MEMO TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT : GREAT WESTERN RECLAMATION CONTRACT
Accompanying this memo are communications from Mr. Tom Blackman,
President of Great Western Reclamation, Inc. I am sure you are aware
that they recently settled a union bargaining contract which very
materially increases the operating costs of Great Western as well
as most of the other major contractors for city refuse collection in
Orange County. You will also know that Mr. Blackman has asked for
a rather large number of amendments to his existing contract to the
point that in my opinion it would be impossible for us to even comment
upon, let alone make recommendations upon, all of these items by this
Council meeting.
We have, however, made a rather extensive check on his unit increases
in costs as well as kept in close communication with the other major
affected cities . It is my strong opinion that equity of treatment of
the contractor will demand that he obtain at least a 15per month in-
crease per water meter. I do not declare this to be a final figure,
and certainly we have no recommendations on the many other items in
question; neither does Mr. Blackman accept the 15 figure as from his
position an adequate one to compensate him for his increased costs .
However, his contract was retroactive to the 1st of May, and unless he
gets some temporary relief, he will be operating at a serious loss
disadvantage. It is for this reason that we are recommending that the
Council authorize the 15c figure over and above his present payment
rate to be effective during the months of June and July during which
time we will undoubtedly complete our studies of the matter and. will
be ina position to recommend to the City Council answers to Mr. Black-
man' s request for consideration of changes in his contract as well as
make recommendations to the Council as to what we believe to be to the
best interest of the City.
