MEETING DATE: June 16, 2004 PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to allocate $25,000 in Public Benefit Program funds for Lodi's first annual Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Teris LLC/MSE Environmental to provide disposal and recycling service for this program. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day is another in our series environmental programs funded Lodi's Public Benefits Program. The intent of this new effort is to assist Lodi electric utility customers with the proper disposal and recycling of aging and energy inefficient computer monitors, computer hardware and television sets. The program is also designed to showcase and promote the purchase of EnergyStar ® computers and television sets. The program specifics include the following: ➢ the event will take place on Saturday, August 14, 2004, 7:00am until 10:00am; ➢ the location of the event will be the Public Parking lot adjacent to the Kofu Park Tennis Courts on Ham Lane (in close proximity to Lodi's Municipal Service Center); ➢ eligible customers- in order to drop-off an old computer and/or television set for disposal and recycling, customers must show a current California drivers license, as well as a copy of their City of Lodi utility bill or statement; ➢ computer software, television antennas, cable boxes, and cardboard boxes will not be accepted for disposal or recycling; ➢ upon the disposal of their computer and/or television set, the first one -hundred fifty (150) eligible customers will receive a coupon for $50.00 off the purchase of one (1) EnergyStar ® computer system or television set; the energy efficient home electronics product must be purchased from a Lodi retailer. In order to successfully complete this project, Electric Utility staff is recommending the use of Teris LLC/MSE Environmental. This organization completed a similar recycling project in the spring of 2004 for San Joaquin County's Public Works Department, and has coordinated numerous household hazardous waste recycling projects for municipalities throughout central and northern California.

Dixon' Flynn, City Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to allocate Public Benefit Program funds for Lodi's first annual Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day, and authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Teris LLC/MSE Environmental to provide disposal and recycling services for this program ($25,000) (EUD) June 16, 2004 Page 2 of 2 Environmental is considered a leader in the recycling industry in the United States, and maintains three field offices in California (Benicia, Camarillo and Wilmington). Due to their extensive background and work with municipal agencies in California, Electric Utility staff respectfully requests that the Lodi City Council dispense with going out to bid pursuant to Lodi Municipal Code 3.20.070. This project, which promotes energy conservation, also assists customers with the disposal and proper recycling of aging home electronics products. (Note: in discussing our proposed project with staff from other City departments, as well as San Joaquin County Public Works personnel, many of these aging computers, monitors and television sets are illegally dumped in alley ways, residential neighborhoods, behind shopping centers and stories, etc., rather than being properly discarded.) Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of the Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day as a qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
