Director of Administrative Services presented the staff report. On July 10, 2007 the
City Council awarded a contract to Mikhail Ogawa Engineering to update the City's

Mikhail Ogawa, P.E., presented a PowerPoint presentation. The report explained a
model that proportionately allocates NPDES service costs among residential and
commercial solid waste service users according to their property use and volume of
waste generated, and approximate level of stormwater pollution derived from that. The
revised fee structure may encourage businesses to increase their level of recycling,
which will assist the City in achieving and maintaining its state mandated 50% solid
waste diversion goal.

The City Council received and filed the report, and provided direction to staff.
