does not have adequate staff /time to accommodate the District in this aspect of the
video. Discussion ensued on various options to investigate.
Standardized Container Program
Mr. Fauth presented a timeline for the standardized container program including an
overview of progress made to date in the process of selecting contractor to manufacture
the containers. Staff is in the process of establishing testing procedures to better
evaluate life expectancies of the 18 containers submitted to the District in response to
the initial Request for Proposal. Mr. Hamers recommended presenting the data to the
Board of Directors at the regular meeting on November 9, 2000 and suggesting a
Special Meeting be set for possible decision making on the purchase of standardized
containers.
City of Costa Mesa Recycling Programs
Curbside Trash Collection
Mr. Hamers reported on a proposed amendment by the City of Costa Mesa to Title 8
requiring parcels with five or more residences to be serviced on site. According to a
joint field study by Staff and Costa Mesa Disposal, the District has 129 of 168 parcels
that can be serviced on site. The remaining 39 properties will require an exemption
from the City and will continue to be serviced using curbside service. Proposed flyer
