Award of Non - Exclusive Solid Waste Collection Franchise to California Waste Services, LLC June 24, 2008 Page 2 The City's integrated solid waste management program is structured to ensure the health and safety of all residents and business owners. In addition, AB939 requires cities in California to divert 50% of municipal solid waste from the landfill each year. Since this mandate was initiated in 2000, the City has met the statewide requirements in 2004, and 2005. If the City fails to achieve the 50% diversion rate, a fine of up to $10,000 can be imposed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. The City utilizes a non - exclusive franchise system to manage commercial solid waste collection. This system helps the City in its efforts to meet AB939 requirements and also establishes a competitive commercial solid waste collection system for businesses in the City. Additionally, the franchise system stipulates a franchise fee in the amount of 16% of gross monthly paid receipts be paid to the City. These funds are used to fund environmental insurance premiums, maintenance of city infrastructure, and administrative costs tied to managing the franchise system. Article XIII of the City Charter (Granting of Franchises) and Chapter 12.63 of the Municipal Code (Solid Waste Management) establish requirements and procedures to grant a franchise to provide solid waste handling services within the City. There are currently twenty -five solid waste franchisees operating under separate agreements to collect and transport solid waste generated within the City limits. There is no limit on the number of franchises that Council may approve. This policy permits competitive, service- oriented refuse operations. Staff recently received a franchise application from the following solid waste hauling firm: California Waste Services, LLC. The application submitted by California Waste Services, LLC meets the minimum City qualifications per Section 12.63.050 (Application for a Franchise) of the Municipal Code. California Waste Services, LLC was formed in 2005 and is located in Gardena, CA.
