AKANA was rated the highest of three applicants based upon the established selection criteria, and the fee is well under the budget of $120,000.00 UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 5, 2017 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. G. Universal Garbage Collection Council President Robertson requested that a Council committee discuss the issue of universal garbage collection in the City. The City does not currently require residential subscription to garbage services as part of its current contract with Waste Management, and around 21% of single family households do not subscribe. The City's Code Enforcement division has advocated for universal garbage collection in the City to reduce trash and pest related violations, but most of the public comments to the Council on the matter have been in opposition. The current Waste Management contract expires in 2019 and includes two optional 2 -year extensions. The Transportation & Infrastructure Committee received a comment letter in opposition from Ted and Diane Myers dated May 20, 2017. Following discussion, the Committee agreed that universal garbage collection should be assessed as part of the contract analysis and future negotiations with Waste Management, but that it doesn't make sense to pursue this year. DISCUSSION ONLY.
