Page | 12 SBWMA Recology Negotiations FAX Report 4/20/17 <br /> <br />The biggest take-away from the meeting was for SBWMA staff to provide a half-day workshop and <br />financial review for the TAC, to be briefed on the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement, and <br />compensation package. The TAC members believe this would help with understanding the changes <br />and prepare them for the council meeting discussions in May. A second half-day will also be <br />scheduled for early/mid-May to review the financial data and contract language with the Member <br />Agency legal staff. The other feedback provided by TAC members included: <br /> <br /> Upon confirmation of all deal points, p rovide more detailed financial information to <br />understand all changes in the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement. <br /> Confirming public outreach efforts associated with the Master Franchise Agreement should <br />be managed by the Member Agency, as they define their own Amended and Restated <br />Franchise Agreement and rate structure. <br /> Collaborating on any common negotiating points between the Member Agencies, as they <br />discuss options with Recology, it would be good to identify other Member Agencies that are <br />working on the same topic to try and streamline the negotiation process. <br /> Providing an outline of all changes in the Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement to <br />make the review easier. <br />A half day workshop will be held on May 3, 2017 for the TAC representatives and Member Agency staff <br />(those working with Recology and SBWMA when the new contract is executed) to outline changes to the <br />Amended and Restated Model Franchise Agreement and Cost Proposal with Recology. The intent of this <br />workshop is to provide opportunity to ask questions and walk through the details in preparation for the <br />Member Agency City Council meetings during the month of May. <br />B. SBWMA Member Agency Input Survey: Garbage & Recycling Collection Services <br />A survey was generated to seek input from Elected Officials in order to understand satisfaction <br />with different services provided by Recology, and to seek feedback on the level of interest for <br />each Member Agency in pursuing new or changed services. These details provided critical insight <br />and guidance for the negotiation process. The survey was distributed to all SBWMA TAC members <br />on Dec ember 16, 2016, who then sent the survey to their fellow Elected Officials for feedback. The <br />information was gathered via SurveyMonkey and a response was requested by January 6, 2017. <br />The deadline was extended to January 13 to allow for every Member Agency to respond. All Member <br />Agenc ies responded. Results of the Survey can be found in Attachment E. <br />C. SBWMA Member Agency Projected Growth Rate Survey <br />A survey was generated to seek input from all Member Agency Senior Planning staff in order <br />to understand projected development in their service area. This aspect was significant to our <br />discussions throughout the negotiations due to the concerns Recology has stated surrounding their <br />lack of compensation for an increase in accounts due to the growth in commerci al and multi -use <br />buildings over the past few years. The survey was distributed to all SBWMA TAC members on <br />January 9, 2017 , who then sent the survey to their planning departments for feedback. The <br />7.A - Page 22
