Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding the B.F.I. proposal for initiating a residential curbside recycling program and direction to Staff. Mr. Gilley stated some advantages in going with the BFI proposal would be we could begin recycling in San Marcos more quickly, it could run concurrently with BFI's present contract with the City, which has 18 months remaining, it would give the City time to evaluate the services of BFI and how they meet the needs of our community, and it would be a good opportunity to begin the recycling process with a minimum expense to the citizens (estimated $1.50 per household per month plus 8 cents per container, which would be provided by BFI). Mayor Morris expressed interest in going with BFI's proposal but recommends Staff have a RFP ready a year from now to explore what the best options for the citizens are. Mr. Hernandez wants the City to receive RFPs now to see what all vendors have to offer. Mr. Guerra agreed with Mayor Morris' suggestion. Staff indicated there needs to be time to educate the citizens on recycling. It was consensus of Council to go with the BFI proposal now, receive a report from Staff after it is in operation for six months, tie down BFI's price as quickly as possible, and go through the RFP process in the future. Staff will bring the needed amendments to the Council for consideration at the next meeting.
