Dear Counc i I men
It has been brought to our attention that the City of Lodi is
considering the possibility of not extending the refuse collection
contract with California Wasre removal systems. VM as a Lodi
community company feel this would be a great loss.
V\b feel, as I an sure everyone feels, i t is very important to keep
community monies in the community. In the past year California
Waste spent $4,423.09 with Amerigas. They have been doing business
with us for the last six years. Vt aquired Pacific Welding and
Delta Welding. They were doing business with them pior to the
sequisition for many years.
California Waste has been an asset to our community. Thier service
is outstanding. Thier facility and trucks are exceptionaly clean.
VM have continuity been satisfied ith thier service. The drivers
are very neat . You can depend on them not to leave debree and
trash behind.
There would be considerable economic loss to our community. V1b as
a community should be concerned abou, this.
Vt look forward to our continued business relationship with
California Waste.
Since ,

Ow company has been doing business with California Waste Removal /Sanitary City
Disposal for over 35 years. I have personally been involved with the account
for 25 years, and have always found them to be very businesslike. They pay their
bills on time and have accounted for several million dollars in ppurchases from
our company over the years. Last year's purchases amour?ted to 5387,840..13.
It has come to my attention that a large waste disposal company is making a
proposal to the City of Lodi for refuse collection. In that regard I state the
following:
It has been n3' experience that these mega companies offer low rates when
they move into an area and press these rates upward gradually so no real
savings actually occurs. Furthermore, they concentrate their purchases
in large metropolitan areas and through factory direct programs which
siphons large amounts of cash out of the arta they serve. The local
business community suffers the loss.
Mary of our customers, my employees dnd members of my family live in
Lodi. W purchase goods and services provided by Lodi businesses.
W are concerned that everyone will lose in the event a large company
should serve the city.
I t i s our desire that the council w i 11 see f i t t o continue i t s'
contract with the very fine company that has served the city so well
for 60 years. The people and businesses of Lodi will benefit.
Sinc rely,

We have just been informed that California Waste Removal
System's contract with yu expires in June 1989 and that you
may be exploring the possibility of hiring a large outside
corporation.
We would like to take this opportunity to say we feel this
could be very determental to the Lodi community and could
result in an economic loss to many local vendors as well as
the community itself.
Not only does California Waste Removal System's employ local
people, but they spend money in the community which helps
local vendors. We have been doing business with California
Waste Removal System's for 6 years and during this time they
have spent money with us as well as other local vendors. We
doubt that a large Midwest or Eastern corporation would have
the loyalty that California Waste Removal System's has shown
to us and other local vendors.
We therefore urge you to renew your contrat with California
Waste Removal System's, which will guarantee the money spent
in this community stays where it belongs - with local
merchants and banks.
sincerely,

May 13, 1988
Since 1971, when Hydraulic Controls established a branch in
Stockton and I took up residency in the Lodi area, I have been
associated with Sanco and California Waste in both a business and
personal capacity. My position, as a sales engineer, has
involved me directly with the owners, managers and shop personnel
involved with equipment maintenance. There has never been a time
when a mutual trust did not exist between the owners, personnel
and myself. This is a relationship that I doubt could exist with
the influx of an outside organization.
I feel that we have always been given the opportunity to
compete in a fair and equitable way with other suppliers. The
actual sales involved is approximately $1,500.00 per month. The
loss of this business would not be devastating to us but from an
over-all standpoint of total dollars spent locally by California
Waste, the loss in revenue to the city, the county and the state
would be considerable.
From a personal standpoint, our family has always been
satisfied with the services provided by Sanco. We have found
them to be consistently efficient, reliable and courteous and the
charges have always been reascnable and affordable.
We urge the continuation of the present arrangement with
Sanco -- they employ local residents, support local businesses
and industries and provide an outstanding service to the
community,
Sincerely,

Dear City Council,
9aua:%
Wright's Stationers has been in business some 50
years. During that time Wright's and all the City of Lodi
has been fortunate to have a compar:y like California Waste
Removal Systems to provide efficent and timely service.
The company is locally owned with their employees living
and spending money in Lodi. To have an outside Corporati )n
come to Lodi and provide this servi.ce would not be good
economics for the City. California Waste is doing a good
job at rates comparative with other cities. I urge you to
grant an extension of their contract so the City of Lodi
can continue to receive the good service it deserves and has
been receiving.

It has come to my attention that the Lodi City Council may
be ecnsidering an outside source to provide waste removal From
the city of Lodi. I am concerned that California Waste may
lose the contract with the city. T would like to recommend
that you consider no other company but California Waste Removal
Systems For that contract with Lodi.
My company, HoLion Industries, has done business with
California Waste icr more thatf 20 years. Our companies are
both concerned with the progress of business in Lodi because we
are both local commercial industries with an interest in the
growth and well-being of the community. I fail to see how an
outside ccmpany might nave the community's interest at heart.
The employees at California Waste and also at Motion Industries
are all local people who care about Lodi. WE employ local
people who return to Lodi what Lodi has given to them.
According to our records, California Waste has spent
$8,563.00 with our company alone this year. We need to
consider how much more CaliFornia baste has spent locally in
order to keep their business going.
In closing, I ixrould like"'`tb remind you. that CaliFornia
Waste is a local company, spending money in the city of Lodi
and hiring Lodi citizens. California Waste purchases from
local bus a.nesses and has a loyalty to the city of Lodi that
cannot be replicated by any outside agency.
Very truly yours,

To The Members of the Lodi City Council:
It is my understanding that the contract with California
Waste Removal Systems is coming up for renewal and the
City Council is considering the possibility of seeking
services outside this area. Speaking as local business
people and residents of this Community for over 50 years,
it is my opinion that going outside Lodi, or even California,
would be a great disservice to the tax payers you represent.
This company, California Waste Removal Systems, has grown
and expanded their operations throughout the years to
better accommodate the citizens of the Lodi community.
They employ local citizens, bank and shop locally, putting
monies back into the local economy. The company has always
worked hard to help the residents keep Lodi a clean community.
A good example is the curb service clean-up program that is
,going on at the present time.
The recent change from the backyard garbage pickup to curb
service with the new "Jolly Green" plastic containers is
more than an economic improvement but a public health benefit
to all. The new containers, ifused properly, should reduce
the fly population within the city limits.
California Waste Removal Systems has always been a leader in
our community and I hope the City Council wi1I take this into
consideration during the renewal negotiations.
Yours very truly,

W are writing this letter in regards to the refuse contract
in the City of Eodi which is presently held by California
Was le Removal- As I am sure you are aware this company has
been serving the Lodi Community for over 60 years, and during
this time has contributed to the economic growth of Lodi by
providing jobs to local residents and revenues to local banks
and businesses. California Waste has spent over $ 70,000.00
with our company alone in the last year.
W can fully T:nderstand the concern that California Waste has
not only for themselves, but for the Community of Lodi if the
refuse contract were awarded to an outside, Multi -National
company. These companies come into small communities such as
Lodi and buy the market by providing services at below cost for
a short period of time, and initially forcing the local company
out. Time and time again this has proven to be a mistake in the
long run.
As we are residents of Stockton, where the refuse collection is
split amongst various companies, we have seen the results of this
type of situation. Whmt at firstseemedto be of a money saving
endeavor, turned into one of increased costs and poorer quality
service.
Refuse collection is a service business, performed by people,
not machines. People are best managed on a local basis, by
local people, with local interest. Contract awards should be
based OR who can do the best job in the long run. We feel that
th City of Lodi would be making an error by using any company
besides the present local company, who has provided quality,
competitive service for the past sixty years and one who can
continue to do so for the next sixty years.

The factors that make a community such as Lodi so special is
the benevolence that is built up through business relations as
w 11 as community involvement. For many years, California
Waste has contributed not only to this community but also to
many independent businesses in the neighboring areas. Cal
Waste has successfully proved efficiency and satisfaction to
all those they have served.
It is my belief that if you allow outside businesses into our
community, many independent companies will be faced with hard-
ships and the possibility of being forced out of business. The
factors that support my premise are as follows: 1. Large Corp-
orations are concerned with profits rather than the success of
our community and the individuals within the area. 2. A big
outside company has no loyalty to local people. This will
have a large impact on the local people currently employed.
3. Many independent vendors will lose work due to in-house
services that large corporations are able to provide.

Dear City Council Members:
I am writing to you both as a local
businessman and as a
Lifetime Lodi resident regarding the collection contract our city
has with Lodi Sanitary City Disposal Company
for the collection of
refuse. I am requesting and encouraging
you to renew and/or
extend that contract with Sanitary City.
I will admit at the outset that 1 have
a vested interest in
making this request. Sanitary City is a valued and substantial
client of mine. Should another company be
given this job, there
is no doubt in my mind tht I would not have
the business. I have
been a practicing attorney in Lodi for over
ten years. During the
majority of those years, Sanitary City has
been a client. The
same long term commitment they have shown
to me from a business
standpoint is the same type of long term
commitment they have
shown to me as a resident in the services
they have provided to
the community.
An "outside" company would not have the same concern for local
residents and businessmen as is now provided. Presently, we have
a company that provides jobs for Lodi residents, is a source of
revenue for local businesses and provides quality service to our
residents all at the same time.
I think that it is important to point out that many other
businessmen locally would lose if the present company did not
continue to hold the refuse collection contract. Not only would
they lose in the same manner as I have previously described, but
the impact would trickle down to others. I carry my belief and
commitment to dealing with local people in my business also. I
hire J_ocally and purchase goods focally. Many products that I
purchase for use in my business might be available a little bit
cheaper from vendors out of this area or state. However, I have
learned through the years that you cannot obtain the same level of
service or concern from these outside sources.
I would strongly urge and request that you either renew or
extend the refuse collection contract with Lodi Sanitary City, a
company which not only helps me as a Lodi resident and local
businessman but many others as well.
Very truly yours,
\f

RE: California Waste Removal Contract.
Lear Lodi City Council Members;
It has been brought to our attention that the City of Lodi my
be considering another refuse source, other than California
Waste Removal Systems. Cal Waste is the most efficient and well
managed disposal company- that the City of Lodi would ever want.
We can't begin to imagine that the City Council even coming up
with such a absurd thought, where is your loyalty?
Please keep in mind, the vast advantages that Cal Waste offers the
c o m it other than refuse collection. Cal Waste has been ran and
owned locally for 60 years, they employ local people, banklocal.,
and are very active in c o m i t y projects and programs. You can
assure yourselves that an outside refuse company won't perform or
give any local support:
Our firm has been doing business with Cal Waste for over three years,
and we show approximately 24 thousand dollars a year in job revenue.
Iliat would be lost jobs to our company if their contract is
terminated.
W hope that the Lodi City Council votes in favor of extending the
Cal Waste contract, mainly; for the simple reason the revenue earned
is also spent in the City of todi. Which is good Business:
Sincerely;
German Brothers Printrl 0

I would like to take this opportunity to write you in favor
of extending Sanitary City Disposal, Inc. `s refuse collection
contract. As an individual who works in and around Lodi, I
feei strongly that this important service should remain
locally controlled.
A large corporation w i 11 remove money locally and possibly
displace many local people. This certainly would have a
negative impact, not only those associated with California
Waste, but on the whole community. I feel Sanitary City
Disposal, Inc. has done an excellent job and should have
their contract renewed.

Dear ^Iayor and Citv Council:
It has came to ray attention that you are considering
expiring the contract with California Waste.
I for one believe this to ne a big mistake for Lodi
as a whole.
Our company has been actively involved with Calif.
Waste for the past two years. Last year alone $1,740.93
worth of services were performed.
Sot to long ago a new garbage collecting service
started in Lodi. Numerous promises were made regarding
quality service at a cheaper rate than Calif. Waste. Even
though I knew the person promoting this new service, I in—
formed him I would wait and see what happened.
What I saw was two old trucks constantly in need of re—
pairs, a manager driving truck because his employees didn't
make it to work. Needless to say this company didn't stay int
Lodi long. This was suppose to be an offshoot. of a Bay Area
company.
The quality of service from Cal. Waste is excellent.
I believe the transfer station is Super. Its clean, you get
paid Cor dumping cans, bottles, cardboard etc., and the people
running it are friendly and courteous.
Whenever a community function is going on in Lodi you'll
see Dave Vaccarezza or his staff actively involved.
We have a "First Class Refuse Company, ran by the same
family for over sixty years. I for one urge you to leave
well enough alone.
Thank You

Dear Council Members:
This note is in support of Sanitary City
Disposal which has continued to offer our
city excellent service at affordable prices.
N(, entity in this city has donated the time
and effort as has SaniCity to volunteer or-
ganizations and public commitment. Our office
has provided medical care to their employees
on a regular basis and Sanitary City has
resisted the temptation of outside medical
groups in favor of medical care locally.
Our city will suffer financially if outside
waste systems enter the market and any po-
tential savings will take it's toll on
locai employment.
in the six years that I have lived and worked
in Lodi, no issue has moved me to write to
the Council more than the subject listed above.
I strongly urge you to be as loyal to San-
itary City/ California Waste as they are
to our community.

Lodi, CA
RE: 101E -FUSE COLLECTION
it has come to ny attention that the City of Lodi is considering outside
contractors to provide refuse collection services fur the community.
I would personally like to endorse continuation of the agreement with Lodi
Sanitary City Disposal, Inc.
I have lived and had my business in Lodi for the past 35 years. The services
performed by this company have always been excellent and the cost of services
very reasonable.
4 business permits me to review plant, equipment and management of many
different companies. I can assure you of the quality of this locally owned
and managed firm.
My recollection of where this firm was 35 years ago, to what they are today,
is very vivid. They have more than adequately kept their services at: high
levels, while the community that I came to in 1953, which was approximately
16,500 population, has grown to some 43,000 today.
They have made very substantial investments in real estate, equipment and
personnel that has always kept them ahead of our growth pattern.
If you have not done so, I would invite any of the council members to visit
this very updated modern facility. It is one of the best.
I recommend a continuation of the 60 years of excellent services that this
company has provided.

i have just learned that the Ci.ty GOUT iGil is considering e-.ploring
outside sources for refuge collectior/Lodi and ;ish to express my feelings
or) ti�i -, riat ter . 1. ,
I own an office supply store in Lodi and have been doing business
with California Waste Removal Systems for about 2 1/2 years. in the past
year alone they have spent $5,430.61 in my store which in turn goes to pay
my employees and my taxes.
It is difficult to run a small busi_ne:.s nowadays, and its only
through the loyalty of other locally owned businesses that we survive. It
has been ny experience that many larger businesses in the area having their
headquarters outside the area bring in their supplies from the headquarters
location. I had dealt with another large company in Stockton which was sold
to a Southern California firm just last Summer. I've lost about $800.00 a
month because of that sale because everything is shipped fran L.A. Db you
realize what affect this has on a small business?
Even putting. business aside, how involved is California Waste
Removal Systems in the activities of Lodi. If hey're called upon for a
donation or assistance with a project they always come through. 11W many
firms owned outside the community would get as involved as they do. Every
citizen in Lodi has benefited in one way or another through their generousity.
This doesn't even address the fact that California Waste Removal
Systems employs locally. Their employees spend their earnings locally and
pay their taxes locally.
I can still recall when Stockton had decided that Stockton Scavengers
needed competition and called on outside services. Stockton went through a
lot of turmoil and ended up with two services, with the city being divided
in half giving its citizens no coiC` in the matter, rates continued to rise,
and service was not improved. Lb vie need this kind of confusion?
In conclusion, ve know what vie have in California Waste Removal
Systems - dependable service, generousity, and loyalty to our businesses.
A11 in all a business that cares about Lodi and its citizens - not just profits.

California Waste has been a valued customer ut ours si.nce 1968. The
117 employees of California Waste support our local economy. They
spent over $95,000 for replacement parts with us last year and have
$600,000 in new equipment currently on order to support their level
of service to the Lodi residents. This impressive volume of revenue
spent with a local concern is typical of the benefits derived from
doing business with locally owned and managed companies.
California 'Waste is recognized as a leader in the waste management
industry with it's high standards of fleet maintainance and pride
of operation. This is riot always the case with branch operations of
large national concerns. California Waste certainly reflects well
upon the City of Lodi. and can be counted as a real asset to the circa.

It has come to our attention that the Council is considering
the possibility of not renewing the contract with California
waste Removal Systems for refuse collection in the City of
Lodi.
California Equipment Company has enjoyed a very close
relationship with California Waste since vie opened our
Stockton Branch 22 years ago. During that time vie have been
impressed with California Wastes committment to their community
and the fine manner in which they- operate.
California Equipment Company in Stockton employees 12 people
s veral of which reside in the City of Lodi, the chance
tiiat the Lodi City Council may consider a refuse contract with
a refuse company based outside of the State of California, makes
us very alarmed. The purchasing practices of many of these
companys are devastating t.o local business. These out of
State Refuse Companys engage in centralized purchasing in their
Corporate Headquarters to the exclusion of all local venders.
It should be easy to see that this would have a sever negative
impact on local business's as well as their employees which
reside in the City of Lodi. In the past year California Waste
has purchased in excess of $24,00.00 dollars from California ,,.
:�'Equipment in Stockton. The impact of the possible loss of
this business could prove disastrous for us 6 our employees.
We urge you to reconsider any intentions of considering any
proposal which could so drasticly affect your local community.

I have been a long time resident of the city of Lodi and
the surrounding area. Mj family and I reside at 217 Maple
Street.
She purpose of this fetter is to express my concern
over the possibility of tte gerbage contract going out to
bid.
Sanitary City Disposal Company provides excel fent service.
They hire local people, some of which are my family and friends.
The managers and owners al 1 1 i vE in the local area and are
available if ti'ere is a problem and respond quickly to solve
tt-em.
Tho company h� s also provided us with a sponsorship so
v+e can play i n the Lodi recreation softball and basketball
leagues. for the pest three years.
As a resident, I am concerned that the excellent service
we knovi they provide would discontinue. Also, the possibility
that. my family and friends could lose their jobs if the
company lost ttis contract. Of course, we would lose our
sE-on.sorship too.
Why do you want
to consider
another
company?
They have
no loyalty to the residence

If you

you will

1 t has come to our attention that you nay be considering
discontinuing your contract w i t h Sanitary City Disposal Company
i n favor of a large .;ompany based outside of (;j�lifornia.
n our opinion, this it a serious mistake.
In tho first place, your council would be losing a considerable
amount of influence w i t h the company that provfdes this valuable
service to your community. With Sanitary City, you can talk
directly to tho ultimate decision makers, the owners of the
company. With a large national company, you would be dealing w i t h
relatively low -ranking middle managers.
Secondly, a dacision t o go w i t h a large national company does not
make sense economically. Many, many thousands of dollars would be
taken out of the local economy and sent to another state. We have
been doing business w i t h the Sanitary City Disposal Company for
over four years. Last year we received about $16,SOO. 0 i n gross
revenues from it. We arra just one of the many businesses i n the
local area that would suffer if a largo national company were
used.
If the reason the national f i rm is being considered is a "low
bid", we must consider a few things. A large outside company has
ona interest i n our community- Profit. As an i n it i a l investment,
they may be willing to "underwrite" the cost of doing business
here and submit a 1 o w initial bid. A s time goes on, th.ey would
expect to gat their investment back plus interest.
Sanitary City Disposal Company is a local company r^o* .,_ in the
local economy. It has served the Loc -,i community well For over 6v
years. It is very involves in the community (from: Chamber of
Commerce activities to youth, groups activities; and vary
responsive to its needs. Mr. Vaccarezza and his staff arc-,
committed to modern and e f f i c i e n t s s r v i c e for- our community- from
computarization to automa-teao curbsioc pickup where it makes
sense- at a fair and reasonable cost to the community. The
community in which he grew up and in which he now raises his
family. Sound business judgment would dictate keeping these
proven in mind when you are considering en
alternative "low- sounding" initial bic:.
Therefore, the Lodi City Council would do the community a very
good ssrvice to retain the Sanitary City Disposal Company. A
company whose vital interests are closely related to the best
interests of tho Lodi community. By coing so, they would retain
their ability to directly communicate with the ultimata decision -
makers, they would retain many, many thousands of dollars in the
Local economy, and they would ensure modern and efficient service
for the community at a fair price.

Dear Members of the Lodi City Council,
Lodi SA 95240 1209; Jb'� 5039
It has been brought to my attention that the contract for trash collection for
the City of Lodi is possibly going to be put out to bid. Please take note
that I would would like to see the current garbage company, California
Waste, stay as Lodi's refuse company. California Waste puts much back
into our community, not only with their retail purchasing power, but
employment for many people and the numerous service orientated deeds
they do. My grandfather and my father also conducted retail businesses in
Lodi and they always preached "buy local". I would like to see my trash
dollar being spent in the city that it's being paid to!
Sincerely,
Lane Pearson

Bear Council Members:
It has come to my attention that the council may be considering
bringing in outside refuse management firms to bid the refuse
collection contract for the City of Lodi. It is surprising to
me that there can be any justification for such an action.
I would like to first emphasize the quality of service I have
had as a customer over the last 30 years, both at my residence
and place of business. Garbage pickup is on time, done in a
considerate and orderly manner and, for the cost in relation to
the service, is the most reasonable city service.
Cal Waste has brought to local firms a great deal of business over
the last 15 years and has continued to be a loyal Company seeking
to provide the best possible service to their clients. It is
essential for the strength of the community to keep money made
locally here as Cal Waste has done over the years.
Lastly, after observing the troubles that both our County and
neighboring City of Stockton have experienced with outside refuse
firms, I am greatly concerned that we may be heading for the same
situation rather than learning from their mistakes.
I strongly urge you to renew the contract with Cal Waste and strive
to retain the high standard of service at an equitable cost.
I will be looking forward to hearing of the outcome of the council's
decision.
Si eerely,

Dear Sirs:
I hove been a resident of this area for the past twenty-two years, and
for the past fourteen have been an independent ayent for Kar Products.
During this time I have become acquainted with California Waste Company,
and find them to be a company concerned with the needs of our community,
and to have invested both time and money in support of other local
businesses and interests. During the past year they spent $ 6,938 with
me to provide necessary supplies for their firm.
Certainly support from the community should be focused in many directions,
including the scpport of community leaders, and continued support of
this firm would be an indication of your desire to use local businesses
to meet the needs of Local citizens.

Re: California Waste Removal Systens
Nor Cal Filter Company has been a supplier to California
Waste Removal Systems for the past six years and has enjoyed
the opportunity to provide goods and services in the Lodi area.
Our company has always supported the concept of local
business and has multiple locations serving various local
markets in the Northern California area.
It has been brought to our attention that the Council may
entertain the possibility of contracting to an outside national
firm for waste removal in the Lodi area.
May we join with others in expressing our support of the
concept of maintaining local business and thus keepi.ng the
dollars and employment in the hands of a company which has the
interest of the community as well as its own interests in mind
when it makes decisions relative to the operation of its local
unit.
As has been demonstrated in recent years, the life blood
of our economy is the existence of small business which feeds
the vitaliry of our national productivity and offers local
control regarding the future of employment and dicates decisions
based on community needs as well as corporate concerns.
We therefore, respectivly, recommend to the council the
extension of the current contract with Californi,i Was�-� System
in deference to contracting with an outside firm which coulO
result in loss of jobs, non -local purchasing and "out of towW'
decisions without regard to local needs.

Gentlemen:
Our valued customer Ca ifornia Waste Removal Systems an, Lodi Sanitary City
Disposal Company have indicated that their contract to serve the citizens
of the City of Lodi expires in June 1.989, and is up for reconsideration by
your council.
W have been favored with loan and deposit relaLionships with the Firm since
1984, and all of our deaI.ings with this locally owned and operated service
have been most satisfactory.
We are aware of the long service they have provided to Lodi and San Joaquin
County, the benefits they provide to the local economy and the quality of
service provided.
We sincerely recommend that favorable consideration be granted them in your
deliberations as an acknowledgement of the past and future services of the
firms.

Dear Cooncil Members:
it has been brought to my attention that the City of Lodi may
consider allowing bids for waste pickvp in the city by com-
panies outside our local area, I believe this to be a major
error on the part of the council for the following reason.
1' Outside companies bidding for service for this area would
be bidding with only a profit factor as a motive, they would
return nothing to the community whether it be participation
in this community's affairs or planning for tfuture of
Lodi's waste proble�s'
2. It would impact a local company that has been doing an
excellent job for the city for close to sixtv years' This
company employs locally, shops locaIly, and lives in the
area they service' '
-'
`-
3' It has the potential to cost the economy of Lodi large
sums of money. Cal Waasto has spent over $1,200 dollar=
alone with our business' We could not be assured that an out
of the area bidder would do the same' This local spending by
Cal Waste also insures that our locally employed personnel
also have a job'
4' The management of Cal Waste has demonstrated their com-
mitMent to the needs of the city of Lodi both by working
actively with the city and active participation in community
affairs through the Chamber of Commerce and other local com-
munity oriented organizations' I am sure that an ou+side
company would not do the same- If you have any doubts, con-
sider how active the management of Mervyn,s, Lucky's, Safe-
way,'McDonalds, RaleV's, etc. are in this city. Alt these
companies have demonstrated is an expert ability to take both
profits and operating capital away from the local area.
In conclusion, I do not wish nor do I believe it is in the
city's best interest to consider opening Lodi's waste service
'to anyone ot er thanlocal company.

Te Whom It May Concern,
I am the owner of Ccrky's Tractor World in Stockton, California.
I have been doing business with California V-1aste for 5 years. We
have established a good business relationship over the past few
years. I nave appreciated their business and loyalty to me. In
this last year of 87' they have spent with nrP, in excess of $20,000.00.
If a large national corporation would take over I am sure I would
loose out on sales as the larger corporations do not bother with the
smaller business man. I have had experience in sales for the last
26 years, owning my own business for the last 3 years.
I would also like to mention my wife and I are both third gener-
Lodi area residents.
In my opinion I would like to see local people taking care of
local peoples needs. 4 opinion is to keep California Waste in Lodi,
to keep our local people employed and our local businesses supported.

Dear Councilmembers,
During the last few days it has come to our attention that you are considering using a largeout of state firm
to do your refuse collection in the future. We urge you to reconsider.
INACOMP has been providing California Waste with personal computers for over one year. We are a
south Sacramento minority owned small business. Approximately ten percent of our business is done from
Elk Grove to Modesto and we have many accounts in the Lodi area. Cal Y.'aste is one of these accounts and
we value their repeat business.
The importation of an outside business into Lodi would not help us. They would probably bring in
equipment from their homeoffice. The potential loss of this business could exceed $10,000.00 annually.
In addition a small business often docs a beter job than a large one since each customer is handled specially.
Therefore service is often better for allpanics concerned.
Again we urge you to reconsider. Keep local businesses buying from local businesses.
Sincerely,
Steve Arostcguy

RE: RENEWAL AND EXTENSION OFF
CALIFORNIA WASTE REFUSE
COLLECIION CONTRACT
I an a local business owner in the city of Lodi. I've been doing business
with California Waste since 1985. A local business supports the area by
providing local employment, using Iocal vendors and facilities. This is vital
to our community. It's been my experience big corporations buy in volume from
large corporations and bank out of the area.
As a customer having moved to Lodi from the Ssn Francisco Penrinsula and using
the corporate facility there, I find California Waste's service, equipment and
rates to be excellent. A large corporation does not provide the same service,
to them, you are not a valued customer.
In short, I see no advantage to award this contract to an unknown corporation.
Quite frankly"if it ain't broke don't fis it"!
Sincerely,
Bill ater�

Att.n: James Pinkerton
Dear Mr. Pinkerton,
I am currently living in Lodi which is located i-,i.thi.n two miles
of the Goehring Meat Company. The Goehring Meat Company is the
site of the groundwater contaraination apparently caused by brine,
a solution of salt and water used by Goehring to soak and clean
meats.
My first question is why you; the Lodi City Council, will not allow
the Goehring Meat Company tib dump its waste into the city's sewer
system? Secondly, why not 'cork with the Company, considering they
employ 550 people and are the scoong largest company in Lodi.?
I think it is commendable to see new advancements in the area of
agriculture but r.ot if the company can not afford it. It is
important for the Lodi City Council to work together with the
Meat Company. Nobody wants to see the company to close its doors,
Put president Ben qoehring will not delay if his rcyuest is not
met. If the company does close it w i 11 put alot of Lodi residents
out of jobs and drive them to unemployment. I wish you would
consider the points I've made and take a closer look at what might
happen to the community if the Meat plant closes.
Sincer .1y,
Shelbi Dobler

Attention: City Councilman and
City Manager
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Attached to this letter is a copy of an article from your
local newspaper. The owners of the Rio Blanco Ranch, located
adjacent to the city of Lodi Sewage Facility, are extremely
fearful of how salt contamination can harm the Rio Blanco Ranch.
If the Lodi City Council adopts a policy of allowing water,
heavy in salts, to enter the headwaters of White Slough it could
cause Rio Blanco great damage. The contaminated water would
enter Rio Blanco's pumps that irrigate 1,000 acres of highly
productive lands planted in various crops.
Rio Blanco Ranch would be forced at once to hire people to
monitor the contents of Lodi disposal water. At the same time we
would be forced to request the Water Quality Control Board of the
State of California, San Joaquin County Water Specialists and the
Lcs Angeles Department of Water and Power to help police the Lodi
Sewage Facility.
Rio Blanco Ranch is very reluctant to get involved in any
dispute with the City of Lodi. Your present employees have been
very honest and fair with us and we would not want to jeopardize
that relationship.
However, if the City of Lodi proceeds through improper
decisions, we, at Rio Blanco Ranch will not allow our life's
efforts to be destroyed.

SUMMARY
The following is an evaluation ,of the several activities which,
together, comprise the solid waste collection and transportation
,l network for the City of Lodi. The evaluation took the form of an
,! operational survey of residential, commercial and industrial waste
collection, review of the transfer operation, and of the woad fuel
cornposting and recycling operation, Rates for service based on
the Contractor's 1986-87 and 1987-88 budgets have been calculated
based on the costs of operation, profit, disposal charge and
municipal franchise fee.
Rates for each type of service are examined and discussed. The
report also contains a draft Franchise Agreement and a draft
update of the City Code which have already been provided, The
Agreement suggests a franchise which can be extended year -by -year,
rhereby resulting in a "rolling" multi-year agreement, The
franchise nay be terminated for cause, or allowed to expire in a
set period,
A key element of the recommendations for 1987-88 is the inclusion
of industrial refuse service in the franchise. Commercial
container rental is also included in the recommended 1987-88
rates, This would bring all solid waste activities under
franchise. The Draft Agreement calls for all rates to be reviewec
on a periodic basis with intervening adjustments based on a cost
of living factor.
Residential rates have beenprepared for a continuation of rear
yard service, and alternatively, for curbside wastewheclers.
Rates have also been computed for commercial container collection
service including container rental, and for collection of
industrial roll -off bins. ,The residential rate may include
-- support from other users.
It has not been recommended that the public support continuation
of either the cornposting project or the wood fuel reclamation
operation. The Contractor has terminated both of these operations
and does not plan to undertake them unless economically and
practically feasible. The recycling center is proposed to stay in
operation.
All rates have been computed to indicate the amounts required to
cover actual costs, and the impact of 8% franchise fees (15% as
current, less 7% paid to the County) , various rates of -profit, and
$2.00 per cubic yard dump fee (replaces the 7; formerly remitted
to the County).
If per—can residential rates were adopted without support from
elsewhere in the system, the unsupported rates would be $9.07,
$11.87 and $14.68 respectively for lr 2 and 3 can servics at a
contractor's profit margin of 102 before taxes.
A curbside wastewheeler service is. also examined. Unsupported
rates of $14.00 per month are justified at 102 profit before
taxes, The report describes one sample of a supported rate, $9.50
per month, and the resultant commercial and_ industrial.
contributions which would be necessary.
Commercial rates are recommended to about double including
provision for $2.00 per cubic yard dump fee at the landfill and
container rental. Rates vary based on the number of containers
and the -frequency: of collection.
It is likely that some policy decisions will be required td
establish allowable contractor's profit, type of residential
service to be rendered, and the amount and manner of provision of
any infusion of funds from other users to help support residential
rates. Sample calculations are provided which, together with the
information contained in the various tables, can be used td
determine alternative rates to the specific examples shown.

Policy Discussion on Solid Waste Collection, Transport and Disposal
The topic for discussion at the Shirtsleeve Session to be held Tuesday, November
17, 1987, is the City of Lodi 's refuse collection service. INA Dave Vaccarezza,
of Sanitary City Disposal Co., Inc., the City's contract hauler, will be in
attendance to participate in the discussion, answer questions, and generally
assist the City Council by providing whatever information on his company's
operations the Council should desire.
Early last year the County of San Joaquin advised all haulers and agencies in
the County that it would be uniformly imposing a $2.00 per cubic yard gate fee
on all refuse brought to the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. The $2.00 charge
went into effect for the City of Lodi industrial customers in July, 1986. At
the request of the City Council in the spring of last year, the County agreed to
delay the imposition of the $2.00 gate fee for the commercial and residential
customers in the City of Lodi until January 1, 1987. Since then the gate fee
has been increased to $2.45 per cubic yard effective September I, 1987. The
reason for the request was to allow the City time to conduct an in-depth
evaluation of the City's refuse service and rate structure. On the staff
recommendation, and with N k Vaccarezza in agreement, the City retained the firm
of Eljumaily-Butler Associates, of Santa Rosa, recognized experts in the field
of waste management, to perform this inview and evaluation. The project leader
was N1 Duane Butler, a senior partner, well respected in this specialized
field. The firm came highly recommended. This undertaking was a ponderous one,
and as a result, extremely frustrating to all those involved. The assignment
was not an easy one and the development of the necessary information was very
time consuming. The report was distributed to the City Council earlier this
year .

The purpose of this Snirtsleeve Session i s to provide the City Council with an
opportunity to discuss policy issues and of the various elements that go into
development of a rate structure. A number of policy items will have to be
addressed in the process. Among these are:
Do vie bring the industrial community under the franchise?
(at the present time it i s not)
There are advantages and disadvantages to thio action. On the
flus side is the fact it gives the City Council greater
exibility in setting the rate schedule throughout the
residential, commercial and industrial communities now and in the
years to come. It also provides uniformity of service and
prevents "rate wars" in that segment of our community. The down
side is that it eliminates the freedom of choice of hauler for the
industrial segment. But that freedom does not now exist in the
residential and commercial segments. The matter of reusable
materials and by-products will also have to be addressed.
Yhat should be the term of the franchise? Five years? Ten?
Twenty? Should it be a rolling seven-year franchise with the
abi 1 i ty to extend year -by -year to a maximum of 15 years?
The advantages of a shorter franchise period is that it gives the
City Council the opportunity to review the refuse operation at
more frequent intervals and has a tendency to hold any hauler more
accountable for his operation. The disadvantage is that it does
not foster the kind of stability one would like to see in this
type of operation. Obviously, the reverse can be said of the
longer franchise period. The stability is there, b -t is it in
the best interest of the City and its citizens to enter into very
long -tern: commitments? Of course, contracts can always be
terminated for cause, but that is usually a laborious and complex
legal undertaking. The consultant's report recommends a rolling
seven-year Franchise.
Should the residential rates be partially underwritten by
commercial and/or industrial service?
If there is to be some support for the residential rate,.what
should be the level of that support?
Should vie continue with rear yard service (current service
levels) or should vie consider the implementation of mandatory
curbside automated or semi -automated service?

Members of the City Council

It is easy to look at "the going rate" in other communities in the area and
establish a rate structure based on that approach. In some cities its done
primarily in that fashion and that is not necessarily all bad. In fact, when
all is said and done, there must be some consideration for what will be
acceptable to the community, sophisticated formulae notwithstanding. However,
the various components of the rate structure will vdry from one city to another
and a direct comparison can be misleading.
For the City Council's information, the following rate information is presented:
Residential Refuse (one -can service)
1981 $3.85
I982 4.05 + 5.22
1983 4.45 + 9.9%
I984 4.87 + 9.4%
The current rate for residential refuse (one -can service} is that which was
established by the City Council in 1984. It should be noted that the rate for a
commercial one -yard bin was adjusted during the years noted above at
approximately the same percentages.
The purpose of Tuesday morning's session is not to get into the specifics of a
rate adjustment. That topic and the accompanying refuse collection ordinance
and franchise agreement will be brought to the City Council at a later date,
hopefully in the immediate future. Rather, as I mentioned earlier, the purpose
of this meeting is to continue our review of the overall operation and to devote
some time to the censideration of what are key policy issues.
