City Council

7. SECOND AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH CR&R INCORPORATED CR&R Incorporated (CR&R) is the City’s exclusive provider for solid waste and recycling services. The Contract between the City and CR&R allows for annual rate increases to offset increases in the cost to provide the service. To ensure Proposition 218 compliance the City will be updating the annual rate adjustment process after a public hearing in June 2024. Contractually, annual rate increases have been adjusted using the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the prior calendar year. In an effort to meet the timeline and public notification requirements of Prop 218, staff and CR&R have agreed to amend the contract to use the October PPI to determine the rate adjustment that will take effect on July 1, 2024, and annually thereafter. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve the Second Amendment to Agreement for the Collection, Transportation, Processing and Diversion of Recyclable Materials, Food Scraps, Yard Trimmings, Wood, Construction and Demolition Debris and Other Materials and for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste; and authorize the City Clerk and Mayor to execute the Second Amendment.
