Councilmember Posey confirmed with Mayor Peterson that this is the "future date for more facts" as referenced in the minutes from a previous update. A motion was made by Posey, second Delgleize , to continue the item for 4 weeks to allow staff time to present the facts concerning where they are in the negotiation process so that a decision is based on the facts. Discussion ensued. Mayor Peterson clarified that Rainbow/Republic has not offered up anything during negotiations, and stated that he believes that just giving notice is the most prudent thing to do at this time . Councilmember Carr asked for clarification on whether this is a 15-year or 18-year contract. Mayor Peterson explained that it is a 15-year contract, however a Notice of Termination would not be effective for 18 years, and Rainbow/Republic can approach the City at any time during the next 18 years to re- negotiate the contract, or wait 18 years to re -negotiate. In response to Councilmember Carr's question about acquiring other bids for the service , Mayor Peterson replied that other bids could be acquired but only for purposes of information because the City is obligated to the current contract for 18 years after intent to terminate is presented. Councilmember Delgleize stated that she is not aware that there was ever a report from the Ad Hoc Committee that was looking at this issue , and that is the process she would expect to follow. Councilmember Brenden asked for history behind the current contract; what conditions might be different in the refuse business today which makes the Evergeen Contract not so attractive; and, could revocation of the contract result in a reduced level of service? He further stated that in his opinion having more background information and answers to his questions is necessary before the Council considers a Notice of Termination. Council/PFA Regular Minutes April 1, 2019 Page 10of12 Councilmember Delgleize explained that back in 2008 Rainbow was planning to make big, long-term investments to update machines and their facility to meet the demands of the growing recycle market (which hardly exists today), and groundwater replenishment programs did not exist back then . She stated her support for a review of the Evergreen Contract and presentation of facts. Mayor Peterson explained that the Finance Commission years ago supported a long-term contract to ensure that Rainbow had time to recoup their costs; however, the Commission did not recommend the Evergreen Contract. There was also concern about the damage to the alleys and streets accessed by three refuse trucks each week. Mayor Peterson reminded Council that Rainbow was a family-owned business when the City approved the Evergreen Contract, and stated his opinion that going out for a bid resulting in a purchase by Republic should have allowed City to re-negotiate the contract with the new owners. Councilmember Hardy stated that a lot has changed in the last decade, and if the Council decides to terminate the Evergreen Contract it does not mean the end of doing business with Rainbow/Republic, but it should mean going out to bid periodically . She added that long-term contracts are not unusual for this industry, and suggested a compromise substitute motion asking staff to prepare the termination letter as well as a report on the status of negotiations be set for the first meeting in May. In her opinion , taking this action will provide an opportunity for the sitting Council 18 years from now to decide how to proceed . Councilmember Posey stated that an Evergreen Contract is not necessarily all bad, as it can offer protection to both the company and the residents . He further stated he is interested in having a staff report that details the negotiation progress so a decision is made based on facts . Councilmember Brenden clarified that at the May 6 meeting Council could ask for even further details or clarification before voting on the Notice of Termination . A substitute motion was made by Peterson, second Semeta , to direct the City Manager to prepare a letter of written notification to Republic Services of the City's intent to terminate the current franchise agreement pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and present that termination letter to the City Council for approval at the next-scheduled City Council meeting, as amended to return on May 6 with written letter of termination and a detailed report that includes differences in process/programs (then and now), future of recyclable material, how the cancellation clause affects residents, and status of current negotiations. The substitute motion carried by the following vote: AYES: NOES: Brenden, Carr, Semeta , Peterson, Posey, Delgleize , and Hardy None COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS (Not Agendized) Councilmember Hardy reported attending the STEAM Expo at Marina High School and thanked everyone responsible for putting on this exciting event for students throughout the City; the Creative Visions - A Display of Visual and Performing Arts Created by Students, Public Opening Reception; she thanked Fire Chief Segura and the Jr. Lifeguards for assisting with her last-minute CPR training so she could take students to the HB Reads author presentation ; and provided a tour of City Hall for a group of Marina High School Japanese exchange students .
