CITY OF SEBASTOPOL

CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Meeting Date: April 18, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: Larry, McLaughlin, City Manager
Toni Bertolero, Engineering Consultant
Subject: Recology Sonoma Marin Franchise Agreement
Recommendation: Direction to Staff Regarding the Expiring Franchise Agreement with Recology Sonoma Marin
Funding: Currently Budgeted: _______ Yes _______ No ___X___ N/A Account Code/Costs authorized in City Approved Budget (if applicable) __AK______ (verified by Administrative Services Department) INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE:

The item is to request Council direction regarding the Franchise Agreement with Recology Sonoma Marin (“Recology”). The agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

On December 16, 2008 the Council adopted Resolution 5723 and entered into a Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with a local solid waste collection and hauling firm, Redwood Empire Disposal, also known as “The Ratto Group”.

The Agreement covered solid waste, recyclable and compostable materials collection and streetsweeping services.

Subsequently, on September 19, 2017, the Council approved the assignment of the Agreement from Redwood Empire Disposal to Recology. The original Franchise Agreement was effective January 1, 2009 and is set to end by December 31, 2023. A copy of the Agreement can be found in Attachment 1.

The solid waste franchise holder is responsible for environmental compliance with multiple California state laws, most prominently including AB939, AB341, AB1826, and SB1383. These laws work together to decrease landfill waste and increase recovery of materials through recycling and composting. Recology has adhered to these state laws and provides tracking and reporting as well.

DISCUSSION:

The previous Council had indicated an interest in sending out Request for Proposals (RFPs) for a new solid waste franchise agreement. However, given the timing of preparing the RFP, sending to various companies, reviewing the proposals, selecting, and negotiating a contract for implementation by January 1, 2024, staff is requesting direction as to whether this is what the current Council would like to do. We have been informed that the RFP process timeline for both Santa Rosa and Windsor was approximately 15-16 months from the RFP posting date to the contract start date. Ultimately, Windsor selected Sonoma County Resource and Recovery and Santa Rosa selected Recology. Given that the City only has 8 months until the Agreement expires, there is not sufficient time to go through an RFP process.

Other local municipalities have recently entered into extensions or new agreements with Recology:
• Cloverdale, 15-year extension approved August 2022, agreement expires 2040 • Cotati, 5-year extension approved June 2022, agreement expires 2028 Agenda Item Number: 13 Agenda Item Number: 13

• Healdsburg, entered into a new 15-year agreement on January 2021, expires 2035 A list comparing the various hauling rates for nearby agencies is included in Attachment 3.

GOALS:

This action supports the following City Council Goals and General Plan Actions:
• COS 9-13: Continue the citywide recycling program, actively encourage recycling citywide, including the recycling/composting of food waste, and advocate for a regional composting facility. • COS 9-14: Continue efforts to reduce solid waste generation throughout the life of the General Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The Recology Franchise Agreement is Categorically Exempt under CEQA, Section 15308. The City’s action assures the protection of the environment since the Agreement contains several regulatory mandates for complying with state law for the disposal of multiple waste streams in a manner that ensures the protection of the environment.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

As of the writing of this staff report, the City has received five (5) public comments and they can be found in Attachment 2. Staff anticipates receiving additional public comment from interested parties following the publication and distribution of this staff report. Such comments will be provided to the City Council as supplemental materials before or at the meeting. In addition, public comments may be offered during the public comment portion of the agenda item.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to schedule meeting date.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no direct fiscal implications from the requested action on the City. The fiscal impacts to the City for SB 1383 costs are passed along directly to customers receiving service under the requirements of the new regulations. The garbage rates under the City’s Franchise Agreement with Recology Sonoma Marin were modified and approved by Council and became effective on July 1, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Sebastopol City Council discuss the Franchise Agreement with Recology Sonoma Marin, whose term expires on December 31, 2023, and direct staff to work with Recology on a new extension of the Franchise Agreement.

7 F. Contractor fails to provide reasonable assurances of performance as 8 required under Section 11.7.
9 G. Contractor delivers Refuse to a Disposal Site or Compostable Materials 10 to a Composting Facility other than the specific facilities designated by City, 11 unless Contractor receives written notice from City of a permanent change in 12 designated facility, or City has expressly directed Contractor in writing to 13 temporarily transport Refuse or Compostable Materials to an alternate site due to 14 an inability of City designated facility to accept materials. 15 11.2RIGHT TO TERMINATE UPON DEFAULT
16 Upon the occurrence of a Default by Contractor, the City shall have the right to 17 unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon further ten (10) days' prior notice to 18 Contractor without the need for any hearing, suit or legal action. 19 11.3POSSESSION OF PROPERTY UPON TERMINATION
20 In the event of termination following a Default, the City shall have the right to 21 the use of the Contractors land, to take possession of any and all of Contractor's 22 equipment, and other materials used or useful in the Collection and Transportation of 23 Refuse, Recyclable Materials, or Compostable Materials and the billing and collection of 24 fees for these services and to use such property. The City shall have the right to retain 25 the possession and/or use of such property until other suitable arrangements can be made 26 for the provision of Refuse, Recyclable Materials, or Compostable Materials Collection 27 services, which may include the award of an Agreement to another company.

1 11.5 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
2 11.5.1 GENERAL
3 The City finds, and Contractor agrees, that as of the time of the execution 4 of this Agreement, it is impractical, if not impossible, to reasonably ascertain the 5 extent of damages which shall be incurred by City as a result of a breach by 6 Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement. The factors relating to the 7 impracticability of ascertaining damages include, but are not limited to, the fact 8 that (i) substantial damage results to members of the public who are denied 9 services or denied quality or reliable service; (ii) such breaches cause 10 inconvenience, anxiety, frustration, and deprivation of the benefits of the 11 Agreement to individual members of the general public for whose benefit this 12 Agreement exists, in subjective ways and in varying degrees of intensity which 13 are incapable of measurement in precise monetary terms; that (iii) exclusive 14 services might be available at substantially lower costs than alternative services 15 and the monetary loss resulting from denial of services or denial of quality or 16 reliable services is impossible to calculate in precise monetary terms; and (iv) the 17 termination of this Agreement for such breaches, and other remedies are, at best, 18 a means of future correction and not remedies which make the public whole for 19 past breaches.
20 City may reasonably determine the occurrence of events giving rise to 21 liquidated damages through (1) the observation of its own employees or 22 representative, or (2) investigation of customer Complaints. 23 Liquidated damages will only be assessed after Contractor has been given 24 the opportunity but failed to rectify the damages as described in this Agreement. 25 Prior to assessing liquidated damages, City shall give Contractor notice of its 26 intention to do so.The notice will include a brief description of the 27 incident(s)/non-performance. City may review (and receive copies at 28 Contractor's expense) all information in the possession of Contractor relating to 29 incident(s)/non-performance. Contractor may, within ten (10) days after 30 receiving the notice, request a meeting with City. Contractor may present 31 evidence in writing and through testimony of its employees and others relevant to 32 the incident(s)/non-performance. City will provide Contractor with a written 33 explanation of its determination on each incident(s)/non-performance prior to 34 authorizing the assessment of liquidated damages. The decision of whether to 35 assess liquidated damages shall be made by the City Council and shall be final. 36 The Decision to assess liquidated damages and the amount of such 37 assessment shall be made by the City Council and shall be final. Said assessment 38 of liquidated damages shall be reasonably related proportional to the scale of the incident/non-performance
40 11.6 EXCUSE FROM PERFORMANCE
41 The parties shall be excused from performing their respective obligations 42 hereunder in the event they are prevented from so performing by reason of floods, 43 earthquakes, other "acts of God," war, civil insurrection, riots, acts of any government 44 (including judicial action), and other similar catastrophic events which are beyond the City of Sebastopol Collection Services Agreement December 5, 2008 43 Agenda Item Number: 13 Agenda Item Number: 13
City Council Meeting Packet of: April 18, 2023

Page 54 of 89 ends

1 control of and not the fault of the party claiming excuse from performance hereunder. 2 Labor unrest, including but not limited to strike, work stoppage or slowdown, sick-out, 3 picketing, or other concerted job action conducted by Contractor's employees or directed 4 at Contractor is not an excuse from performance and Contractor shall be obligated to 5 continue to provide service notwithstanding the occurrence of any or all of such events. 6 In the case of labor unrest or job action directed at a third party over whom Contractor 7 has no control, the inability of Contractor to make Collections due to the unwillingness 8 or failure of the third party to provide reasonable assurance of the safety of Contractor's 9employees while making Collections or to make reasonable accommodations with 10respect to container placement and point of delivery, time of Collection, or other 11 operating circumstances to minimize any confrontation with pickets or the number of 12 Persons necessary to make Collections shall, to that limited extent, excuse performance 13 and provided further that the foregoing excuse shall be conditioned on Contractor's 14 cooperation in making Collection at different times and in different locations. 15 The party claiming excuse from performance shall, within two (2) days after such 16 party has notice of such cause, give the other party notice of the facts constituting such 17 cause and asserting its claim to excuse under this section. 18 In the event that either party validly exercises its rights under this section, the 19 parties hereby waive any claim against each other for any damages sustained thereby. 20 The partial or complete interruption or discontinuance of Contractor's services 21 caused by one or more of the events described in this article shall not constitute a default 22 by Contractor under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (1) the 23 existence of an excuse from performance will not affect the City's rights under Section 24 10.1; and (2) if Contractor is excused from performing its obligations hereunder for any 25 of the causes listed in this section for a period of thirty (30) days or more, other than as 26 the result of third party labor disputes where service cannot be provided for reasons 27 described earlier in this section, the City shall nevertheless have the right, in its sole 28 discretion, to terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) days' prior notice to 29 Contractor, in which case the provisions of Section 11.3 will apply. 30 11.7RIGHT TO DEMAND ASSURANCES OF PERFORMANCE
31 If Contractor (1) is the subject of any labor unrest including work stoppage or 32 slowdown, sick-out, picketing, or other concerted job action; (2) appears in the 33 reasonable judgment of City to be unable to regularly pay its bills as they become due; or 34 (3) is the subject of a civil or criminal judgment or order for violation of an 35 environmental law, and the City Manager determines in good faith that Contractor's 36 ability to perform under the Agreement has thereby been placed in substantial jeopardy, 37 the City may, at its option and in addition to all other remedies it may have, demand 38 from Contractor reasonable assurances of timely and proper performance of this 39 Agreement, in such form and substance as the City Manager determines in good faith is 40 reasonably necessary in the circumstances to evidence continued ability to perform under 41 the Agreement. If Contractor fails or refuses to provide satisfactory assurances of timely 42 and proper performance in the form and by the date required by City, such failure or 43 refusal shall be an Event of Default for purposes of Section 11.1.

Subject: Waste Management Contract
Hello,
I'm writing today in support of the City of Sebastopol continuing their contract with Recology, our current waste management company. As a California Certified Green Business in the food and beverage industry serving our community, one of my main daily focuses is waste and educating my team and customers. As you can imagine, my business uses a ton of disposable wares and I've made it our mission to cut down on waste and ensure I am making the best purchasing decisions on behalf of my customers while being mindful of the city's goals and ordinances around waste as well.

I have found working with Recology and specifically Ambrosia Thompson, Recology's Waste Zero Specialist, to be vital to not only my business' zero waste goals, but also our entire city. If we lose Recology, we lose Ambrosia who has been working with our community to achieve waste goals for years. Aside from working with Ambrosia, I have found that when I have a need Recology is quick to respond and do a fantastic job of keeping my rubbish area clean as well as our city trash cans. I also appreciate being in the community of Sebastopol, where we share climate goals and eco-friendly values and firmly believe that Recology is helping us - and will continue to help us to achieve them.

Ambrosia has been able to help me educate my team on the proper sorting of our trash, helped me find food service items that are genuinely compostable and meet the city of Sebastopol's strict Zero Waste Food Ware Ordinance. She has provided me with great education around what is actually compostable when it comes to to-go wares. In this day and age, there is so much PLA "plant plastic" being sold, marketed and even manufactured in our County as being commercially compostable when in fact, in Sonoma County, it is not. Ambrosia is out here educating us on all of this. As a small business owner navigating a sea of supplies to choose from, it's super helpful to know I can reach out to Ambrosia when I need guidance to ensure what I'm buying can actually be composted in our county.

In addition to all the education I've gotten from Ambrosia, she has gone above and beyond to help me educate other tenants in my building (of which there are almost 2 dozen people we share the rubbish area with) to make sure they are also sorting trash properly. She has helped me add locks to our dumpsters so outside people are not contaminating them with non-compostable or non-recyclable materials.

As the City of Sebastopol continues to make climate goals like the Climate Action Framework that was unanimously voted to be adopted in July of 2022, it's important to recognize that the choices made when it comes to waste management directly impact that. Continuing to work with companies who have shown us through their actions that they are reputable and reliable is important. Putting the contract out to bid and sacrificing this important relationship with Recology sends a confusing message to the businesses and people in our community. We need to extend our contract with Recology to keep our actions in line with our values.

Thank you,
Danielle & Casey

*LETTER FORWARDED TO AMBROSIA THOMSON FROM SHELLEY BROWN. SHELLEY BROWN ALSO SENT THE LETTER DIRECTLY TO SEBASTOPOL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS*
Dear ,
We are perennial volunteers for Farm Trails, providing a greening program that diverts all the discards produced by the annual Gravenstein Apple Fair held at Ragle Park.

For the past six years that we have been involved, we have appreciated the outstanding support from Recology for the fair’s zero waste goals. In addition to a sponsorship, Recology has supported the fair with in-kind donation of bins and hauling services. Recology Waste Zero Specialist, Ambrosia Thomson, has provided on-site assistance and information during the fair, which has been instrumental in helping to educate vendors and the public about how to achieve zero waste.

During the past fair, attended by about 14,000 people, diversion resulted in a net of about one pick-up truck of true garbage. We could not have accomplished this without our local hauler’s support, and we want to recognize and thank Recology for its commitment to the community.

Sincerely,
Alan Siegle

I am writing to support the renewal of the contract of Recology with the City of Sebastopol.

I am a resident of Burbank Heights and Orchards. Recology has been very supportive of the needs of our lowincome senior community. Ambrosia Thomson has visited our community on many occasions and answers questions from residents very often. She has enthusiastically supported our Zero Waste Program. She has provided our residents with compost buckets and bags for recyclable items. These bags help to deter the practice of putting plastic bags into the recycling containers. Her efforts have significantly reduced the amount of waste going to the landfill from Burbank Heights and Orchards.

Burbank Heights and Orchards has received good service from Recology. Damaged containers are replaced promptly. It is very uncommon for pick-ups to be delayed. The drivers are courteous and friendly. They are mindful of the safety concerns of driving through our senior community.

During the time Recology has been the waste hauler for Sebastopol, the ratio of pounds of total trash to the pounds taken to compost or recycling has dramatically improved. During the tenure of the previous hauler, over 50% of the waste went to the landfill, which amounted to over 7 pounds per person per day. This percentage violated State regulations. According to the most recent data available, the landfill waste per person per day has gone down to about 3.8 pounds per day. Through the efforts of Recology and the citizens of Sebastopol, a remarkable amount of energy has been saved and emissions prevented. What an accomplishment! Of course, it is hoped that working together with Recology, Sebastopol’s waste per person can be lowered even more. I have gained this information as part of my participation in the Zero Waste Working Group of the Climate Action Committee.

I enthusiastically support the renewal of the contract with Recology.

Yours truly,
Judy Morgan

Subject: concern about city seeking new bids for garbage hauling contract CAUTION:This email originated from outside of Recology. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Please forward to the Security Team at [email protected] if you are unsure.

Hi Diana,
I heard that the council is considering seeking new bids for the garbage/ recycle/ compost hauling contract, rather than simply renegotiating and updating the contract with Recology. I am concerned about this and wanted to express how happy I have been with Recology as a resident, educator, and zero waste advocate.

Back in 2016 I was part of a large coalition of environmental and labor organizations that worked together to get cities in the county to choose a new garbage hauler (previously the hauler for most of the region was Ratto). We organized a campaign to ask councils to select a hauler with both high labor and environmental standards, and were very happy when most councils in the county selected Recology.

Recology has been wonderful to work with. I have been coordinating my school's (Orchard View and Apple Blossom) compost and recycling program for 15 years, and have also helped Analy with their program. Since Recology became our hauler, they have been a huge support to both programs: donating supplies and signage, teaching lessons in our classrooms, helping student volunteers organize waste audits and zero waste upgrades, helping reduce waste at school events, helping coordinate edible food recovery programs with schools, and mentoring Sebastopol high school students for the annual SRJC Climate Action Night event.

Recology has also been an amazing partner in the City of Sebastopol's zero waste efforts: providing a Waste Zero specialist to serve on the Zero Waste and Climate Action Committees, assisting the committees with Agenda Item Number: 13 Agenda Item Number: 13

developing Zero Waste policies and event guidelines, and organizing zero waste efforts at events such as the Apple Blossom Festival and Gravenstein Apple Fair.

In addition to the amazing environmental advocacy and support that Recology provides, I am very satisfied with their residential hauling, education, and resources. I also appreciate that they are a great employer in our area. One of the students that I worked with 14 years ago on compost and recycling at my school (back when he was a fifth grader) just got hired as a Waste Zero Specialist with Recology. He is serving as a mentor for Analy students with this year's SRJC Climate Action Night event. It is wonderful that Recology provides living-wage jobs that allow our young people to be able to afford to live and contribute to the community in this area.

I think it would be a huge loss for our community if we were to lose the support and continuity of relationships with Recology, as well as the highquality jobs they provide.

I heard that this idea of soliciting new bids for the garbage hauling contract will be discussed at the April 18th council meeting, and I plan to share these same thoughts at public comment.

Thank you,
Sunny Galbraith

*LETTER FORWARDED TO AMBROSIA THOMSON FROM BRANDON PARKHURST. BRANDON PARKHURST ALSO SENT THE LETTER DIRECTLY TO SEBASTOPOL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS*
Dear Sebastopol City Council,
I would like to voice my support for renewing the garbage and recycling collection contract to Recology Sonoma Marin. I am a local resident and business owner in Sebastopol, which has given me an opportunity to interact with Recology in a variety of contexts.

As are many people here in Sebastopol, I am conscious of our waste footprint and its effect on our planet’s future. I’ve always made an honest attempt at my home and the restaurants I operate to maximize the amount of waste going into compost as a first option, and recycling as a second. Landfill is the bin of last resort.

Recology has done an excellent job of reinforcing this line of thinking with their pricing models and their outreach programs. Not only have they been responsive to our questions about compostable and recyclable products, but they’ve been proactive about making sure we’re handling our waste properly and effectively.

Garbage collection is an often overlooked utility – a vital resource in managing our landscape, both in our cities where waste is removed from, and in the spaces the waste is transferred to. Partnering with a waste management company that aligns with our values, those of minimal permanent landfill solutions, and maximizing natural compost, reusability and recycling, is key to ensuring a better future for our city and its children.

Please vote to renew Recology as our waste management partner.

Sincerely,
Brandon Parkhurst
