Title
Consider recommendations regarding an Amendment to the Existing Agreement with Valley Garbage and Rubbish Company, Inc., DBA Health Sanitation Services, to process curbside commingled recyclables for residents and businesses in Santa Barbara County, as follows:
a) Amend an existing agreement with Waste Management, Incorporated’s subsidiary Valley Garbage and Rubbish Company, Inc. DBA Health Sanitation Services, to process curbside commingled recyclables in the communities of the City of Solvang as well as the unincorporated areas of the Santa Ynez Valley, Lompoc Valley, and Santa Maria Valley. If amended, the Agreement will continue to allow one-year extensions subject to contractor performance and a six month termination notice;
b) Authorize the Chair to execute an Amendment to the Agreement; and
c) Determine that the actions taken above are not an approval of a new project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because it consists of organizational or administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect change in the environment.
