The following written communications were received and considered <br />by Council prior to adoption of the motion: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />Letter dated December 28, 1977 from T. K. Blackman of <br />Great Western Reclamation, Inc., requesting Council approval <br />of a three-year extension of the existing contract; <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Letter dated December 28, 1977 from Moore and Hanson, 214 <br />South Broadway, recommending Council authorize a bid call <br />for a new trash collection contract; <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />Letter dated December 28, 1977 from Thomas Elsea, 1502 E. <br />First Street, recommending open competition trash collec- <br />tion service; <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />Letter dated December 28, 1977 from C. A. Ranney, Jr., <br />President of Cal-Compack Foods, Inc., 4906 W. First Street, <br />recommending open competition for industrial trash collec- <br />tion. <br /> <br />City Manager Bruce Spragg stated that the cost estimate to the <br />City of a three-year extension of the present contract with <br />Great Western Reclamation would be $260,000 more than the cost <br />for the previous three years, based on the assumption that the <br />City would have the same kind of experience with the cost of <br />living increase and with the adjustments that were negotiated <br />after the labor settlement; that based on the negotiations that <br />have been attended by Councilman Ortiz and Assistant City Manager <br />Ronald Wolford the Negotiating Team recommendation to bid a <br />new contract would be in the best interests of the City. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Ward said that he never supported the contract with <br />a cost of living increase provision plus open negotiations <br />later for extra equipment and strikes. <br /> <br />Councilman Ortiz responded that the contract proposed by the <br />City during negotiations would not give both the cost of living <br />increase and later open negotiations for labor costs. <br /> <br />Lillian Wolf of 3124 South Main Street, who manages apartment <br />buildings in several Orange County Cities, said that she uses <br />19~bins at her Santa Aha apartments which are picked up <br />three times a week at a cost of $674 per month; that she uses <br />with three pickups a week in Costa Mesa at a cost of $483; that <br />it seems unreasonable that Santa Ana charges $200 more per month <br />than Costa Mesa for about the same service; and that Great <br />Western Reclamation refuses to clean, repaint or replace dirty, <br />damaged bins. <br /> <br />Mr. A. Stark, 720 South Lyon, stated that he had been in the <br />rubbish industry for 23 years, and that competitive bidding <br />for a new contract would give the citizens of Santa Aha much <br />better service and a much better rate.
