Mayor Jones clarified that the Town was going out to bid for the garbage service <br /> franchise in the near future. The cost-of-living adjustment before Council was part of the <br /> current existing contract with the Los Altos Garbage Company. The Town's Solid Waste <br /> Fund had a balance of approximately $30,000 which would absorb the CPI increase of <br /> $27,960. <br /> Vice Mayor Mordo acknowledged that there were advantages to proceeding with the staff <br /> recommendation, however, he wanted to advise everyone if the rates were not adjusted <br /> now, it was most likely that the new contract would have much higher customer rates <br /> than currently in place. The present agreement which ends in 2008, was advantageous to <br /> the Town with limited price increases. <br /> Finance Director Pegueros provided a timeline of the franchise selection process. The <br /> Request for Proposals (RFP) would be mailed to vendors on October, 26, 2007 with the <br /> bid opening scheduled for February 2008.
