as
our
integrated
waste
management
division,
as
as
with
many
city
operations,
we
are
the
most
leanly
staffed
and
of
of
anyone
that
we
we
benchmarked
with.
We
have
valeria
about
how
many
people
in
the
residential
section.
D
D
We
don't
recommend
limiting
junk
pickup
junk
pickup
has
been
very
popular
throughout
and
throughout
the
city,
and
we
think
that
the
communication
effort
to
reduce
that
would
be
very
significant
and
we
can't
we
can't
move
it
up
and
down.
We
just
can't
our
haulers
have
staffed
up
with
equipment
and
people
to
to
provide
this
service.
D
They've
done
a
great
job
for
us,
as
we've
mentioned
in
the
past,
we're
one
of
the
few
cities
that
still
have
this
service
operating
during
covid
and
and
and
we
think,
they're
doing
a
great
job
and
we
don't
think
we
should
pull
back
on
it.
We
also
believe
that
the
residents
have
the
material
and
it
will
be
more
expensive
to
hire
someone
through
craigslist
or
another
resource
and
we're
not
confident
the
material
will
wind
up
at
the
right
place.
We
do
believe
it
would.
D
Wind
up
in
the
neighborhood,
which
would
then
have
to
be
picked
up
by
the
rapid
team
and
incur
additional
costs
to
to
the
general
fund
and
we've
been
asked:
well
hey
how
many
people
use
this
service
and
and
about
33
percent
of
households
in
the
city,
use
it
and
of
those
33
percent.
45
of
participating.
Households
have
used
it
and
picked
up
more
than
six
items.
D
So
they've
done
more
than
two
or
three
item:
pickups
every
council
district
and
we
have
the
numbers
by
district,
is
over
over
30
percent,
except
for
council
district.
Three
and
council
district
seven
are
at
twenty
nine
percent
and
council
district
five
is
the
highest
user
at
37
percent.
So
we're
seeing
you
know,
really
good
participation,
city-wide
and-
and
you
know,
we
think
it's
a
service
that
should
should
continue
then
should
not
be
pulled
back
on,
and
we
also
think
it
might
be.
D
It
might
have
peaked
a
little
bit
because
you
may
recall
at
the
onset
of
covid,
none
of
the
nonprofits
were
accepting
any
donations,
and
and
people
still
had
things
they
needed
and
wanted
to
move
out
of
their
residence
and
then
the
use
of
federal
funds.
The
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
priorities
for
those
federal
funds,
and-
and
you
know,
our
organization
is
going
to
have
to
decide
where
those
dollars
should
be
spent.
D
Should
they
be
spent
to
offset
residential
garbage
fees
or
should
they
be
offset
through
through
another
resource,
and
so
we're
not
recommending
right
now
that
and
that
we
allocate
those
funds
to
offset
recycle
plus
rate
increases,
but
certainly
looking
forward
to
hearing
your
your
feedback
on
that.
So
next
slide.
D
So
the
rate
notices
will
be
sent
out
in
english,
spanish
and
vietnamese,
a
maximum
rate
increase,
which
again
we
are,
we
are
recommending
at
17
and
and
they
will
go
out
week
of
april
19
and
because
prop
218
requires
them
to
be
delivered
to
property
owners
and
for
property
owners
to
have
45
days
to
protest.
The
rates
and
the
rates
are
set
to
be
heard
on
the
june
15
council
memo
council
meeting,
and
so
with
that
really
quick
rundown
on
rates.
We're
looking
forward
to
your
input
and
feedback
and
questions.
B
Thank
you
carrie
and
thank
you
valerie.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
your
work,
obviously
difficult
decisions
ahead
here
for
all
of
us.
I
know
we
have
several
members
of
the
community
who
are
here.
Why
don't
we
go
to
public
comment?
First,
we'll
allow
everyone
to
speak
for
up
to
two
minutes
on
this
issue,
and
if
you
could
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
would
like
to
be
called
on
on
any
of
these
items
that
we've
discussed
today
just
again
focusing
on
garbage
and
recycling
roland
welcome.
E
E
But
the
problem
they're
facing
is
that
they
want
to
go
to
mars
and
there's
no
way
to
produce
kerosene
on
mars.
So
they've
come
to
the
conclusion
that
they
can
produce
both
oxygen
and
methane
on
mars,
so
they
are
developing
a
new
launch
vehicle
which
you've
probably
seen
exploding
on
a
regular
basis,
they're,
actually
missing.
Explosions.
E
That's
got
a
new
kind
of
engine
that
uses
methane
and
oxygen
for
proper
for
propulsion.
Instead
of
kerosene
right
now
in
texas,
they're
building
a
methane
plant
to
fuel
their
prototypes,
but
they've
also
got
you
the
works,
a
new
launch
vehicle
which
essentially
will
be
a
tanker
that
will
do
refuel
refueling
outside
the
earth
orbit.
You
know
in
space
these
tankers
will
be
able
to
carry
up
to
a
hundred
tons
of
methane
after
shot
and
basically
take
that
methane
out
of
the
earth's
atmosphere,
which
I
think
could
be
a
benefit
our
environment.
E
I
hope
the
san
jose
area
can
look
to
and
want
to
improve
upon
the
interesting
use
of
subsidies
by
east
bay,
community
energy,
the
ebce
at
this
time
as
san
jose
programs
of
garbage
and
recycling,
community,
energy
and
water
will
all
be
questioning
the
use
of
subsidies
in
the
coming
months.
Four
questions
to
consider
as
higher
income
residents
should
be
doing
fairly
well
in
this
era
of
cova
19.
They
can
simply
afford
to
pay
a
higher
rate
at
this
time.
E
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
carrying
your
staff
for
that
very
thorough
presentation,
a
lot
of
data.
I
love
all
the
study
information.
First
question:
the
studies
done
every
other
year
right
in
2018
and
2020
yes,
and
the
contamination
rates
that
we
get
otherwise
are
just
based
on
what
happened.
What's
measured
by
weight
at
the
at
the
sorting
facilities.
So
we
know
what
2019's
contamination
rate
was
without
the
study
right.
D
E
E
E
D
D
You
know,
let's
pay
attention
to
that,
and
and
we
can
go
down
to
neighborhood
levels
if,
if
we
need
to,
but
it
gives
us
a
good
idea
of
what
is
working
and
what
isn't
so
as
we,
you
know,
try
some
things
on
valerie
mentioned
we're
doing
a
cart
study
and
a
cart
lid
study,
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
measure
what's
working
and
what's
not
based
off
of
off
of
the
study.
So
we
think
we'll
have
a
lot
better
data
for
our
communications
to
to
our
residents.
D
E
D
Yes,
we're
doing
we're,
trying
additional
labeling
on
recycling
part
lids,
and
so,
when
you
go
out,
you
know
every
day
or
two
to
empty
your
recycling.
It
kind
of
tells
you
what
is
and
isn't
recyclable,
and
we
want
to
see
if
that
that
sort
of
point
of
disposal
is
is
helpful
to
reminding
residents,
because
it's
been
very
challenging
to
know
if
people
are
hearing
or
seeing
messages
and
we're
communicating.
E
D
E
D
E
Let's
see
so
the
last
I
was
going
to
ask
about
the
federal
the
offset
for
the
covert,
so
it
looks
like
the
covid.
What
we're
calling
the
covert
increase
is
about
a
third
of
the
total
increase
that
we're
seeing
based
on
our
our
your
analysis
of
the
dollar,
the
total
21
increase.
Maybe
a
third
of
it
was
due
to
what
we're
saying
is
covet
increase
and.
E
And
the
contamination
piece
is
one
about
one-third
of
the
total
increase.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
okay
and
the
rest
was
because
we
delayed
some
increases
and
because
of
other
cost
of
living
adjustments
and
things
okay
for
each
one
percent
change
in
the
one
percent
reduction
in
that
increase,
how
much
of
the
federal
relief
funds
would
be
needed.
E
E
Okay,
and
then
I
just
make
a
comment
I
made
before,
which
is
just
that.
I'm
concerned
also
that
this
has
been
a
shift
of
cost
from
employers
to
residents,
as
employers
are
no
longer
really
paying
for
much
driver's
collection.
People
aren't
eating
in
office
cafeterias,
where
there's
a
lot
of
garbage.
Usually
people
aren't
in
the
office
throwing
things
out
there,
and
so
I
suspect,
there's
been
money
saved
by
our
court
by
our
corporate.
You
know
our
employers,
whether
they're,
large
or
small,
and
so
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
that
we'd
be.
E
I
I
like
to
think
that
we
can
do
some
more
to
offset
the
increase
on
our
residential
side
due
to
due
to
the
fact
that
our
employers
are
no
longer
paying.
So
it's
just
kind
of
a
way,
I'm
thinking
about
it
a
little
bit
and
why
I
think
it's
important
to
try
to
assist
people
during
this
time
because
of
the
kind
of
unusual
circumstances
we're
in
terms
of
where
garbage
is
being
collected.
D
E
D
D
D
E
Rates
are
only
from
what's
in
the
recycling
bin,
so
there
were
those
two
numbers
that
are
that
I
was
wondering
about.
One
is
the
amount
of
total
increase
in
volume
and
then
the
other
is
that
contamination
increase
we
got.
The
contamination
number
was
that
total
volume
number
in
there
somewhere
and
I
missed
it.
E
I'd
be
curious
to
know
that,
because
that
kind
of
goes
to
help
substantiate
whether
I'm
right
or
wrong
about
the
offset
being
paid
that
the
customers
are
paying
the
offset
that
businesses
aren't
paying.
Because
I
think
if
we
saw
a
substantial
change
from
one
year
to
the
next,
we
would
know
how
much
of
that
is
due
to
people
being
called.
F
Thanks
mayor
hi
carrie,
thanks
for
the
great
presentation,
a
lot
of
questions
curious,
is
there
anything
we
can
learn
from
the
routes
that
are
down
at
the
low
end
of
the
contamination
spectrum,
and
if
I
saw
the
slide
correctly,
it
was
20
to
40
percent
versus
the
other
end.
I
mean
quite
a
bit
higher
closer,
I
think
60
percent.
So
is
there
any
patterns
or
insights.
D
F
Great
okay-
and
I
guess
relatedly
you
know,
do
you
think,
there's
a
strategy
of
maybe
focusing
on
routes
with
the
highest
contamination
rates
and,
whatever
you
know,
outreach
or
pilot
programs
we're
running
or
larger
can
site?
Would
you
focus
them
on
those
routes
and
how
how
much
should
we
read
into
the
the
different
the
disparities
we're
seeing
across
routes?
I
mean
I'm
assuming
that's
not
some
kind
of
anomaly
is
that
right.
D
Well,
it's
hard
to
say,
because
certain
sectors
of
our
community
have
been
hit
harder
with
unemployment,
and
so
they
may
have
people
home
more
often
and
or
unemployment
or
ability
to
work
from
home
or
their
home
all
the
time.
Other
sectors-
and
you
know
people
are-
are
still
going
out
to
their
place
of
employment
and
so
we're
just
we're
going
to
look
through
it,
a
bunch
of
different
angles
and
see
see
what
we
can
learn
from
it.
And
we
are
uncertain
right
now.
D
If
the
the
biggest
thing
for
for
our
effort
is
to
focus
on
the
highest
contamination
or
on
the
lowest
contamination,
because
maybe
it's
better
to
have
a
cleaner
part
like
get
it
from
50
to
30,
rather
than
from
you
know,
80
to
70,
and
so
so.
We're
gonna
work
with
our
haulers
and
kind
of
toggle,
both
of
those
and
see
which
produces
the
best
and
most
marketable
product.
F
F
D
F
Okay,
so
we
should
be
thinking
about
this
at
the
level
of
the
route
and
the
truck
primarily,
although
the
education
is
obviously
on
a
you
know,
it
has
to
reach
individuals.
Okay,
I
love
the
sticker
idea
by
the
way,
I
think
getting
that
I
was
going
to
suggest
it
and
then
you
had
it
in
your
deck,
but
I
think
that's
great.
F
F
Right,
it's
pretty
large,
probably
to
be
kind
of
across
my
back
or
something
but
yeah.
That's
good!
Okay!
Other
questions
quickly!
Here,
I'm
sure
you've
examined
this.
Is
it
possible
for
the
haulers
to
actually
or
some
other
consultant
to
spot
check,
bins
and
maybe
leave
a
friendly
notice?
I'm
not
necessarily
suggesting
a
a
fine
or
anything
like
that,
but
just
sort
of
a
hey
be
a
good
neighbor.
You
may
not.
You
may
not
know
how
this
works,
but
we've
noticed
your
can
is
not
is
contaminating
the
truck.
D
It's
something
we've
talked
about.
We
do
have
the
authority
to
to
investigate
what
someone
puts
at
the
curb
people
are
very
sensitive,
though,
about
what
is
in
their
heart
and
and
who
knows
about
that,
but
we
have
we
have
contemplated.
Could
we
use
youth
during
the
summer
to
to
sort
of
canvas?
I
mean
it's,
it's
something
that
a
lot.
D
It
doesn't
take
a
lot
of
time
because
it
would
need
to
be
in
the
morning
in
advance
of
the
truck,
and
so
we
we've
talked
about
how
we
might
employ
some
folks
over
the
summer,
whether
it's
just
to
do
door
hangers
on
everyone
or
or
to
you
know,
create
a
quiz.
You
could
look
yourself
or
in
the
most
egregious
areas
if
we
want
to
kind
of
dig
through
their
heart,
but
we
have
heard
stories
from
other
cities
where
people
do
cart,
inspections
and
and
and
it
people
don't
really
like
it.
F
Yeah,
I
can
imagine
that
being
a
little
hairy.
I
could
also
imagine
it
potentially
having
an
impact
and
then,
as
you,
okay,
as
you
think
about
these
various
tactics
and
all
these
pilot
projects,
are
you
able
to
essentially
spend
money
out
of
a
reserve
or
your
budget
against
potential
savings?
If
we
assume
we
can
get
the
contamination
rate
down,
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
how
aggressive
we
can
be
at
spending
on
public
education
and
or
enforcement,
or
whatever
it
might
be,
to
try
to
get
contamination
down.
F
D
We
have
augmented
our
outreach
team
in
the
last
couple
years.
We
did
insource
it
from
the
haulers
because
we
were
confident
and
that
we
could
invest
in
it,
but
also
because
the
public
kind
of
said
they
wanted
to
hear
from
us
and
and
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
doing
a
good
job
or
not.
They.
They
wanted
to
hear
from
us.
F
Yeah,
it
makes
sense,
and
I
totally
understand
you-
you
wouldn't
have
that
answer
for
anything.
You'd
want
to
do
at
scale
yet,
but
it
sounds
like
testing
a
lot
of
different
potential
ideas
would
be
what
we'd
want
to
do,
and
on
that
front
I
think
you
said
to
councilmember
cohen,
that
going
forward
we'll
always
know,
and
is
that
that's
still
every
other
year
that
we
would
know
so
it'd
be
a
24
month
cycle.
Is
there,
have
you
explored
examining
fewer
routes
or
finding
a
way
that
would
still
be?
F
D
F
D
F
Okay,
got
it
sorry,
I
misunderstood
great
okay,
that's
good
to
hear,
and
then
I
want
to
let
my
colleagues
speak.
Let
me
just
one
other
thing
I
did
not.
I
didn't
fully
understand
why
multi-family
is
not
seeing
an
increase.
At
least
you
weren't
project,
presenting
it
as
an
increase
due
to
contamination,
but
it
sounded
like
you
were
seeing
contamination
and
an
increase
in
contamination
at
multifamily.
Did
I
follow
that
and
what's
the
reason.
E
E
The
whole
goal
for
from
here
until
september
is
to
try
and
get
the
right
amount
of
garbage
to
match
up
with
the
right
amount
of
recycling,
because
right
now
we're
on
the
low
end
of
that,
I
think
jerry's
last
number
was
31.2
gallons
per
customer
per
unit.
If
you
will
we're
trying
to
get
that
number
to
32
over
about
3500
units.
So
that's
our
that's
our
task
for
the
summer
and
we
know
we
got
to
get
that
try
and
get
that
done
to
get
that
contamination
lower.
F
J
J
I
realized
that
I
thought
I
was
really
good
at
recycling,
but
clearly
I'm
not
I'm
making
some
mistakes
that
I
shouldn't
be
making
in
recycling
where
you
try
to
be
so
diligent,
but
I
messed
up.
I
even
made
a
video
last
week
for
recycling
and
I
recycled
some
of
the
wrong
things.
So
I
hope
that
gets
edited
out
a
couple
of
things.
Carrie
one
is
you'd
mentioned
that
you
talked
about
this
being
using
covid
as
a
reason
for
raising
rates.
Are
you
go?
D
J
Yeah,
I
would
recommend
that
you
leave
a
generic
and
and
for
lots
of
reasons,
one
to
blame
it
on
covid.
While
that
may
be
a
good
reason,
because
we're
all
more
people
at
home,
kids
are
at
home
everyone's
working
at
home,
creating
more
trash,
we
are
using
having
more
recycled
boxes
going
in
our
trash
or
our
recycle
bins,
but
it
does.
J
J
D
J
D
J
Regarding
you
so
you're
proposing
the
89.16
a
year
annual,
that's
17,
I
think,
but
you
gave
us
three
options
and
or
several
options
and
one
was
lower
than
that
you're
proposing
going
out
notifying
our
our
residents.
That
will
be
more
than
that
that'll
at
the
height
just
in
case.
That's
where
we
end
up.
D
J
What
would
be
the
cost
if
you
increased
the
budget
to
the
council
offices
for
dumpster
days
and
decreased
the
large
item
pickup
in
exchange,
for
that,
would
there
be
a
cost
benefit
if
the
council
districts
were
able
to
have
more
dumpster
days,
because
we
get
large
trash
pickups
at
those
things?
Those
events
as
well.
D
Yep,
we
have
not
done
that
analysis
and
we
moved
to
junk
to
unlimited
junk
pickup.
We
used
to
have
more
dumpster
days
and
we
sunset
that
and
instead
did
more
on
demand
junk
pickup,
because
our
our
outreach
to
the
community
said
people
would
use
it
more.
But
again
that
was
several
years
ago.
One
of
the
challenges
with
the
dumpster
days
is
you
have
to
be
able
to
get
your
stuff
from
your
house
to
where
the
dumpster
is
and
and
not
everyone
is
able
to
do
that.
That's.
J
J
D
Thank
you
so,
and
so
prop
218
doesn't
allow
us
to
charge
some
people
more
than
others,
but
one
of
the
ideas
that
and
the
city
manager's
office
had
is
maybe
there's
a
different
way
to
to
provide
relief
to
folks,
and
we
don't
have
the
answer
to
what
that
would
look
like.
But
you
know
maybe
it's
through
an
existing
housing
program
or
something
we
already
do
where
we
could
just
bolt
something
on
to
an
existing
process.
I
don't
know
if
lee
or
jim
shannon
are
on
and
they
they
have
more.
D
E
J
J
D
E
J
I
really
appreciate
this
presentation.
It's
a
really.
It's
good
information,
I'm
just
really,
and
recycling
and
recycling
right
is
so
important.
So
that's
the
huge
education
component
that
our
residents
and,
frankly
I
didn't
know-
I
was
doing
it
wrong
and
thought
I
was
so
it's
I'm
just
concerned
about
where
water
very
likely
our
water
rates
are
going
up.
We
don't
really
have
control
over
that
very
likely.
J
Utility
rates
are
going
up
very
likely,
and
now
the
garbage
rates
recycling
rates
are
going
up
and
that's
the
one
thing
we
do
have
control
over
so
I'll
I'll.
Just
finish
by
saying:
I'm
very
concerned
that
we're
we
we
may
need
to
do
this,
but
it's
at
the
wrong
time
to
be
increasing
rates
and
anyway,
any
way
we
can
offset
it
or
whole,
and
I
know
we
didn't
do
it
last
year,
carrie.
J
L
L
I
wanted
to
see
kerry
if
you
could
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
the
option
not
to
to
utilize
the
american
republic
recovery
plan
dollars,
even
if
it
was
you
know,
to
just
off,
send
offset
maybe
some
percentage,
not
not
the
full
percentage
increase
and
and
why
we're
not
contemplating
that,
even
if
it
is
just
for
a
short
period
right
for
one
year.
Maybe
we
consider
something
like
that
for
two
years
to
offset
this
increase.
D
E
Yeah
hi
folks,
jim
shannon
city's
budget
director,
so
that's
definitely
one
of
the
options
that
we've
been
considering.
I
think
that
the
one
of
the
things
we've
been
trying
to
think
through
is
if
we
use
the
assuming
that
it's
eligible,
because
we're
not
entirely
sure
exactly.
We
won't
know
until
middle
of
may
what
the
american
recovery
plan
can
really
be
used
for.
E
We
assume
it
will
be
flexible,
but
we're
not
exactly
sure,
but
if
for
the
moment
that
it
could
be
used
to
offset
rates,
it's
it
would
be
a
pretty
broad,
wouldn't
be.
We
necessarily
wouldn't
be
able
to
apply
it.
An
equity
approach
to
it
if
we
use
it
to
offset
rates
for
the
entire
city
and
so
and
it's
a
pretty
large
dollar
amount
potentially,
which
could
also
maybe
potentially
have
an
issue
with
the
rates,
maybe
go
up
even
a
little
bit
higher
in
the
next
year.
E
If
the
contamination
doesn't
come
down,
so
we're
a
little
bit
literally
of
using
too
much
of
one-time
solutions
to
solve
an
ongoing
need,
and
so
we're
sensitive
to
that.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
do
want
to
explore
is
through
a
local
assistance.
You
know
program
kind
of
like
how
we're
tackling
the
rental
relief
through
the
last
local
assistance
cycle
is
using
that
so
for
those
those
customers
who
need
that
local
assistance
can
get
it
through
that
program.
E
L
L
That
may
be
simply
just
passed
through
and
and
we
may
not
necessarily
get
those
individuals
you
know,
they're
gonna
be
paying
that
increase,
that
are
that
are
gonna,
be
out
there
applying
or
qualifying
for
rental
assistance
or
other
other
means.
They're,
just
they're
simply
going
to
take
the
hit,
and-
and
I
think
that
that's
for
me
just
a
reason
as
to
why
I
was
intrigued
in.
L
Could
we
offset
on
a
one-time
basis
and
in
the
presentation
hearing
that
we
do
believe
that
this
is
likely
tied
and
uniquely
tied
to
the
coped
pandemic
and
there's
a
likelihood
that
we'll
see
the
contamination
numbers
go
back
down,
maybe
trending
more
to
where
they
were
even
better?
I
think
because,
as
we
were
trying
to
put
in
some
efforts
to
decrease
contamination,
that's
where
my
head
was
at
as
well.
So
I
was
thinking
sure
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
help
offset
this
on
a
one-time
basis.
L
Now
I
understand
why
you
might
be
more
concerned
and
more
conservative
in
that
regard
to
say:
well,
we
don't
want
to
do
that
and
then
lo
and
behold
that
not
be
the
case,
and
so
for
me,
though,
I
think
that
it.
It
sounds
as
though
that
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
direction,
pointing
us
to
believe
that
that
is
the
case,
and
so
why?
Why?
Wouldn't
you
be
comfortable
that
this
really
would
be?
L
E
E
You
know
a
lot
of
good
uses
for
that
funding
that
that
that
could
be
targeted,
so
you
want
to
be
mindful
of
what
other
uses
may
be
out
there
for
it,
but
but
you're
right
I
mean.
Certainly
if
it's
a
one
time
in
in
nature,
I
think
it's
one
time
nature
for
a
couple
of
years,
though,
so
we
don't
do
a
contamination
study,
I
think
for
another
couple
of
years.
E
That's
what
I'm
learning
here
so
and
I
I
think
I'm
just
sensitive
to-
I
think
we
all
are
sensitive
to
where
the
rates
are
right
now
so
to
if
the
contamination
rate
doesn't
end
up
going
down
substantially.
That
means
the
rate
increases
that
would
be
required
to
maintain
the
level
of
service
would
be
even
higher
potential
in
the
out
year.
So
that's
just
something
that
we
want
to
keep
in
mind,
but
your
point
is
taken.
If
it
is
a
one-time
reduction,
we
think
about
one-time
resources
to
help
solve.
L
E
E
We've
been
pretty
zealous
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
when
we
have
these
essential
services
that
we
have
some
at
least
minimal
amount
of
reserves
in
place
about
two
percent
is
about
2.4
million
dollars
of
that
reserve,
which
I
think
is
only
around
13
million
or
so
or
14
million.
I
can't
remember
exactly
so:
we'd
all
have
to
be
restoring
that
in
future
years,
and
so
that's
not
another
thing
you
need
to
be
mindful
of.
L
Okay,
yeah,
I
guess
I
was
just
pointing
out
that
it
I
mean
I
it
sounds
like
we're.
We
are
sort
of
taking
a
measured
approach
already
and
we
already
are
making
some
of
those
gambles
right
in
regards
to
what
we
believe
may
happen
with
over
the
next
couple
years.
That's
why
I
was
just
going
off
of
that
same
mindset
that
you
know
if,
if
we
are
already
thinking
that
and
we're
taking
that
calculated
risk,
then
for
me
I
was
curious.
L
So
that's
the
questions
I
had
in
that
regard.
Just
another
topic
was
in
the
large
item,
pickup
and
kerry.
Do
we
is
there
an
increase
that
we
pay
more
more?
We
pay.
If
we
were
to
increase
the
usage.
I
think
you
said
it's.
It's
hovering
around
30
average
or
something,
and
so
if,
if
we
had
50
of
the
you
know
the
community
using
that,
would
we
pay
more
or
is
that
just
all
included
in
what
we're
already
paying.
L
Okay,
okay,
yeah,
because
I
was
I
was
going
to
say
if
that
was
not
the
case.
Obviously
I
would
like
to
try
to
increase
that
usage.
I
I
and
I
also
appreciate
the
challenge.
I
think
that
some
people
may
have
on
on
getting
their.
You
know,
sort
of
their
items
out
to
a
a
dumpster
day
site
and
that's
that's
not
necessarily
equivalent.
L
But
I
would
just
really
like
to
see
that,
within
our
outreach
focus-
and
I
and
my
colleagues
ask
questions
about
this-
so
I
won't
talk
about
it,
but
you
know
as
we're
going
out
there
doing
outreach.
I
think
this
should
be
a
major
component
too
I'd
love
to
see
that
increase
and
recognizing
now
that
it
would
cost
some
more.
I
understand
that
I
was,
I
was
going
to
say
if
it
didn't
cost
the
same
way.
Obviously
that
would
be
a
huge
benefit,
but
but
I
still
think
it's.
L
L
Somebody
just
doesn't
know
right
that
that
they
have
the
opportunity
or
even
if
they
do,
then
it's
obviously
somebody
just
doesn't
care
right
and
so
and
I'd
like
to
believe
that
we'd
have
more
people
that
don't
know
than
people
that
don't
care,
and
so
I'd
like
to
try
and
see
how
we,
you
know
how
we
might
get
out
there
and
educate,
and
that
goes
in
line
with
the
education
I'll
just
end
on
that
that
we're
all
guilty.
I
have
been
there
as
well.
L
I
am
also
guilty
of
still
contaminating,
with
the
kind
of
like
that,
the
mail
envelopes
that
you
that
you
that
you
showed
I
I
was
not
aware
that
that
is
not
something
that
you
could
put
in
the
recycling
and
so
much
to
as
councilmember
fully
pointed
out.
I
think
we
all
need
education
and
maybe
continued
education
and
stuff
that
you
know
stickers
or
whatever.
L
Maybe
we
put
on
top
of
the
lids
will
be
extremely
helpful
and
then
clearly
our
part
is
to
try
and
be
you
know,
role,
models
and
good
stewards
to
our
community
members
and
if
and
if
we
are
finding
ourselves
at
fault
and
undereducated
right,
we
can't
expect
our
community
is
going
to
be
doing
any
better.
And
so
I
I
just
all
on
board,
obviously
within
that
that
realm
of
outreach
and
education.
So
thanks
again
for
the
presentation,
that's
it
for
me.
There.
B
D
M
Right
right:
well,
you
know,
and
that's
and
and
I
I
one
I
want
to
just
take
the
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
to
those
haulers
for
doing
that
for
the
rest
of
the
city.
That's
a
sacrifice,
though,
on
a
small
group
of
folks
for
the
greater
good
of
everyone
else,
whether
you
know
whether
we
are
commingling
the
recycling
or
not.
M
I
also
am
very
much
you
know,
and
I've
asked
you
before
about
that
reserve
and
how
we
could
use
it.
You
know
this
is
part
of.
I
think
why
we
have
reserves
for
some.
You
know
unforeseen
circumstances.
This
definitely
unforeseen,
although
that
that
percentage,
that
we
save
now
will
go
back
to
those
to
the
residents
eventually.
M
M
D
E
Well,
I'll
I'll
start
just
to
say
that
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
think
there
is
a
statutory
requirement
by
state
law
about
what
that
figure
has
to
be.
But
it's
it's
just
those
things
that
are
central
city
services.
We
got
to
make
sure
we
have
some
some
stop
gap
behind
it
to
make
sure
that
we
can
continue
those
services.
In
case
something
happens.
So
I
think
what
we're
recommending
to
put
forward
here
is
a
dip
into
that
reserve.
A
little
bit
brings
us.
M
Right,
well,
you
know
if
this
isn't
an
emergency,
I
don't
know
what
is
and-
and
I
you
know,
I
don't
know-
that
we
are
creating
a
risk
for
our
department
as
much
as
we
are
creating
a
benefit
for
our
residents
that
are
in
such
need,
especially
you
know.
We
have
to
take
this
approach
of
making
sure
that
we
save
money
or
decrease
this
rate
increase
for
everyone.
M
But
I
do
think
that
they're,
the
co,
the
covent
money-
and
I
know
that
you
said
jim-
that
you're
not
quite
sure
if
it's
eligible
for
the
rates
for
this
reduction
in
rates
but
you're
exploring
that
that
option,
I
would
you
know
heavily
recommend
for
for
the
the
american
relief
recovery
plan
money
to
to
fund
and
offset
some
of
this
for
our
residents.
This
is
the
kind
of
emergency.
M
M
Obviously
we're
going
to
see
some
impact
for
the
co-mingling
and
they're
going
and
some
some
of
our
residents
are
going
to
see
or
the
haulers
are
going
to
see
that
impact
which
will
translate
into
an
increase
in
the
long
run.
But
I
think
for
now
I
just
really
want
to
just
emphasize
that
this
is
a
this
local
assistance
program,
option
that
you're
all
looking
to.
I
I
really
like
it.
M
I
think
we
should
continue
to
explore
it
and,
and
that
will
help
focus
some
of
that
money
or
that
some
of
that
relief
for
some
of
those
folks.
The
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
is
something
that,
and
I
know,
carrie
we
don't
have
like
the
magic
bullet
here
we
don't
know
exactly
what
is
going
to
work,
but
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
is
education,
and
I
know
that
some
of
my
council
members
and
I'm
going
to
include
myself
as
well.
M
We've
all
done
the
mistake
of
including
something
or
other
in
our
recycling
that
we're
not
proud
of,
and
I'm
gonna
say
for
me
it
was.
It
was
a
diaper
and
I
didn't
do
it.
It
was
my
mother-in-law
and
I
just
saw
it
was.
It
was
like
full
like
a
garbage.
Cart
was
full,
so
she
and
I
was
so
offended
when
I
saw
that
note
in
the
mail.
M
It's
it's
working
even
today,
because
some
of
us
realize
that
there's
you
know
something
that
didn't
belong
somewhere
and
so
so
it
always
works.
And
I
wonder
if
we
could
have
like
an
incentive
program
that
is
connected
with
some
of
those
free
stick.
You
know
providing
maybe
some
free
stickers
that
typically
would
cost
the
five
or
six
dollars
for
the
garbage
bag,
the
additional
garbage
bag.
M
M
Maybe
an
increased
participation
rate
for
those
folks
who
want
some
of
those
stickers
that
are
six
dollars
out
of
your
pocket
anyways
and
that's
my
piece
about
the
the
contamination
and
the
education
and
hopefully,
maybe
there's
something
that
we
can
do
with
either
the
arp
money
or
with
with
your
ongoing
funding.
I
I
do
want
to
caution
and
be
I
I
wouldn't
want
us
to
dip
into
the
general
fund.
For
any
of
this.
I
think
you
know
the
the
reserves
are
there
for
a
reason.
M
D
M
Oh
okay,
well
I
I
would
be
excited
to
hear
about
that
as
well.
I
mean,
I
think,
the
like,
I
said,
take
the
the
education
to
them
and
have
that
live,
replace,
that's
very,
very
helpful,
and
I
think
you
know
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
plans
or
when,
if
maybe
after
the
budget
season,
to
do
more
of
the
education
piece.
What
are
some
of
those
plans
and
what.
D
We
have
we
have
a
pretty
robust
communication
and
outreach
plan
that
we've
been
working
through
in
covid
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
schools
getting
back
back
in
their
normal
status
and
and
participating
with
some
of
those
schools
and
certainly
trying
to
see
where
we
can
bring
some
carrots
to
them
for
participating
and
knowing
that
the
students
will
bring
those
lessons
home.
And
then
you
know,
really
loved
your
ideas
about
having
folks
take
some
training
and
and
get
a
recognition
reward
for
that
as
well.
So
we
have
a
variety
of
things.
D
We
have
our
partnership
with
the
earthquakes
and
the
sharks
and
the
san
jose
giants
when
they
get
all
back
in
the
swing
of
things.
Those
have
proven
to
be
very,
very
beneficial
to
us
as
well,
because
we
kind
of
get
people
in
it
in
a
different
forum,
and
so
you
know,
and
as
some
day
there
will
be
festivals
again
and
and
we'll
go
back
to
to
doing
those.
D
M
Love
that
yes,
I
love
that
I
love
having
an
additional
resource
like
siri
or
alexa,
whoever
it
is
the
the
other
thing
that
I
was
going
to
just
mention.
I
had
forgotten
when
I
was
talking
about
some
of
those
carrots
and
providing
some
of
the
free
stickers
is.
Is
I
don't
know
if
we've
looked
into
making
a
mess
opportunity
for
classes
through
the
community
centers
for
recycling
education?
D
Yeah
we're
we're
partnering
with
the
library.
Oh
there
you
go
and
yeah
they're
they're.
They
they're
kind
of
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
with
us
as
well
we're
partnering
with
the
library,
and
then
we
have
formulated
a
partnership
with
parks
department
as
well
to
see
exactly
that.
Where
we
can,
we
can
find
some
programming
which
helps
them
with
with
their
programming
since
they're,
really
better
at
delivering
the
message
as
they
lead
their
classes.
D
M
M
Hopefully,
we
can
connect
at
some
point
and
create
a
partnership
within
our
districts
and
see
what
we
can
do
together
as
well.
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
But
those
are
my
questions
and
mainly
I
was
just
concerned
about
keeping
those
rates
down
for
families,
making
sure
that
we
had
a
very
specific
targeted
approach
for
for
reductions
in
rates
for
those
families
related
to
maybe
arp
money
that
can
be
used
that
way,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
for
a
very
informative
presentation
and
for
your
work
overall.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
I
carry.
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
team
for
this
presentation.
I
learned
so
much
every
time.
In
fact
I've
been
joking
with
my
husband,
I
know
so
much
more
about
wastewater
and
garbage
than
I
ever
would
have
had.
I
never
become
a
council
member.
So
thank
you
and
I
always
learned
something
I
learned
about
the
number
six
plastic,
not
being
recyclable.
I
did
not
know
that
and
in
fact
I
just
threw
something
out
a
few
days
ago
with
that
number
because
I
went
oh,
it
has
a
number
okay.
H
I
can
throw
it
out
so
now
I
have
to
make
a
a
mental
shift.
I
feel
like.
I
need
one
of
those
stickers,
so
I
want
to
I.
I
think
I
really
liked
the
idea
of
the
video
it
sounded
like
council,
member
foley
did
a
video.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
with
your
in
partnership
with
your
office.
I
love
that
idea.
I
think
it'll
be
great
to
put
on
social
media
videos,
get
way
more
viewing
and
hits
than
than
our
texts
text
posts.
H
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
then
some
comments
way
back
in
slide.
27,
you
talked
about
the
percentage
diversion
for
commercial
and
it
was
60
and
residential
is
70
diversion
and
I
was
wondering
why
it's
lower
for
commercial
and
if
that's
like
way
too
minutia
just
tell
me
like
we
can
take
that
offline.
I'm
happy
to.
D
So
I
can
start,
and
then
jeff
and
chica,
if
you
guys
want
to
add
in
part
of
the
difference,
is
that
the
residential
program
includes
green
waste.
So
it
includes
loose
in
the
street
yard.
Waste
and
most
of
the
commercial
doesn't
include
that,
and
so
that
is
a
volume
of
material
that
that
does
get
handled
through
through
the
residential
system
and.
H
B
E
H
So
I
thought
the
garbage
number,
what
I
put
down
in
my
notes,
and
it
may
not
be
right.
The
garbage
number
for
residential
was
70
and
then
the
commercial
and
I
may
have
misunderstood
the
slide.
The
wet
dry
waste
was
60
diversion
and
I
was
wondering
why
it
was
less
for
commercial
when
it
seemed
like
you
know
they
have
larger
fins
and
it
might.
It
should
be
a
better
one.
It
just
in
my
mind.
G
Well,
we
do
have
a
one
placement
system
where
we
give
the
our
businesses
the
ease
of
getting
only
just
one
bin
as
well.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
contamination
issue
that
we
are
trying
to
resolve
with
our
commercial
program
as
well.
So
a
lot
of
education
needs
to
happen
with
the
businesses
as
well.
H
D
D
Well,
we
we've
had
the
commercial
system
since
2012.,
and
so
we've
kind
of
gone
from
that
20
to
to
60ish
and
we'll
come
back
in
the
next
couple
months
and
and
bring
some
data
on
kind
of
how
to
move
it
up
a
bit
when
businesses
get
back
to
business
and
then
sheik
and
the
team
are
looking
at.
Does
that
one
then
work,
or
should
we
sort
of
require
everyone
to
have
two
and
we're
hesitant
to
add
that
additional
cost
rate
now?
D
H
H
No,
no,
no,
it's
totally.
It's
totally
fine
and
then
the
another
sort
of
nerdy
question
on
slide
43.
When
we
were
talking
about
the
the
contamination
increase,
it
was,
I
think
it
was
called
a
residue
increase.
Was
that
the
same?
Did
it
have
the
same
standards,
because
I
know
the
the
people
who
accept
recycling
the
places
that
accept
recycling
that
has
changed
over
time
were
the
two
numbers
that
were
being
looked
at
were
the
standards
for
acceptance?
The
same
so.
D
H
Okay,
so
did
we
keep
our
when
we
were
comparing
from
2019
to
2020?
Did
we
keep
our
standard
the
same
for
program?
Material?
Yes,
okay.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
are
comparing
apples
to
apples
and
I
didn't
catch
that
in
the
presentation
and
then
in
terms
of
the
there
were
a
lot
of
different
percentage
increases
throughout
the
your
part
of
the
presentation
carry,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I
know
exactly.
H
H
H
D
Statement
we're
looking
for
input,
we're
suggesting
that
we're
comfortable
noticing
seventeen
percent
and
eight
nineteen
percent
means
we
don't
have
to
dip
into
those
reserves
and
what
what
I'm
hearing
from
today's
conversation
is.
A
preference
to
lower
is
better
and
so
17
then
sounds
like
something
counsels
more
in
sync
with
so
that's.
H
H
I
like
the
idea
of
targeting
the
relief
as
much
as
we
can.
I
had
a
couple
of
I'm
not
sure
that
rental
relief
is
the
only
thing
that
we
want
if
we
could
put
it
together
with
something
that
rental
relief
is
the
only
thing,
because
these
are
single
family
rates
that
are
going
up
so
much
and
we
may
have
to
include
people
who
got
mortgage
relief
and
that's
that's
totally
separate.
We
don't
have
non-profit
partners
working
on
that,
because
it's
a
federal
program.
H
So
I
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there,
because
the
single
family
rates
may
be
associated
with
people
who
are
needing
the
mortgage
relief,
and
I
thought
potentially,
the
the
folks
who
qualify
for
utility
programs,
maybe
maybe
better
able
we
may
be
better
able
to
get
everybody
like
the
universe
of
people
who
are
going
to
need
this
relief.
So
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
as
an
idea
and
then
I
I
do
want
to
throw
in
with
everybody
saying
that
they
agree
with
not
limiting
the
junk
pickup.
H
I
completely
agree
with
your
assessment
on
that
carrie
we're
still
doing
the
education
at
every
dumpster
day
about
unlimited
free
junk
pickup.
Please
don't
stop
that.
I
think
it.
It
would
be
really
hard
to
get
folks
who,
who
have
just
learned
about
that.
Frankly,
in
the
last
six
months
of
restarting
dumpster
days,
that
the
free
junk
pickup
has
been
available,
this
whole
time
to
them
to
say
nope
just
kidding
and
then
to
have
to
do
it
again.
H
It
has
been
really
helpful
and
I've
had
a
couple
of
folks
who
who've
come
to
the
dumpster
day
and
said
even
with
a
dumpster,
even
with
the
free
junk
pickup,
they
still
have
things
for
the
dumpster
days.
So
having
a
balance
of
those
is,
I
I
just
think
we
we
would
pay
so
much
more
in
illegal
dumping
costs
if
we
didn't
have
it
that
it
would
just
totally
wipe
out
any
potential
savings
for
for
limiting
that.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
program
and
I
know
the
residents
do
as
well
yeah.
H
I
think
that's
it.
For
my
my
questions
and
comments,
I
am
going
to
text
you
separately
carrie
about
this
envelope
issue
that
councilmember
pearl
has
mentioned,
because
I
think
I
might
be
doing
something
wrong
with
envelopes.
So
clearly,
maybe
maybe
you
should
have
an
individual
session
with
each
of
us,
so
we
know
what
we're
doing
so.
We
can
help
other
folks,
too
sounds
good.
Thank.
B
I
feel
like
I'm
back
at
confession:
okay,
so
carrie.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
all
of
our
sins
and
thanks
to
everybody
for
the
hard
work
you
know.
This
is,
of
course,
a
terrible
time
to
be
raising
rates
and
when
so
many
families
are
struggling,
mildly,
and
I
appreciate
all
that
you're
doing
to
try
to
find
savings
under
every
couch
cushion
to
reduce
the
burden
and
certainly
I'd
support
the
four
percent
reduction
that
you
found.
B
B
D
B
Yeah
to
what
extent,
since
you
know,
every
city,
I'm
sure
is
grappling
with
this
challenge
right
now.
Imagine
there
are
lots
of
smart
folks.
Who've
been
looking
at
behavioral
insights
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
persuade
folks
to
use
the
right
card
at
the
right
time,
and
you
mentioned
folks-
are
sensitive
about
people
looking
at
whatever
they're
disposing,
but
that
seems
to
me
that
sensitivity
could
also
be
used
to
our
collective
advantage.
That
is
to
persuade
folks
to
do
what
is
right.
What
will
save
all
this
money?
I'm
just
wondering
you
know.
B
To
what
extent
have
you
seen
jurisdictions
use
in
messages
like
hey,
you
know
your
neighbors
are
concerned,
they're
paying
too
much
for
recycling
and
would
really
like
to
see
you
not
throw
these
soil
pizza
boxes
away
in
the
recycling
bin.
Or
you
know
your
disposal
of
of
junk
out
on
the
street
is
costing
your
neighbors
money
and
they're
concerned.
You
know
things
like
that.
D
Have
you
know
a
lot
of
upset
residents
feeling
like
we're.
You
know
we
raise
rates
only
to
go
inspect
their
cart
either.
So
we're
trying
to
weigh
that
the
negative
impacts
and
and
my
preference
would
be
to
work
on
the
positive
ideas
and
before
we
pull
out
the
hammer
and-
and
one
of
those
could
be-
you
know
a
larger
garbage
cart
and
then
take
that
opportunity
to
to
sort
of
do
mass
outreach
in
terms
of
hey.
D
Now
that
you
have
the
option
to
have
this
bigger
car
really
be
more
thoughtful
about
what
you
put
in
that
recycle
bin,
and
so
we
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
we're
timing,
it
right
and
and
and
we're
not
there
yet,
and
I
admit
we're
slow
to
get
there.
But
but
we
want
to
digest
the
the
curbside
audit
a
little
bit
more.
D
We
want
to
work
with
our
haulers
a
little
bit
more
and
then
you
know
I
expect
in
the
in
the
coming
months,
we'll
have
some
some
ideas
of
how
to
get
this
back
on
track.
But
I
am
relieved
that
our
consultants
are
saying
hey.
You
would
have
been
at
a
more
normal
contamination
rate
in
single
family
if
people
weren't
isolating
at
home.
B
Right
and
kerry
look.
I
appreciate
you
you're
pulling
out
a
lot
of
different
leverage
to
try
to
find
the
right
one,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
there
are
folks,
you
know
who
study,
behavioral,
insights
for
a
living,
and
I'm
just
wondering
is:
are
there
those
third
parties
out
there
if
it's
a
university
tank,
whatever
that's
publishing,
something
that
we're
able
to
look
at
so
we're
not
just
reinventing
the
wheel
and
trying
to
understand
how
to
move.
D
Yeah
and
we
have
worked
with
the
behavioral
insights
team
on
on
how
we
do
our
messaging,
and
so
that
shaped
how
the
message
gets
out
there
and
and-
and
you
know
we'll
continue
to
to
ramp
that
up-
and
you
know
I'm
I
and
I
know
the
rest
of
our
team
is-
is
hearing
loudly.
You
know
an
interest
in
going
a
little
bit
faster,
a
little
bolder,
and
so
so
you
know
we'll
figure
out
how
to
do
that.
B
B
Thank
you.
I
I
know
that
there's
quite
a
bit
of
skepticism
about
recycling
these
days,
based
on
what
we
are
seeing
in
the
media.
What
we
know
had
been
happening
in
china
and
then
obviously-
and
I
wonder
to
what
extent
there
may
be
some
folks
who
are
simply
not
believers
and-
and
I
guess
the
question
I
would
have
is
to
what
extent
is
their
non-belief
well
informed?
I
mean
for
those
who
say:
hey
recycling
is
a
charade.
This
stuff
is
just
being
dumped
in
a
warehouse
somewhere.
B
D
No
thank
you,
and
that
I
mean
that's
fair.
We
haven't
been
as
as
over
in
our
messaging
about
hey
here's.
What
your
can
becomes,
and
I
do
think
that
that
is,
is
a
motivating
message
and
and
and
and
that
we
can
do
better
with
that.
Here's
why
you
should,
rather
than
hey,
don't
put
these
things
in
the
cart
and
so
so
we'll
definitely
figure
out
how
to
embed
that
more
more
thoughtfully.
B
D
B
I
I
wasn't
actually
saying
I'm
not
sure
it
is
the
best
message
it
may
not
be
because
I
I
don't
pretend
to
know
what
motivates
people,
but
I
guess
the
question
for
me
was:
is
there
a
reason
for
a
lack
of
belief?
You
know
for
the
not
necessarily
for
the
climate
deniers,
but
the
recycling
deniers,
who
say
hey?
This
is
all
all
this
cardboard
is
just
gonna
go
somewhere
and
sit
in
a
warehouse.
It's
not
really
gonna
get
recycled.
D
There's
so
many
things
in
my
head?
No,
I
don't
think
there's
reasons
in
that
to
not
believe
that,
and
you
know
the
part
of
the
challenge
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
the
thin
film
plastics
that
is
not
recyclable
and
not
reusable
and
and
that
can,
if
you,
but
if
you
think
of
the
basics,
that
you
know
the
cardboard
the
newspaper
and
cans
and
bottles,
they
are
being
reused
and
they
are
being
recycled
and
it's
it's
all
the
other
stuff.
That's
in
there.
B
Yeah,
okay,
helpful
to
know
again,
I
I
know
we're
doing
our
best.
Our
partners
are
doing
their
best.
We
just
don't
know
we
don't
have
a
clear
view
of
what
happens
downstream
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
know
you
know:
does
it
really
significantly
boost
recycling
when
people
know
hey?
This
really
is
going
to
get
repurposed
into
some
other
material
that
we
can
all
benefit
from
anyway.
Great.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
hard
work.
