A. General. Pursuant to Section 49520 of the Public Resources Code, a current collection service provider may continue to provide collection services within the district for a period of five years from the date that the city provides notice to the current collection service provider, pursuant to Section 49520, of the exclusive franchise established by this article for providing collection services within the Old Sacramento collection district.
B. Duties and Obligations. A current collection service provider who continues to provide collection services within the Old Sacramento collection district shall (1) possess and maintain a current and valid private refuse collector's permit issued pursuant to sections 13.10.80(D) and 13.10.150 or a private collector's permit issued pursuant to chapter 13.24; (2) comply with the terms and conditions and requirements of its private refuse collector's permit or private collector's permit; and (3) comply with the requirements of this chapter, including, but not limited to, the provisions concerning frequency and quality of service.
C. Rates. Pursuant to this article, the city intends to enter into a collection services agreement with a single contractor to provide collection services within the Old Sacramento collection district. Pursuant to this agreement, the contractor will be authorized to charge specified fees and charges to owner(s) and tenant(s) within the district for collection services. Pursuant to Section 49521 of the Public Resources Code, current collection service providers continuing to provide collection services pursuant to subsection A of this section and Section 49520 of the Public Resources Code may be required by the city to charge rates that are comparable to those established by the agreement.
1. Upon execution of the collection services agreement with a single contractor, the city council may, by resolution, establish comparable rates and charges to be charged by current collection service providers. Notice of the adoption of the resolution and the comparable rates shall be given to each of the current collection service providers, who shall, within sixty (60) days, adjust rates and charges to the extent necessary to be consistent with the council approved rates and charges.
2. Should the city council establish comparable rates pursuant to this provision, if and when the city council amends the rates and charges which the single contractor is authorized to charge under the collection services agreement, it shall also amend the rates and charges which the current collection services providers may charge so they are comparable to the amended rates and charges which the single contractor is authorized to charge.
