Page 1 of 5
DATE: April 6, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Tait, Public Works Services Director
By: Vanessa Hevener, Environmental Services Manager
SUBJECT: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL REFUSE AND
RECYCLING AGREEMENT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT (“WM”) AND
PROPOSED REFUSE RATES SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEARS 2021-22
THROUGH 2025-26
Recommendation: Approve the Agreement and direct staff to follow
Proposition 218 Balloting procedures and set a Public Hearing for
June 15, 2021
SUMMARY
Waste Management (“WM”) is the City’s exclusive residential and multi-family refuse
hauler for solid waste collection, recycling, and green waste services. The current
Residential Refuse and Recycling Agreement (“Agreement”) was executed in March 2009
and included a seven-year term expiring on June 30, 2016. In October 2013, the City
executed the First Amendment to the Agreement for five additional years. The new term
is set to expire June 30, 2021.
During the past year, City staff has been negotiating with WM on extending the Agreement
for an additional 10 years that includes compliance with new Green Waste and Organics
Recycling regulations. Based on direction provided by City Council during the February
16, 2021, Study Session, it is recommended that the City Council approve the Second
Amendment to the Residential Refuse and Recycling Agreement with Waste
Management. The proposed rates for Fiscal Year 2021-22 include a step rate increase to
account for the mandated organics waste recycling program going into effect mid-year on
January 1, 2022, for single-family and multi-family customers. The proposed monthly
residential rates of $29.99 for the standard service of 96-gallon trash, 64-gallon green
waste, and 64-gallon recycling carts starting July 1, 2021, will increase by $2.58 on
January 1, 2022, when the mandated organics regulations take effect. In addition, the
proposed multi-family rates for a 3-yard split bin (trash and recycling) will be $154.11 per
month and will increase to $169.40 with the addition of an organics cart starting on
January 1, 2022. This is an increase of $27.61 per month from the current rate of
$126.50.

In addition, given that the Second Amendment includes a new rate schedule, Proposition
218 requires the mailing of a written notice detailing the proposed rate adjustment to all
residential and multi-family property owners in the City. It is recommended that a Public
Hearing be set for the June 15, 2021, City Council meeting to consider the proposed
residential rate adjustment schedule for Fiscal Years 2021-22 through 2025-26.
BACKGROUND
Waste Management has been the City’s exclusive residential and multi-family refuse and
recycling hauler since 1999 and has consistently provided excellent service. The
Residential Refuse and Recycling Agreement was executed in March 2009 and included
a seven-year term, which expired on June 30, 2016. In October 2013, the City Council
executed the First Amendment to the Agreement for an additional five years through June
2021.
The State has adopted new laws and regulations requiring cities and counties, including
the City of Arcadia, to develop and implement new recycling programs impacting all solid
waste generators. These regulations are aimed at reducing the amount of solid waste
materials sent to the landfills, and include the following:
• AB 32 - A program directed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in California to
1990 levels by 2020. As part of the scoping plan for this bill, mandatory commercial
recycling is contemplated as a key measure that will help to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
• AB 341 - A requirement that established a Statewide recycling goal of 75% by 2020
and new commercial recycling measures for businesses with at least 4 cubic yards
of trash weekly or multi-family properties with 5 units or more.
• AB 1826 - A requirement to establish organic waste recycling programs according
to a phased-in schedule
• AB 1594 - A requirement to eliminate diversion credits for the use of green waste
materials as alternative daily cover at landfills.
• SB 1383 – Establishes targets to achieve a 50% reduction in the level of the
statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020, and a 75%
reduction by 2025.
DISCUSSION
During the February 16, 2021, study session, the City Council was provided an overview
of the City’s residential and commercial solid waste and recycling programs as well as an
update on efforts in engaging a dialogue with WM to further extend the Agreement. The
City Council’s direction was to continue the dialogue and negotiate the provisions of the
Second Amendment with WM.
One issue for consideration was the potential inclusion of a Franchise Fee, a fee that the
City can charge the franchisee in exchange for the privilege of receiving the franchise.
Typically, a Franchise Fee is included in the rates and, therefore, is passed on to the
Second Amendment to Residential Refuse and Recycling Agreement
April 6, 2021
Page 3 of 5
ratepayer. For example, if the City requests an annual Franchise Fee equal to 3% of the
approximate current net revenues from the Agreement, the rates likely would be
increased by a similar percentage. Below is an example of different Franchise Fee
percentages and their impacts on proposed basic rates for service for single-family and
multi-family customers:
Proposed Rate
3% of Net
Revenues
5% of Net
Revenues
10% of Net
Revenues
Single Family $29.99 $33.58 $34.63 $36.53
Multi-Family (Stab rate) $169.40 $174.64 $178.31 $188.22
Total Potential Franchise Fee - $227,712 $387,511
$818,078
Waste Management did not agree to include a franchise fee into the proposed rate
schedule without it increasing the rates. Given that the City wants the best rates for its
residents, it is recommended at this time not to include a Franchise Fee in the proposed
rate schedule.
The proposed Second Amendment extends through June 30, 2031, with changes
covering key provisions highlighted and described below:
• Residential/Multi-family rates/new rate adjustment methodology;
• Enhancements to services and programs; and
• Compliance with new Green Waste and Organics Recycling regulations.
Residential/Multi-family Rates/Rate Adjustment Methodology
The City of Arcadia currently enjoys one of the lowest residential refuse rates in the San
Gabriel Valley because of a provision in the current Agreement which states that
Arcadia’s refuse rates cannot exceed the lowest 1/3 of all cities in the San Gabriel Valley
with similar services. This provision was able to be retained, a rarity in solid waste
contracts, which will allow the City to continue to have one of the lowest refuse rates in
the surrounding area.
The proposed rates for Fiscal Year 2021-22 include a step rate increase to account for
the mandated organics waste recycling program going into effect mid-year on January 1,
2022 for single-family customers. The chart below shows the proposed monthly
residential rates of $29.99 for the standard service of 96-gallon trash, 64-gallon green
waste and 64-gallon recycling carts starting July 1, 2021, and will increase by $2.58 on
January 1, 2022, when the mandated organics regulations take effect. In addition, the
proposed multi-family rates for a 3-yard trash bin and 3-yard recycling bin will be $213.76
per month and will increase to $234.58 with the addition of an organics cart starting on
January 1, 2022.

$213.76 $20.82 $234.58
In addition, the Second Amendment slightly modifies the Rate Adjustment Methodology
Formula, which determines the annual rate increases. The current Rate Adjustment
Methodology Formula includes three weighted indices: Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)
65%; Disposal/Green Waste Facility Index 30%; and Producer Index (“PPI”) 5%. The
new proposed Rate Adjustment Methodology Formula includes only two indices:
Disposal/Diversion Component and Service Component. The Disposal/Diversion
Component consists of cost of tipping fees charged at landfills for trash, tipping fees
charged at composting facilities for green waste/food waste, and recycling fees at
processing/recycling facilities. Under the new Rate Adjustment Methodology, the
Disposal/Diversion Component is 40% of the weight in the calculation of the new rate.
The Service Component is based on monthly percent changes in the Consumer Price
Index (“CPI”) for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim between the current year and the
prior year and is given a 60% weight in the calculation of the overall adjustment of the
new rate. This new rate Adjustment Formula will be used to determine the percentage
rate increase starting in FY 2022-23.
Exhibit “2” highlights the refuse rate survey conducted in January 2021 for cities with
similar services in the San Gabriel Valley. The survey shows that Arcadia’s rates will
remain one of the lowest as compared to other cities in San Gabriel Valley and this doesn’t
even take into account that other cities generally have not yet increased their rates to
include the organics (SB 1383) recycling regulations.
Enhancements to Services and Programs
As part of the extension, WM will provide residents certain new and/or enhanced services.
They include the following:
• Community mulch giveaway event
• Two community document shredding events
• Bins for tree trimming and miscellaneous debris removal at sites designated by the
City
• Trash and recycling collection for five (5) non-City events

Compliance with New Solid Waste Regulations
The State has adopted new laws and regulations requiring cities and counties, including
the City of Arcadia, to develop and implement new recycling programs impacting all
residential, multi-family and commercial waste generators. Under the proposed
Amendment, WM will assist the City in complying with its designated Procurement Target,
which requires the City to purchase the equivalent of 4,000 tons of recovered organic
waste products such as mulch, compost, renewable gas, and electricity. To meet this
requirement, WM will purchase renewable gas to fuel WM trucks and vehicles in service
of this Agreement and provide the City with the credit for those purchases. Furthermore,
WM will assist with the development of the Route Review Plan, a system to identify and
track contamination from single family and multi-family customers as required by SB
1383.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be
seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is
exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Residential refuse and recycling collection service rates is a fee-for-service that is paid
directly to the contractor by the residential customer. The proposed rates will not impact
the City’s budget unless the City Council chooses to impose a Franchise Fee upon the
hauler.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council to approve the Second Amendment to the
Residential Refuse and Recycling Agreement with Waste Management (“WM”) and direct
the Public Works Services Department to follow Proposition 218 Balloting procedures,
and set a Public Hearing for June 15, 2021.

and/or receive responses to questions the customer may have.
(b) Third and Subsequent Occurrences. For the third and subsequent
occurrences during every rolling twelve-month period through the term of
this Agreement, where Contractor documents that a particular customer
has a Recyclable Materials, MSW or Organic Waste container with
Contamination, Contractor shall service the Recyclable Materials, MSW or
Organic Waste container and charge the customer the Contamination
Charge set forth in Exhibit C. In addition, Contractor may, as reasonably
required to prevent future incidents of Contamination, 1) deliver additional
or larger containers to the customer or require additional weekly collections
and charge the customer for such increased or additional services in
accordance with Exhibit C, 2) for customers receiving Bin service, install
locking Bins and charge the customer for such in accordance with Exhibit
C, or 3) remove the offending container. Any increased capacity or
collection frequency, the use of locking Bins, or the removal of an offending
13
container, will remain in effect until Contractor determines that it is no
longer needed to prevent Contamination.
At least ten (10) days prior to taking the actions described in 1), 2), or 3)
above, Contractor’s representative shall contact the customer by phone,
text, other electronic means, U.S. mail, e-mail or in person to confirm that

pursue as applicable, appropriate legal remedies against offending
customers in order to secure discontinuance of Contamination. All City
costs of pursuing such remedies shall be recoverable from the offending
customers.
9. Container Overages.
(a) First Occurrence. Where Contractor observes and documents that a
particular premise has a container Overage, Contractor shall collect the
Overage and the container provided such collection can be completed
safely and/or without causing spillage of material, and must notify the
customer by phone, text, U.S. mail, e-mail, other electronic means, or in
person (which may be a container tag), setting forth the date, description
and photographic or video image of the Overage. Contractor shall not be
obligated to collect the container if Contractor determines that collection
may cause harm or damage to persons or property.
(b) Second and Subsequent Occurrences. For the second and subsequent
occurrences during every rolling twelve-month period through the term
of this Agreement, where Contractor documents an Overage, Contractor
may (i) refuse collection and leave a written notice explaining the reason
for non-collection; or (ii) collect the Overage and charge the Customer an
14
Overage charge as set forth in Exhibit C. After three (3) instances of
Overage in any twelve (12) months, Contractor may do the following: 1)
deliver additional or larger containers to the customer or require additional
weekly collections and charge the customer for such increased or
additional services in accordance with Exhibit C; or 2) remove the offending
container.
At least ten (10) days prior to taking the actions described in 1) or 2) above,
Contractor’s representative shall contact the customer by phone, text, other
electronic means, U.S. mail, e-mail or in person to confirm that customer
has the appropriate level of service. Contractor shall notify City within five
(5) Business Days of taking these actions. City will consider, and pursue
as applicable, appropriate legal remedies against offending customers in
order to secure discontinuance of Overages. All City costs of pursuing
such remedies shall be recoverable from the offending customers.”
VIII. Section G.2. of the Agreement, as amended in Sections 5 and 6 of the First Amendment, is
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“2. The rates for service as of July 1, 2021 are set forth in Exhibit C. Beginning July
1, 2022 and on each July 1 thereafter, subject to the requirements of subsection 3
below, the rates shall be adjusted in accordance with the rate adjustment
methodology set forth below. Contractor shall submit to the City, not less than -
ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the proposed adjustment, information
and documentation in support of the adjustment. The City Manager shall review
the information submitted by Contractor for completeness and accuracy. The City
Manager shall refer the proposed adjustment to the City Council for approval,
which shall not be withheld unless the City determines the information submitted
by Contractor is incomplete. The adjustment shall be effective on July 1 of each
15
year. Contractor acknowledges that its late submission of the proposed
adjustment and supporting information may make it impossible for the City to timely
complete compliance with Proposition 218’s notice and majority protest
procedures so as to allow the rate increases to take effect on July 1st. The
adjustment shall be subject to successful completion of the Proposition 218
hearing to the extent a Proposition 218 process is deemed advisable by the City.
(a) Rate Adjustment Methodology. The rates shall be adjusted based upon
percentage changes in the Diversion and Disposal Component and Service
Component, with initial weighting of each being, respectively, 40% for the
Diversion and Disposal Component and 60% for the Service Component,
subject to re-weighting as set forth in Section G.2.(a)(4).
(1) Diversion and Disposal Component. The Diversion and Disposal
Component shall consist of the percentage change in the average
Diversion and Disposal cost per ton for the Current Measurement
Period (defined as the 12 months ending the last day of December
of the current year preceding the adjustment date) compared to the
average Diversion and Disposal cost per ton for the Prior
Measurement Period (defined as the 12 months ending the last day
of December of the prior year). The Diversion and Disposal cost per
ton for each measurement period shall be the sum of the Recycling
Processing Factor, the Organic Waste Processing Factor and the
MSW Factor for the measurement period divided by the total tons
for that period. See example calculation in Exhibit D.
(2) Each of the factors comprising the Diversion and Disposal
Component are defined as follows:
16
i. Recycling Processing Factor. The Current Recycling
Processing Factor equals the total tons of Recyclable Material
delivered to the Recycling Facility(ies) for the Current
Measurement Period multiplied by the average of the monthly
processing fees charged at the Recycling Facility(ies) during the
Current Measurement Period. The Prior Recycling Processing
Factor equals the total tons of Recyclable Material delivered to
the Recycling Facility(ies) for the Prior Measurement Period
multiplied by the average of the monthly processing fees
charged at the Recycling Facility(ies) during the Prior
Measurement Period.
ii. Organic Waste Processing Factor. The Current Organic Waste
Processing Factor equals the total tons delivered to the
Organics Processing Facility(ies) for processing during the
Current Measurement Period multiplied by the per ton organic
waste processing fees charged at the Organics Processing
Facility(ies) for the new rate period. The Prior Organic Waste
Processing Factor equals the total tons delivered to the
Organics Processing Facility(ies) for processing during the Prior
Measurement Period multiplied by the per ton organic waste
processing fees charged at the Organics Processing
Facility(ies) for the prior rate period.. Contractor shall provide
to the City written documentation of the per ton tip fee
adjustment at the Organics Processing Facility(ies) as part of
the annual rate adjustment application.
17
iii. MSW Factor. The Current MSW Factor equals the total tons
delivered to the MSW Facility(ies) for disposal during the
Current Measurement Period multiplied by the per ton disposal
rate charged at the MSW Facility(ies) for the new rate period.
The Prior MSW Factor equals the total tons delivered to the
MSW Facility(ies) for disposal during the Prior Measurement
Period multiplied by the per ton disposal rate at the MSW
Facility(ies) for the prior rate period, provided, however, that any
increase shall not exceed the percentage increase in the per ton
tipping fee established by the Riverside County Waste
Management Department for disposal of Solid Waste generated
within Riverside County at landfills comprising the County
System (Badlands Landfill, Lamb Canyon Landfill, El Sobrante
Landfill). Company shall provide to the City written
documentation of the per ton tip fee adjustment at the Disposal
Facility(ies) as part of the annual rate adjustment application.
(3) Service Component Adjustment. The Service Component shall be
adjusted annually by one hundred percent (100%) of the
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Anaheim, CA, not seasonally adjusted, as published by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
(“CPI-U”) calculated as follows: The CPI-U adjustment will be
calculated using the average of the monthly percentage changes in
the CPI-U index between the Current Measurement Period and the
Prior Measurement Period See example calculation in Exhibit D.
18
(4) Re-weighting. The initial weighting of the Diversion and Disposal Component shall
be 40% and of the Service Component shall be 60%. This initial weighting shall
apply to the July 1, 2022 rate adjustment. The weighting for The Diversion and
Disposal Component and the Service Component shall be recalculated every year
thereafter to reflect the relationship of the actual costs of service, disposal and
processing. See example calculation in Exhibit D.”
IX. Section G.5 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety, effective July 1, 2021, and replaced
with “Reserved”.
X. Section G.6. of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“6. Contractor may request an adjustment to the service rates other than as provided

(a) changes in taxes, fees or charges imposed on Contractor’s services by any
governmental authority having jurisdiction; or
(b) changes in operations or services directed by City; or
(c) changes in federal, state or local laws or regulations; or
(d) other changes or causes or reasons that are not within the reasonable
control of Contractor.
Contractor shall submit information and documentation in support of the requested
adjustment for review within ten (10) business days of submitting its request. The
City Council shall approve or deny the request within ninety (90) days of submittal,
in its reasonable judgment. The adjustment shall be effective upon successful
completion of the Proposition 218 hearing and in no event more than sixty (60)
days after City Council’s approval. Contractor shall provide assistance to the City,
and shall reimburse the City for its reasonable expenses incurred in taking actions
19
required by these provisions in connection with its approval of a requested
adjustment under this Section G.6.”
XI. Section K.1 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“1. Contractor acknowledges that education and public awareness are essential elements
of efforts to achieve the State’s diversion requirements. Accordingly, Contractor, at its
sole expense, will implement a Public Education Program to expand public and
customer awareness regarding available services and the methods of reducing,
reusing, and recycling solid waste in accordance with Exhibit E to this Second
Amendment. The detailed Public Education Program is set forth in Exhibit E to this
Agreement. By November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2021, Contractor
will submit a revised Public Education Program for the upcoming twelve (12) month
period for review and approval by the City Manager, which shall be consistent with
Exhibit E. Public Education Materials will be available in English and Mandarin.”
XII. Section 10 of the First Amendment, added as Section II.1 to the Agreement, is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with new Sections K.3 and K.4 as follows. In addition, new Section K.4

EXHIBIT "A"
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Waste Management understands how important it is to the City of Arcadia to plan ahead to
prepare for any type of emergency, whether natural or man-made. While it is difficult to plan
specifically for every type of emergency, this contingency plan shall serve as an example of
Waste Management’s abilities to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency
or unforeseen event.
In any event, as with our day-to-day operations, effective communications is of paramount
importance. Waste Management will immediately notify the City of any event that will inhibit our
ability to perform collection, processing or disposal services.
Loss of Processing Facilities or Disposal Capabilities
x Solid Waste: In the event that the Waste Management Azusa Transfer Station is unable
to accept solid waste from the City of Arcadia, Waste Management has the option to
move Arcadia waste to our Sun Valley Recycling Park in Sun Valley, or to the Grand
Central MRF and Transfer Station in the City of Industry, or to the Pomona Valley
Transfer Station, or to the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Puente Hills MRF and
Transfer Station. Additionally, in the event that all local transfer stations are inaccessible
Waste Management may direct haul the material to the Simi Valley Landfill and
Recycling.
x Organics/Green Waste: In the event that the Azusa Transfer Station is unable to
process mixed food waste and green waste, WM will deliver unprocessed material to
Waste Management’s Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center. Additionally, Waste
Management may direct haul the unprocessed material to the Waste Management
South Valley Composting Facility in Tulare. If no option is available, organics will be
taken directly to the landfill.
x Recyclables: In the event the Azusa MRF is not available, Waste Management will
transfer the recyclables to Grand Central MRF and Transfer Station in the City of
Industry or the Puente Hills MRF. If both contingency facilities are unavailable, residents
will be asked to temporarily commingle their waste and recycling until a processing
facility is available.
Inclement Weather
x Waste Management keeps the safety of our drivers and communities at the forefront of
all weather-related service issues. In the event of inclement weather, the District and
Route Managers will evaluate road conditions. If Waste Management determines that it
is unsafe to provide services, our staff will notify the City Manager or designee of the
conditions and request permission to collect only in those portions of the City that do not
pose a danger. If the City Manager authorizes a weather-related temporary cessation of
services, Contractor may temporarily cease collections except in those portions of the
city that do not pose a danger. Contractor will provide collection services for customers
with uninterrupted service on the next business day following the cessation of the
weather conditions, unless some other schedule is approved by the City Manager.
Contractor shall use the outbound dialing systems to notify customers of their next
collection day.
Unexpected Circumstance
x Waste Management has a local Disaster Plan that includes specific procedures for
strikes and catastrophic events. In a catastrophic event, Waste Management would
resume service with the assistance of employees based in unaffected areas through the
County. Waste Management would prioritize the collection of solid waste from all of
Arcadia essential public service facilities.
Equipment Failure
x In the event of equipment failure or loss, Waste Management maintains spare service,
delivery and collection vehicles at each Waste Management District in the region, that
could assist Waste Management’s operations that serve Arcadia, if necessary.
x A large portion of Waste Management’s Southern California fleet provides residential
collection services. Vehicles from this fleet are available to support the collection of
large quantities of materials (i.e. after a windstorm). Waste Management also maintains
a sufficient inventory of roll-off boxes. Equipment from this inventory would be available
for use in an emergency situation
Strike or Natural Disaster
x In the event that there is a labor strike, Waste Management has the ability to deploy
non-union, certified and experienced Waste Management employees to run routes.
Waste Management would prioritize collection service customers in order to ensure that
all essential public service facilities (i.e. hospitals, nursing home, etc.) retain collection
services. In the event of a strike, Waste Management expects that all normal collection
schedules would be resumed within just a few days.
x During a work stoppage, picking up trash be the first priority. Waste Management will
attempt to collect all trash and organics the first week. During the first two weeks of the
work stoppage recycling will be the second priority. In the event that the stoppage lasts
longer than two weeks, recycling will be postponed for two weeks until additional
resources are confirmed; customers will be asked to comingle their waste if necessary,
to stay on schedule
In the event of emergency, work stoppage or labor disruption, picking up trash will be the
first priority. All changes in collection and operations will be communicated to City staff as
quickly as possible.
