R E C I T A L S A. Due to the impending expiration of existing agreements, on August 3, 2020, the City of Palo Alto (“City”) issued a Request for Proposals seeking proposals from qualified companies to provide Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Services (the Solid Waste Processing Agreement), with the intent for new garbage processing and disposal services to begin January 1, 2022; and B. The City has evaluated all proposals submitted and has determined that Greenwaste Recovery, Inc. has proposed to provide the required processing and disposal services in a manner and on terms that are in the best interests of the City, taking into account (a) its qualifications and experience, (b) its available solid waste and composting processing capacity, (c) its innovative processing Services (d) and overall cost-effectiveness of providing such services; and C. The City prepared an Initial Study and Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for the Solid Waste Processing Agreement (the “Project”), in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, together with state and local guidelines implementing the Act, all as amended to date (collectively “CEQA”); and D. The Initial Study/Negative Declaration evaluated potential environmental impacts associated with the Project that would change where the residential and commercial solid waste collected within the City is processed as well as the final landfill location for any residuals to increase the City’s diversion rate for materials placed in the black solid waste containers; and E. Public notice was provided and the draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration were made available for public review and comment from February 5, 2021 through February 25, 2021. The City considered the comments received during the public review period and prepared a final Initial Study and Negative Declaration; and F. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based are on file in the Department of Public Works, located at 250 Hamilton Avenue, 6th Floor, Palo Alto, CA 94301, and are available for inspection by any interested person at that location; and G. On May 24, 2021, the City Council considered the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, and any comments and testimony offered by all persons wishing to comment at a regularly noticed public meeting.
