ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED ATHENS SERVICES
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT FOR THE COLLECTION OF
SOLID WASTE, RECYCLABLES, YARD WASTE AND
Environmental Management Director Samaniego presented the
staff report and responded to Council questions.
Michael Miller Michael Miller, 735 E. Herring Avenue, stated that the posted
agenda did not -contain a schedule of rates. He was able to obtain a
copy on Monday; however, he was concerned that the infoi&mation
was not available for the public 72 hours in advance of the
meeting.
Mr. Miller referred to a summary report conducted by the
Solid Waste Association of North America that concluded that a
higher rate of diversion was obtainable through a commingled
collection. A variable rate schedule will add another 2 to 4
percentage points. Mixed waste doesn't come close and is not the
way to go. He submitted copies to the City Council and City
Manager.
Mr. Miller also stated that several people at the Solid Waste
Association of North America Symposium last week stated'mixed
waste is more expensive to process and results in lower quality
recovered material. The mixed waste approach gives Athens
control over future rates and variable rates give citizens control.
He requested Council reconsider their action approving the mixed
waste approach.
Royal Brown Royal Brown, 2153 Aroma Drive, said he was appearing for Jean
Arneson. Ms. Arneson had asked several questions in a previous
meeting and has not received answers. He repeated her questions.
Mike Mohajer Mike Mohajer, P.O. Box 992, expressed concern about a couple of
items. The proposed rates will be a 25% increase and that infor-
mation should be shown on the Agenda. The proposed contract
for adoption with Athens indicates that future increases are strictly
the decision of Athens Disposal and is not subject to approval by
the City Council. He suggested the Performance Bond be
equivalent to six months of the contract amount, at least, because
$100,000 is the lowest amount he has ever seen. He objected to
• the contract language wherein it states that if the contractor does
not pick up bulky items within two days, the resident can hire
another carrier at the resident's own expense.
Ferdinand Chan Ferdinand Chan, 3129 E. Virginia Avenue and a member of the
Waste Management/Environmental Quality Commission, spoke in
opposition to the proposed contract and sited rates for other cities.

Council Minutes of 5/18/99
Frank Cannon Frank Cannon, 1106 S. Lark Ellen, spoke in opposition to the con-
tract proposed with Athens. He favored recycling trash at. the
residences rather than sending all of it to the Materials Recovery
Facility.
Gladys Cannon Gladys Cannon, 1106 S. Lark Ellen, requested Council postpone
• the contract for more citizen review time.
Rickie Santell Rickie Santell, 336 S. Barranca Street and Chairman of the Waste
Management/Environmental Quality Commission, stated that the
commission came to the unanimously conclusion that a three -bin
approach with a variable can rate. She related a number of
residents who recycle currently have been looking forward to
having a bin at their home for recycling, rather than having to haul
it to a recycling center. The commission favored a 40-gallon
container. She encouraged Council to take additional time to
review some of the facts.
Michael Stefanko Michael Stefanko, 1539 Larkwood Street, liked the idea of the
variable can rate and recycling at the curb. He wished for
additional time for more citizens to understand the issue.
City Attorney Marlyn responded to questions and comments,
stating, among other things, that
a) Rates were not discussed during the negotiations because
the City Council choose Option No. 1 which included rates
at the March 23, 1999 study session.
b) The performance bond is the same as it has always been.
c) Negotiations did not include items that were not discussed
by Council during the March 23rd study session.
d) The agenda description meets the minimum legal require-
ments of the Brown Act. The inclusion of the rate structure
in this case is more of a policy issue than a legal issue. She
stated that she didn't disagree with the policy arguments
raised by Councilmember Wong.
City Manager Hobbs noted that the City Council has studied this
issue at length, utilized an outside consultant, conducted a study
session with the Waste Management Commission, and has given
direction to staff on a number of occasions. However, if the City
Council is desirous of holding over the item, that can be done.
Motion to hold over failed Motion by Wong and seconded by Howard to hold this matter over
until such time as the public has had an opportunity to study the
proposed rates and agreement with Athens. Discussion followed.
Motion failed 2-3 with Herfert, Melendez, and Touhey voting no.
Recess Mayor Howard recessed the City Council at 9:57 pm. The City
Council reconvened at 10:05 pm with all members present.
Dennis Chiapetta Dennis Chiapetta, Chief Operating Officer of Athens Disposal
• responded to the issues brought up by the citizens and questions of
Council. He clarified that the contract includes an indemnification
clause wherein any fines incurred by West Covina for failing to
meet the 50% diversionary rate would be paid by Athens.
Discussion ensued regarding higher rates for an eight -year contract
versus the lower rates for a fifteen -year contract. Mayor Pro Tem
Melendez said he could support a fifteen -year contract because of
the lower rates. Councilmember Wong expressed concern about

suddenly changing the agreed -upon eight -year contract from the
March 23 study session to a fifteen -year contract without further
negotiations.
Motion regarding contract Motion by Herfert and seconded by Melendez to approve the
amended and restated Franchise Agreement with the change from
• the eight -year contract to a fifteen -year contract with Athens
Disposal. Motion carried 3-2 with Howard and Wong voting no.
City Attorney Marlyn stated that Exhibit A of the BVA
report is the. rate structure for the fifteen -year contract. She
requested a little time to speak with Athens at this point regarding
contract language and suggested the Mayor come back to her after
a few other Council items.
BKK LANDFILL GROUNDWATER REMEDY
Environmental Management Director Samaniego presented the
staff report.
Don Howard Don Howard, representing the Puente Basin Water Master, spoke
in support of the draft letter before Council to send to the U.S.
EPA. Lengthy discussion regarding the difference in the position
taken by the City in October, 1998, and the position currently
stated by the Puente Basin Water Master.
Royal Brown 1 Royal Brown, 2153 Aroma Drive, supported the position initially
taken by the City Council in October, 1998.
Chris Hansen Chris Hansen, BKK Corporation, stated that EPA's Option 3 as
presented in their Statement of Basis dated October 11, 1998 is
silent on the issue of timing. He went on to say that if the
Council's position is to have the perimeter controls put in first and
then offsite looked at next, that particular sequence was not clearly
stated in the City's letter of October 9, 1998 and has not been
clearly communicated to EPA.
Council discussion ensued. Mayor Howard suggested that the first
sentence of the third paragraph in the draft letter be removed.
Motion by Wong and seconded by Melendez to delete the
sentence as suggested by Mayor Howard. Motion carried 3-2 with
Herfert and Touhey voting no.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Mayor Howard recessed the City Council meeting at 11:12 pm to
conduct the Redevelopment Agency meeting. The City Council
reconvened at 11:13 pm with all members present.
Athens Contract Discussion Continued (Item D-1)
Athens Disposal Contract To finalize this matter taken earlier, City Attorney Marlyn stated
that a complete agreement with Athens Disposal Company and the
applicable rate schedule for a fifteen -year contract would be placed
on the Consent Calendar for the June I' Council meeting.
Councilmember Herfert objected to having the matter
agendized again. It was his desire to have wrapped -up the issue
• this evening.
Motion by Herfert and seconded by Wong to reconsider the
action taken earlier. Motion carried 3-2 with Touhey and Howard
