SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
Resolution /36/9' of the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista consenting to the assignment of the trash
collection contract from Chula Vista Sanitary (GSX) to Laidlaw
Waste Systems, Inc.
Resolution 7 3 D a.4 Approving the agreement with Laidlaw
Waste Systems, Inc. for the provision of data processing
services
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manage
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
The ordinance amending Chapter 8.24 relating to garbage and litter control
ithin the City and the two resolutions are at least directly or indirectly
related to the sale of Chula Vista Sanitary Service, Inc. (GSX) to Laidlaw
Waste Systems, Inc. late last year. The City Council should be aware that the
new company, Laidlaw, intends to discontinue the historical name of Chula
Vista Sanitary Service, Inc. , and adopt and utilize the trade name of Laidlaw
Waste Systems. For at least one year, however, both names (Laidlaw and C V S S)
will appear on the quarterly bills in order to eliminate any confusion on the
part of customers.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council place the ordinance on first reading
amending Section 8.24.070 of the Municipal Code and adopt the resolution
consenting to the assignment of the trash collection contract and adopt the
resolution approving an agreement with Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. for the
provision of data processing services.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Early this year, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. requested, as required under the
Municipal Code, that City Council consent to an assignment of the trash
collection contract from Chula Vista Sanitary, Inc. (GSX) to Laidlaw Waste
Systems, Inc. In addition, they brought to our attention what they perceive
to be a vagueness in our Municipal Code in that it is not clear that a
franchisee had exclusive rights to collect all residential , commercial and
- industrial refuse. It was their position that if the collection of industrial
haste was not the exclusive right of the franchisee that some question could
arise over whether or not other collectors could enter the City and engage in
the collection of industrial waste without being subjected to the payment of a

franchise fee. Inasmuch as a review of the Code provisions revealed some
degree of uncertainty although historically Chula Vista Sanitary, Inc. has had
exclusive rights to collect all industrial waste and has always paid the
franchise fees for the revenue generated by industrial collections, for the
sake of clarity, the subject ordinance by amending Section 8.24.070 will make
it clearer that industrial waste is included in the franchisee's exclusive
franchi se.
The resolution of the City Council consenting to the assignment of the trash
collection contract to Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. is required under the
Municipal Code.
The final resolution approving an agreement with Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc.
provides for the City to continue to provide data processing services as has
been provided to Chula Vista Sanitary Service, Inc. since 1974. That service
as in the past provides for the preparation of billing statements for
Laidlaw's countywide customers including all of those customers within the
City of Chula Vista except commercial customers. The Laidlaw Waste Systems,
Inc. , upon assumption of contract responsibilities, will be our second largest
data processing account among the outside users. The City of El Cajon is
larger.
aidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. had originally intended to discontinue the
,:ontractual relationship but, through staff contact and negotiations, they
have agreed to remain with us under the terms and conditions outlined in the
agreement. The new contract will be effective for an initial five year period
beginning July 1 , 1987 and contains a contract provision for administratively
adjusting the rates on an annual basis without necessity of formally changing
the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: The ordinance amending the Municipal Code has no financial
impact nor does the resolution of the City Council consenting to the
assignment of the contract. The resolution approving the data processing
service contract produced an annual revenue of approximately $29,900. The
direct cost of supplies and communications link to the City in providing the
contract service is estimated at approximately $15,725 annually, leaving a net
revenue of approximately $14,175 per year.
