8.A. - Page 2 <br /> to property owners and ratepayers, posted the Notice of Public Hearing at official <br /> posting sites and published it in the local newspaper. <br /> New for 2015 will be the City's participation in the SBWMA collection program of <br /> Household Hazardous Waste from single and multi - family residents at no cost to the <br /> residents. The program costs for 2015 will be paid using funds from the City's Trash <br /> Rate Stabilization Fund. The City Council approved participation in this program at its <br /> meeting of September 22, 2014, Resolution Number 15369. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may elect not to approve this proposed increase to the Special Service <br /> Requests rates but in doing so may create the need for the City to subsidize payments <br /> for these services in order to comply with the terms of the Franchise Agreement. The <br /> City will also incur interest charges as the proposed rate increase is based on a <br /> methodology contained in the Franchise Agreement <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Since the City, in accordance with the respective Franchise Agreement does not pay <br /> Recology for solid waste and recyclable material collection services from the General <br /> Fund, there will be no cost impact to the City if the increase for Special Service <br /> Requests is approved. This practice is consistent for all SBWMA Member Agencies. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section <br /> 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical <br /> change in the environment. <br /> '/ • <br /> MICHAEL GIBBONS <br /> PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER <br /> ROBERT B.
