AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTSANDING WITH THE ORO LOMA SANITARY DISTRICT FOR REFUSE, GREEN WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES IN THE L3 AREA
WHEREAS, the City of San Leandro (“City”) and the Oro Loma Sanitary District (“District”) wish to extend an existing mutual Agreement regarding refuse, recycling, and green waste services within the City, presently provided by the District through its franchise agreement with Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC), by entering into a new Agreement. The District has designated the portion of the City that receives residential, commercial, and industrial refuse, recycling, and green waste services by WMAC as the "L-3" area; and WHEREAS, the City and District desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for the terms of service and the continuation of the franchise fee for the privilege of providing refuse services in the L-3 area; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement will represent the entire and integrated Agreement between the City and District and, except as expressly set forth herein, will supersede all prior negotiations, representations, agreements or approvals, either written or oral; and WHEREAS, State law requires the City to be responsible for establishing and monitoring recycling programs to achieve defined goals for reducing the amount of refuse material that is placed in landfills.
