i am sympathetic to all the police from yuba county and the people from yuba county. believe that is the situation yuba county and recology can work out for themselves. my concern is to pass the budget and you need to go to the next step and work out the problems of this contract. i hope so much for the people who could not be here today, working at those recycling plants, the baking continue to work as recycling plants. and there would not be some big lay off because no one wanted to take action in this situation. like i said before, i am very sympathetic to the folks of yuba county and what they had to say to today. but we have a different scenario down here with our young people and how we need to put a lot of them to work because of our relationship with recology. and we ask that you pass this item. thank you so much. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is a laronda smith. i was born and raised in san francisco. i am here in support of recology. i think they have done a beautiful job by hiring people in the southeast section of san francisco, and

yuba county does in these. is also possible that alameda county would do the same as a host county, and of course, there is no guarantee either way where those rates would be. in terms of competitive bidding, this is something i did hear from members of the public. i want to be clear. there are two separate issues when we talk about the recology contract. the item that is before us, and in particular, the bidding for the fees, there was an extensive and open process conducted by the city. i do not want members of the public to be misled to believe there was no competitive process or rfp process that occurred. this is a process that was a multi-year process. the department pursued this with the indication that we would be running out of space over time, and to make sure the city would be bargaining at the strongest point possible. we went through and notified every single provider in the state of california, i believe, to invite them to bid on this project. unfortunately, we did not get too many responses. we di

there were $4.40 at yuba county, but much higher in other places. i think it is over $16 at the current land fill site in livermore. there was some tension from elected officials in the yuba county to possibly raise those fees. how those increases would affect local ratepayers -- i felt that was a risk, a potential risk that it would increase the cost locally, and whether the bid that could be approved today was the right bid that would later in flight what the costs were to the city and to the ratepayers. -- inflate what the costs were to the city and the ratepayers. because of that i was skeptical of this contract, knowing the great work the environmental -- the department of the environment did to put this together. but i felt my vote on this measure has really weighed on what is right for the process of the city and the true cost to ratepayers. i will be voting against this agreement. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you to my colleagues. i do appreciate the discourse we have had over this topic. we have had a number of meetings at the committee
