September 17, 1990 and the costs ranged from
Waste Mgmt. JPA
$56,322 to $171,312. He further stated that staff
is reviewing the RFP and will have a report at the
September 27, 1990 Meeting.
C/Papen expressed concern over joining the East
San Gabriel Valley Integrated Waste Authority due
to the fact that the City might not obtain an
accurate report that characterizes the waste
stream. She further stated that Claremont McKenna
College (Rose Institute) has received funding of
approximately $50,000 for a general waste survey
in the S.G. Valley and they have offered the City
an opportunity to join the survey and submit an
additional 5 or 6 questions, specific to our
community. The cost would be minimal compared to
the potential results.
With Council consensus, staff was directed to
contact the Rose Institute and express the City's
interest in participating in the survey. Staff
will then report to Council on the cost for
participation in this survey, as well as report on
the RFP's that were submitted.
