Recommendation for Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center Facility Operator.
Staff contact: Brian Ponty, Director of Finance and Financial Planning 780-7048 bponty@redwoodcity.org
Recommendation:
Alternative 1:
Provide Redwood City’s Board representative with direction on how to vote on this matter at the April 23, 2009 South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) Board meeting, including how to respond in the event of the Board becomes “deadlocked” in this matter.
Alternative 2:
Staff recommends that the City Council direct the Redwood City’s Board representative to vote to accept the selection committee’s recommendation and begin negotiating an agreement with South Bay Recycling, LLC (SBR) for the operation of the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center (SRDC).
Council may also, as an element of this alternative, direct the City’s Board representative to request that the SBWMA allow SBR to recover the additional costs associated with the sorters being covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
