1�/ RT REPO To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager December 19, 2005 Subject Consideration of First Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority ("SBWMA") Recommendation Determine whether or not to approve the First Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. Background The SBWMA was formed by a Joint Exercise of Powers (JPA) Agreement effective December 9, 1999 by twelve (12) local agencies that include the Town of Atherton, City of Belmont, City of Burlingame, City of East Palo Alto, City of Foster City, Town of Hillsborough, City of Menlo Park, City of Redwood City, City of San Carlos, City of San Mateo, West Bay Sanitary District and the County of San Mateo (the Member Agencies). These Member Agencies were all founding members of the SBWMA and all came on board as equity members (there are no Non Equity members). Priorto December 9, 1999 all of the same agencies were part of a prior JPA, the South Bayside Transfer Station Authority (SBTSA), a JPA formed in June 1982. The SBTSA members had contracted with Browning & Ferris Industries of California, Inc. (BFI) to have collected Solid Waste be processed through the Transfer Station built by BFI in San Carlos. In 1999 the SBTSA exercised an option to acquire the Transfer Station and related buildings such as the Recyclery, including the real property on which they are located (the Facilities). The SBWMA was then formed, issued revenue bonds in early 2000, and followed through in place as the successor to SBTSA to acquire the Facilities from BFI. The SBWMA now owns the Facilities and operates the Transfer Station and Recyclery through an Operating Agreement with Allied Waste Systems (formerly known as BFI). That Agreement, which would initially expire on December 31, 2009, has now been extended by the SBWMA through December 31, 2010. The SBWMA recently entered into a Disposal Agreement with Allied Waste Systems, which owns and operates the landfill at Ox Mountain. The term of that Agreement runs to December 31, 2019. All of the Member Agencies have individual Collection Agreements with Allied Waste Systems for Solid Waste, Recyclable and Plant Material collection. Those Collection Agreements were likewise recently extended with Allied Waste Systems through December 31, 2010. The operation of the SBWMA has become a full-time activity. Forthat reason, it has been determined by the SBWMA Board to employ a full-time Executive Director. A recruitment for that position is now underway.
