WHEREAS, pursuant to state constitutional and statutory authority, the City of Cupertino has the authority to regulate the handling of solid waste within its jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the City enacted and maintains Municipal Code Chapters 6.24 and 9.16, in part, to satisfy solid waste collection and diversion obligations, and other requirements of the California Integrated Waste Management Act AB 939, Assembly Bill 1826, the Sh ort-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill of 2016 SB 1383, and related laws and regulations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 6.24.120 and applicable statutory authority, where the public health, safety, and well- being require it, the City may award an exclusive franchise to any person or entity the City Council believes is qualified to perform solid waste collection service; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that collection of solid waste, which includes garbage, recyclables, and organic waste, is a health, sanitary, and safety measure necessary for the promotion, protection, and preservation of the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City, and the City and its residents benefit from granting an exclusive franchise for same; and
WHEREAS, in 2020 the City entered an exclusive franchise agreement with Recology South Bay d/b/a Recology Cupertino (“Recology”) for collection and processing or recyclable and compostable materials, and the collection of disposal of garbage (the “Existing Franchise Agreement”), the base term of which is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2031; and
WHEREAS, the City does not provide solid waste collection services; rather, it regulates the private solid waste collection industry to protect public health, safety and welfare and ensure compliance with applicable laws; and
WHEREAS, as part of its regulatory role, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 6.24.150, the City reserves the right to establish a maximum schedule of rates and charges for all levels of solid waste collection services to be rendered by the solid waste collector in order to avoid an abuse of the franchise rights granted; and
Resolution No. __________________ Attachment B
WHEREAS, the Existing Franchise Agreement with Recology includes a methodology set forth in Exhibit E.1 to the agreement for determining the maximum schedule of rates and charges for all levels of solid waste collection services for Rate Period Five; and
WHEREAS, the City review ed all aspects of the rate request from Recology using the approved methodology; and
WHEREAS, the solid waste collector is solely responsible for setting and collecting such rates and charges at a level at or below the established maximum schedule; and
WHEREAS, the Resource Recovery Enterprise Fund 520-330 (“Resource Recovery Fund”) is an enterprise fund held by the City whose purpose is to pay for operating costs related to the collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste performed under franchise; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it would be appropriate to make strategic use of amounts in the Resource Recovery Fund in excess of the recommended reserve to smooth and mitigate rate adjustments for the benefit of ratepayers; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby:
1. Acknowledge the foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
