SUBJECT: Consider Report on Street Sweeping 4�
Handling / Dumping Costs
Background
In August of 1991, the City Council considered a report
pertaining to the clean -up the Parks & Public Works storage area
behind City Hall. This effort was in response to complaints
received from residents just south of the Civic Center Complex
regarding the dumping of refuse and the storage of materials on
City Property. The report noted a number of remedial steps
being taken to resolve the problem. Included in that list was
mention of efforts being taken to relocate the street sweeping
debris handling area to another location.
New Location for Street Sweeter Debris Handling
The City's Street Sweeping Contractor (Pacific Sweep) has
relocated the staging area for street sweeper debris to a site
leased by a nursery operation which is located on the west side
of Gabbert Road north of the railroad tracks.
Additional Costs
When the street sweeper debris was deposited at City Hall, the
City incurred little or no handling or dumping costs. The
City's refuse franchise includes provisions for limited refuse
service at City Hall at no cost.
Pacific Sweep has retained the services of the Nursery operator
to place the street sweeping debris into a forty yard roll -off
bin. The cost of the loader and driver to perform this work is
approximately $250 per month.
In addition, Pacific Sweep and staff have developed and reviewed
a history of refuse dumping costs at this site before and after
the street sweeping debris dumping was first established at this

location. That analysis concluded that the amount of the
dumping costs attributable to the City's street sweeping debris
is also approximately $250 per month. The total amount of
additional costs resulting from the relocation of this activity
is approximately $500 per month, or $6,000 per year. A portion
of these costs are passed on to Caltrans as part of the costs
reimbursed to the City for sweeping the State Highways within
the City.
No other feasible option is available at this time. It is
anticipated that this operation will be moved to the future
Public Works Corporation Yard. When that occurs, depending upon
the facilities and equipment available, it is possible that
these costs could be reduced.
The additional costs incurred this fiscal year will be covered
by the contingency provided for the possible addition of new
streets to the street sweeping route. No additional
appropriation is required. It is the intent of staff to include
in next year's budget, funds sufficient to cover these
anticipated costs.
Receive and file the report.
