• �( <br /> ECONOMIC AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 09-59 <br /> August 12, 2009 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Michael T. McElroy and City Council <br /> FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager � <br /> Greg C. Crowe, Assistant City Manag� <br /> SUBJECT: 6-Month Residential Recycling Extension with Suburban Disposal <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the 6-month recycling <br /> extension with Suburban Disposal for the City's residential curbside recycling program. <br /> BACKGROUND: The City Council approved a 5 year agreement in 2004 with Suburban Disposal <br /> to provide residential curbside recycling pickup. The current contract is set to expire on September <br /> 30, 2009. The proposal would extend the contract until March 31, 2010. The terms of the original <br /> contract will be extended throughout the 6 months including the nortnal CPI-U adjustment. <br /> Before the end of the extension in March 31, 2010, City staff proposes to submit a Request for <br /> Proposals for Household Recycling Services that will hopefully expand the allowable types of ' <br />' recyclables and encourage a greater rate of households recycling in the City. Given the currently <br /> reduced market for recyclables and the economic downturn, City staff hopes to receive a variety of <br /> proposals to choose from next spring. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objectors. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Corporation Counsel has reviewed the 6-month recycling <br /> extension agreement letter. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Greg C. Crowe at 424-2727 <br /> or at crowe ,decaturil. ov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The normal CPI-U adjustment for the service fee will be <br /> extended through the 6-month extension. It is anticipated the service fee will be reduced because of a <br /> decrease in the CPI-U over the last year. <br />
