MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Narum to adopt and waive second reading of Ordinance No. 2175 to amend the contract between the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) and the City of Pleasanton to include Section 20516 (Employees' Sharing Additional Cost) of an additional 1.5% for Classic CaIPERS Local Police Members of the City of Pleasanton. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Pentin, Olson, Mayor Thorne Noes: None Absent: None 17. Consider adoption of a resolution approving a Franchise Agreement with Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. for solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic material services and a resolution approving a Rate Reserve Agreement with Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. Brian Dolan, Assistant City Manager, presented the item which includes a proposal for two agreements. The first is memorialized by a resolution approving the franchise agreement with Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. (PGS) and the second is a smaller rate-reserve agreement, which came about as part of contract negotiations as related to the operating reserve surplus. He commented the City has worked with the contractor since the 1970's, over which time regulations and requirements have evolved, with greater expectation of services by rate-payers and residents. The goals for the new franchise agreement included having a state-of-the-art service model, reduce collection rates, transfer risks for unexpected operating costs from the rate payer back to the provider, increase city's franchise fee, switch to cost-based to index-based model, eliminate cost-carryovers, increase transparency of related-party financial interactions, and a reasonable franchise term.
