FROM: Lewis Pozzebon, Director / Health Officer
RE: equest to Adopt Ordinance Temporarily Suspending Acceptance and
Review of Non -Exclusive Solid Waste Franchise Agreement Applications
BACKGROUND:
In early December 2009 I provided a presentation on the City's Solid Waste Non-exclusive
Franchise Program. The presentation included information on the upcoming changes in the solid
waste landscape in Los Angeles County. These changes include the imminent closure of the
Puente Hills Landfill, the advent of new conversion technologies, and the implementation of new
standards for greenhouse gas emissions. Also discussed was the City of Vernon's need to
position itself to adapt to the changing circumstances and prepare for the future by increasing its
flexibility regarding the City's non-exclusive franchise system.
An initial step to prepare for the future was accomplished last September when we notified the
existing haulers in Vernon that we were not extending the current five year "evergreen term of
the non-exclusive franchise agreement with the City at the end of 2009 and that we were setting
a date to end the agreements on December 31, 2014.
In addition to setting a termination date for existing haulers, I am also recommending the
adoption of an ordinance to suspend acceptance and review of new non-exclusive solid waste
franchise agreement applications. Businesses in Vernon currently have a choice of nineteen (19)
haulers with franchise agreements. Five (5) of these haulers collect almost ninety (90) percent of
the solid waste collected in Vernon. At this point Vernon businesses have more than enough
choices for solid waste disposal services, and there is very little need for additional franchised
haulers. The suspension of the acceptance and review of new applications will also improve our
department's ability to provide a complete long term evaluation of the existing haulers'
compliance with franchise agreement terms and collection data as we approach the 2014
termination date.
The City Attorney's office has developed an uncodified ordinance that will temporarily suspend
the acceptance and review of new non-exclusive solid waste franchise agreement applications

while the City considers potential options, including a transition to an exclusive franchise

FISCAL IMPACT:
No major fiscal impact. There will be some minor administrative cost savings from not having
to process franchise agreement applications.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend adoption of the uncodified ordinance temporarily suspending the acceptance and
review of non-exclusive solid waste franchise agreements at the City Council meeting on
January 25, 2010.

BACKGROUND:
I am forwarding the attached Staff Report and draft ordinance which are in response to
discussions we have had and the staff discussion presentation I provided to the City Council on
the City's Solid Waste Non-exclusive Franchise Program on December 7, 2009. The

Angeles County. These changes include the imminent closure of the Puente Hills Landfill, the
