STUDY SESSION
CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - 100 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE
FEBRUARY 26, 2013
4:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL - 4:00 p.m.
II. CURRENT BUSINESS
1. CLARIFICATION OF ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. (4:00 P.M.)
2. ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT (OCSD) — FUTURE PROJECT
OVERVIEW. (4:05 P.M.)
The Orange County Sanitation District is the special district that receives and
treats much of the community's wastewater. OCSD manages a system of pump
stations and collection lines across the community, including along Pacific Coast
Highway. This presentation will show the Council and community where a number
of important OCSD line and pump station rehabilitation projects will occur in the
coming few years. The construction will impact traffic patterns and more.
3. RESIDENTIAL REFUSE COLLECTION REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). (4:45 P.M.)
The City has a premier trash collection system that is well -loved by the residents
who receive it. Most people would never want to change the current system. But
laws, regulations, and systems are changing despite that. As the State of
California increases the percentage of the waste stream that must be diverted from
landfills to 75% in the coming years, as our trash vehicles age, and as staff
members retire, the City needs to look at the way we collect trash. Would an
automated system reduce injury and make for a more efficient system? How
would an automated system work? Does everyone have to accept that large ugly
trash can? What about curbside recycling — will the community get to the 75%
diversion goal without it? This item is a chance for the Council and community to
discuss options for a Request for Proposals for residential trash collection.
The City provides a yellow sign -in card to assist in the preparation of the minutes. The completion of the card
is not required in order to address the Council. The City Council of Newport Beach welcomes and encourages
community participation. Public comments are generally limited to three (3) minutes per person to allow
everyone to speak. Written comments are encouraged as well.
