11.1 Review the amendment to the agreement with Los Altos Garbage Companyfor solid • g waste, recyclables and yard trimmings collection franchise agreement regarding rates —Reso# The City Manager referred to the staff report and noted that the Town had an option of absorbing the annual compensation adjustment equal to 80% of the change in the consumer price index for the San Francisco Bay Area or passing it on to the customers of LAGCO. Council agreed that this should be absorbed by the Town. The City Manager further referred to the two changes in the amendment before Council. One reduced the distance charge per 100 feet of driveway to be a flat rate regardless of the number of cans being serviced and the other added an eight yard debris box option for rock, dirt or concrete. Dauber asked if the new debris boxes were being used for recyclable construction materials or trash. The City Manager reported that Bill Jones, General Manager of LAGCO, stated that most of the materials in the debris boxes were segregated and recyclable. Dauber suggested that when this issue is next discussed a two-tier rate be considered which would encourage customers to separate out recyclable materials from contaminated materials. She believed an incentive should be available for those recycling. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Finn and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #17-00 approving and authorizing the amendment of Exhibits F • and G to the agreement between the Town of Los Altos Hills and the Los Altos Garbage Company for solid waste, recyclables and yard trimmings collection franchise agreement. 12.
