Mr. Tarver explained that there is approximately $250 thousand in revenue anmmlly which would be lost if some program is not instituted that satisfies the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Measure D requirements. This is an inexpensive way of augmenting our system so that it qualifies. There would be no addition of personnel for the program. Ms. Acosta said the central issue is whether or not we have a "curbside" program. Mr. Pico rehted the Visalia refuse ceilection prograxn, which utiliTe5 divided cans, and stated it has a 30% recovery rate. Gary Schwaegerle, 189 W.

Mr. Tarver believed that some comment should be made for the justification of the finding of ovemding considerations, given the extent of the unavoidable significant impacts which are identified in the FiR.
