EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In July 2009,City Council adopted a Resolution which directed staff to issue a Request for Proposals(RFP)fora Trash Services Pilot District. Within that Resolution, Council directed staff to report to City Council on the outcome of the RFP process no later than December 1,2009. Ongoing contract negotiations regarding an agreement with a Service Provider have caused the City Council to postpone both a planned Public Hearing and the First Reading of enabling legislation to establish a Pilot District. This delay necessitates the rescheduling of Council's review of the proposal. The purpose of this Resolution is to formally postpone staff's report to Council until no later than February 16, 2010. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION In July 2009,City Council directed staff to issue a Request for Proposals to seek qualified Service Providers to provide residential trash and recyclable material collection services within a district within the City. City Council directed staff to report on the outcome of the RFP process no later than December 1, 2009. The RFP process was conducted during September, and interviews with two haulers were held in October. The City then entered into contract negotiations with a Service Provider. Contract negotiations have taken longer than staff expected, making it impossible to complete the necessary public outreach and report the outcome of the process to Council by the deadline set in Resolution 2009-075. This Resolution extends the deadline for reporting the outcome of the RFP process until no later than the regular Council meeting of February 16, 2010. FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial impact to the extension of the deadline. SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS None for the extension of the deadline. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
