Orco According to the terms of our contract with Orco

Adjustment Compensation Calculation," the basic rate should be
adjusted as of July 1, 1976.
Mr. John Lindley, Orco Disposal Service, Inc., reported
on three items of concern to him: 1) future availability
of the present dump site, it appears to be reaching its
peak capacity; 2) construction of multiple residential
property rather than single - family dwellings increasing
the volume "of trash to be picked up at these locations,
while only being compensated at half the rate for the
additional units; 3p the rate adjustment based on the
Consumer Price Index is not meeting his needs.
The Board directed staff to check on the conditions at
the dump, and if action is needed to improve the conditions
at the dump, to proceed to contact the appropriate County
office. The Board indicated that they could not act on
a rate adjustment other than the CPI adjustment provided
for in the contract without reviewing the substantiating
