~.i /' MEMORANDUM
August 19, 1992
TO: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
FROM: George Gonzales, Community Development Coordinate
SUBJECT: Amendment for First Quarter FY 1992-93 '
This department has recently received a request from Clinica Sierra Vista for CDBG
assistance to develop a project in the Lakeview area. Currently, Clinica is operating
their health care program at 231 Baker Street. They have outgrown this facility and
are looking for a new location.
Clinica needs a minimum of 1 1/2 - 2 acres to accommodate their proposed 10,000 -
15,000 square febt medical facility. The City currently owns a vacant 125 x 150 foot
parcel at 823 Lakeview Avenue (south of Claredon Street on the east side of
Lakeview). Clinica's proposal requests assistance in acquiring the parcels on the east
side of Lakeview between Potomac and Clarendon, which includes the City owned
property.
According to our preliminary calculations the City's 125 foot frontage is valued at
$32,000 or approximately $260 per linear feet of frontage. Based on the above figure,
the cost to acquire the remaining 275 linear feet is approximately $71,500. The
acquisition of this property would not require any relocation. The only other costs
would be those associated with escrow, appraisals and staff direct delivery costs --
approximately $30,000. Since the majority of their clients reside in their jurisdiction,
Clinica would also seek matching CDBG funds (in an amount yet to be determined)
from the County Community Development Department. Clinica's anticipated budget
for the construction ,of their new facility is $1.5 million. They will be generating these
funds from their own sources. Councilmember Lynn Edwards has been informed of
Clinica's interest in developing in the Lakeview area.
Another project which would be included in the amendment is the Tulare Curb &
Gutter Project. Ninety-two thousand dollars is being recommended to complete the
Tulare Curb & Gutter Project. This project was.originally deleted from the proposed
91-92 Capital Improvement Projects funded with CDBG funds because of ADA
compliance requirements. The balance of the funds will be used to make a number of
minor modifications resulting from the 6% cost allocation proposed by the Finance
Department.

The East Bakersfield Community Health center
Construction Project
Executive Summary
The East Bakersfield CommunitY Health Center (EBCHC), owned and operated
by C//n/ca Sierra Vista, is an existing facility currently located at 234 Baker Street,
Bakersfield. This medical facility provides comprehensive primary care services to
the Iow-moderate income populations residing in the southeastern urban areas of
metropofitan Bakersfield. Clients have access to a multi-speciality medical practice
which includes Family Practice, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine and OB/GYN, as well as
other on-site services such as lab, pharmacy, perinatal care and education classes,
substance abuse per/natal counseling, .individual and family counseling, nutritional
counseling and education classes, WIC (Women, Infants & Children) supplemental
food program, HIV testing and counseling, and healthcare services for homeless
'clients with chronic medical problems.
EBCHC first opened its doors in 1984 and since that time has seen
tremendous growth and demand for services. Today, EBCHC's current facilities can~
no longer accommodate the growth and staff are having to make haled decisions on
how many new patients each service is able to accommodate. To resolve this
situation and to keep pace with the demand for services by the' ever-growing
population, Cli'nica is proposing to construct a new $1.5 million, 10,000-15,000 sq.ft.
medical COmplex providing enhanced pdmary care, preventive and education services
on-site.
Clinica is currently reviewing available property that is minimally I 1/2 - 2 acres
in size to accommodate the proposed facility and parking requirements. Property -
meeting these expectations has been identified in the Lakeview area situated on
Clarendon and Lakeview streets and allows the EBCHC to continue to provide
· services inits current service area. This property is partially owned by the City and'
by three other private owners.
We are proposing to the Bakersfield Community Development Corp. that they
assist in the acquisition of this property and grant the property to Clinica. This award ·
lends the equity· needed when Clinica applies for County CDBG funds and for other
construction monies.
This partnership will bring the needed "shot-in-the-arm" to the revitalization of
the Lakeview area, and we look forward to being a "pathfinder"in this endeavor.

Attachment E
Clinica Sierra Vista is a non-profit organization receiving federal funds from
section 329 (Migrant), Section 330 (CHC), and Section 340 (Homeless) of the Public
Health Services to assist in subsidizing revenue sources. It was created out of the
unmet health care needs of m/grant and seasonal farmworkers. The Kern County
Health Committee, Inc. was prompted in creating the program primarily because of the
inacCessibility of farmworkers to primary health care resources.
In 1971, Clinica de los Campesinos, a non-profit corporation based in Lamont,
began proViding services to the area's population, housed in a trailer situated in the
park. In 1972, the program was moved to a storefront building, and in. 1975, a
permanent facility was constructed and' the organization's name changed to Clinica
Sierra Vista, Inc.
.1973-1977proved to be a dramatic growth period in which the service area of
Clinica Sierra Vista (Lamont/Arvin) was designated as a Health Manpower Shortage
Area (HMSA), allowing the area to be eligible for physician staffing from the National
Health Service Corp (NHSC); two education/preventive programs - Women, Infants
and Children (WIC) and the Maternal Child Outreach Program (MCOP) - were brought
on board; a computer system to handle accounting processes and data gathering was
implemented; and a special grant to initiate dental services was received. A dental
facilitY was completed and services began in' 1977.
During 1978-1981, the computer system was upgraded to an IBM-34 to provide
additional data capabilities, an additional 5,000 sq. ft. was'constructed to accommodate
expanding programs and services in medical,J WIC, and accounting, and the
Lamont/Arvin area was designated as a Dental HMSA, allowing the recruitment of
NHSC dentists.
In 1978, the computer system was again upgraded, to an IBM-38, to provide
on-line capabilities to all satellite clinic sites.
To date, Clinica Sierra' Vista, Inc., operates six centers, and oversees
operations of the Toiyabe Indian Health Service program as requested by the federal
government.
The first satellite clinic opened in 1978 and was named the Frazier Mountain
Community Health Center, providing full-time medical care to the isolated rural
communities of Frazier Park and Lebec. This Particular area is unique in that it is a
one person provider clinic for the entire service area and there are no hospitals in the
immediate vicinity. The physician practicing at this satellite is truly the "hometown
doc".
The second satellite, the Kern River Health Center, opened in 1982. Originally
located in the Kernville area and operating out of tWo modular buildings, the growth in
patient population and services created the' need for a larger, more modern facility. In
1989, the center moved its operations into a new 7,000 sq. ft., $1.2 million facility
located in Wofford Heights. The new facility now accommodates increased exam
rooms, laboratory, x-raY, future pharmacy, and a large conference roorfi available to
community groups for Use.
The third satellite clinic, the East Bakersfield Community Health Center, located
in southeast urban Bakersfield, opened in 1984. Funding for this site was initially ..
'received from the Jobs Bills, but has since been declared a Medically Underserved
Area (MUA) and receives.funding under the Community Health Center program.
.Dudng' 1987, · increased growth in patient population resulted in a substantial
remodeling of the 10,000 sq. ft.. facility to accommodate expanded Services and
programs.
Our fourth site is the Death Valley Health Center located in Shoshone, 'lnyo
County. In 1985, we were contaCted by the Death Valley Health Center which had
recently Separated from its sponsoring organization, at.which time we officially became
their grantee and operator. This "frontier' rural site serves a vast area encompassing.
Death Valley National Monument and SOuthern Inyo County with patients traveling
100 miles to receive medical care at Death Valley Health' Center. Currently, the
COmmunity and staff are beginning the process to renovate and remodel a permanent,
larger facility. Completion will be mid-1992.
The McFarland Community Health Center became our fifth satellite clinic and
began services in 1988. With' increased media focus on the "cancer cluSters" in
McFarland, a side-effect was also'the illumination of the lack of accessible healthcare
services to the community area. As a result of this attention, we were approached by
the community and the State in providing primary medical services. The McFarland
Community Health Center was granted "intermittent" status permitting ~he facility to be
opened one' day per week, ~fter securing public/corporate donations and State
Funding. In 1989, the center's operating hours expanded to three days per week in
order to accommodate the demands for primary care services from the community
area. Currently, we are working towards securing permanent funding to provide
continued services of the McFarland Community Health Center.
The Indian Health Services program we monitor is the Toiyabe Indian Health
Program, operating three locations (Bishop, Lone Pine, and Coleville) in the Owens
Valley of Eastern Sierra. Since 1985, we have been asked by DHHS to assume
Partial responsibility for the non-indian operations of this project.
Demographically, our patients are ethnically composed of Hispanic,
Caucausion, Black, Indochinese, Native American, Arab,.Philippine, and Indian; and
are Iow to moderate income, often benefitting from our sliding fee scale. All sources of
payment are accepted including Medi-Cal, Medicare, and private insurance.
Programs and services which are in place to meet the growing needs of our
patients are comprehensive primary medical services, dental Services, pharmacy,
laboratory, x-ray, WIC (Nutrition), Clinical Nutrition, MCOP (prenatal care), Information
& Education (teen family life education), FCCS (family counseling), child abuse
treatment/prevention; pregnant substance abuse patients, HIV education and testing,
homeless health care, social services and transportation.
The history of Clinica Sierra Vista, Inc. has shown enormous growth since its
inception 20 years ago and as we look to the future, we strive to remain innovative
and creative in our defivery of services and diversity of programs to meet the needs
and demands of our patients.
Clinica Sierra Wsta is required by the mandates of federal and state funding to
provide services in a non-religious and non-political fashion.
Clinica Sierra Vista is experienced in receiving numerous federal, state and
local grants.

BY:(~ MIKE SIDES
SANITATION SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO REFER BENA LANDFILL DISTANCE RATE OFFSET FOR
KERN REFUSE, INC. TO THE BUDGET & FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR
CONSIDERATION
The recent closure of the China Grade Sanitary Landfill has
resUlted in additional mileage and time impacts as Kern Refuse,
Inc. is now.utilizing the new Bona Landfill located East of the-
City. As-provided in Agreement No. 91-71, the City Sanitation
Division .has -reviewed the rate impacts at the request of Kern
Refuse, Inc. Section IV of the aforementioned Agreement provides
that "increases or decreases in the distances to disposal sites or - -
waste processing.facilities" is cause to review and adjust rates.
Several meetings"'and'conversations have'been Conducted, and
attached "work .sheet"~'.submitted by Kern Refuse,..is provided .for
information purposes. The request from Kern. Refuse reflects an
adjustment of eight'~cents per month on :residential rates, with an
equivalent percentage"(1.02%) to be applied to'commercial 'and
rolloff 'rates;~'recently implemented rate adjustments negotiated
with Kern County resulted in County residential rates increasing
sixteen cents per month.
In checking with the City Attorney's Office,'the existing Agreement
does-not require any modification in order for the Budget & Finance
~ommittee to grant a rate adjustment for the increased mileage to
the disposal site. The Water & Sanitation Department requests this
issue-be referred at the earliest possible time to the Budget &
Finance Committee for consideration and action.
~ ..... -.~ ~ .. BAKERSFIELD
WORK SHEET
KATE CHANGE FOR
Problem: To determine the'monthly cost of trucking a load of refuse
the extra distance to Benal and to apportion that cost back to the
individual customer'. _
STEPS:
1. DETERMINE THE EXTRA DISTANCE
According to the original study by the planning department of
the County of Kern the increase in distance between-China Grade and
Bena was 6.5 miles each way. This was some fears ago, and was based
on the centroid being at the intersection of Hwy 58 and Hwy 99.
For Purposes of this report, the route 'was driven by City of
Bakersfield personnel and by Dan Panero of Kern Refuse.
The distance to the gate at Bena was found to be 17.4 miles.
The distance to the historical gate at China Grade was 12.6, a
difference of 4.8 miles.
The mile distance difference is assumed to also be valid for
a 4th and P street centroid.
2. DETERMINE DRIVE TIME
It is acknowledged that driving will be on surface streets to
get from the neighborhoods to Freeway 58, and on the freeway
i{self. For the purposes of this report, it is assumed that the
extra 4.8 miles (or 4.6 using the new China Grade gate) are at the
end of the run on Highway 58. The speed .limit for trucks on this
portion is 55 MPH. For purposes of this report, it is also. assumed
'that fully ~oaded' trucks will average 50 MPH enroute'to Ben~, and
55 MPH when empty on the return trip. The average speed for the
trip'would be 52.5 MPH
At 52.5 MPH, the round trip takes a minimum of an extra 10.5
minutes.
(Note: Approximately the last 1.5 miles to the landfill will be
surface road, so 6 of the 9.6 miles are freeway driving)
4. EXTRA TIME PER MONTH
The average extra monthly time is arrived at by multiplying
the amount of extra time for one trip by the numbe~' of average
trips in a month.
To arrive at the average number of times per month that
a truck will travel the extra 9.6 miles we assume twice a week pick
up for 101 days. (104 days less 3 holidays = 101 annual pick up
days. Divide the 10~ days by 12.months, and you have an average
of 8.42 pickups per months.
To get the extra time,, multiply 9.6 x 1.14 = !1 minutes
Multiply the !1 minutes by the 8.42 average number of monthly
. pigkups, and y. ou have 92.62 minutes per month, or 1.54 hours per
..... month.'
5. HOURLY RATE
For the purposes of this report, we need to establish an
hourly rate.. "
The hourly rate for the County of Kern is $86.86 which is used
for situations where a bin or household rate has not been al work.
es~abiished. Usually in a rural area or for speci
While it is a fair r~te for the service rendered, it does.not
reflect the City 6f Bakersfield service.
We could adjust the. county .rate to fit city service and use
it as a guide. ·
-A better approach for this specific study would be to
determine an hourly rate !or the haulers for the City 'of
Bakersfield using an income method based on present city rates·
To use this method, you would take the number of customers on
a route and multiply that figure by the monthly househ°ld rate.
This would give you the monthly route income.
For example, a route of 450 customers at the present monthly
rate of $7.82 would equal $3519; the route income.
If you divide the route income by the average number of
monthly pickups (8.42) you get the route income for one day.
($417.93)
If you divide the route income by the total elapsed time on
the road from the yard to the neighborhood; to the land fill; and
back to the yard; you would have the hourly rate.
For a route of. 450, the average elapsed time on the road is
6.5 hours.
The hourly rate would be $417.93 divided by 6.5 = $'64.30
6. INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLD .INCREASE
Multiply the hourly, rate of $64.3~ times the eXtra monthly
1.54 hours = $99.02 (the cost for one month)
Divide the monthly cost of $99.02 by 450, the number
customers on the route and you get the amount of the increase for
an individual household 22 cents = 2.8% increase on $7.82 rate
Note: There are some adjustment considerations to this.figure
that are. addressed later in this report. The adjusted rate
increase would be 8 cents.
HOW CAN WE APPLY TH~S CONCEPT TO COMMERCIAL?
We Can use the 2.8 percent increase for households across the
board, and then use the volUme relatio'nship as a cross check.
The.~ate for 1.5 and 2' yard bin twice a week = $31.99 3'yard bin twice a week '= $46.15
If we apply a 2.8 % increase the rate increase would be:
.028 x~$31.99.= .89 (.31 adjusted)
.028 x $46.15 = $1.29 ( 4'5 adjusted) . '
The two ~ard bin increase would be 69% of the three y'a~d bin. · .'- vOlume Relationships
The volume'ratio of home rate to bin rate would be the number
of homes it takes'to produce the number of cans which woul~ equal
one' bin.
One study shows the relationship between cans and bins:
A 1.5 yard bin = nine 30 gallon cans ·
A two yard bin-= twelve 30 gallon cans .~
A 3 yard bin = eighteen 30 gallon cans
.Volume wise, to equal a 1.5 yard bin: four homes would 'have to set
out 2.25 cans
To equal a two yard bin: four homes would have to set-out 3 cans.
To' equal a three yard bin: isix homes would have to set out 3 cans.
Rate Relationship
A three yard bin = 6 times the household monthly increase of
6 x 22 cents = $1~32 2.86% vs'($1.29 @ 2.8%)
A two yard bin = 4 x 22 cents = .88 2.75% vs ( .89 ~ 2.8%)
A ! 1/2 yard bin = 4 x 22 cents = .88
~he two yard bin increase would be 66.7 % of {he three yard bin
increase.
For multi-units or multiple service, you could apply the dollar and
cent increase to each multiple service unit.
Note: Nancy Ewart', Kern Public'Works engineer, has figures showing
loose household refuse = 350 pounds per cubic yard.
That would.be 1000 pounds per 3 yard bin.
She has also calculated that one 30 gallon can would equal .14
cubic yard.
This is based-on 7..48 gallons per cubic foot and 27 cubic feet
equal one cubic yard.
If we apply her figures, the commercial rate would be.slightly
higher.
A 1.5 yard bin = 11 30 gallon cans.
'A-2.0 yard bin = 15 30 gallon cans.
A 3.0 yard bin = 22 30 gallon cans.
Volume wise: ' Adjusted
1.5 yard bin = 4 homes set out 2.75 cans= $ .88 (.31)
5 homes set out 2.20 cans= $1.10 (.38)
2.0 yard bin = 6 homes set out 2.50 cans= $1.32 (.46)
7 homes set out 2.14 cans= $1.54 (.54)
3.0 yard-bin = 9 homes set out 2.4 cans= $1.98 (.69)
!0 homes set out 2.2 cans= $2.22 (.78)
Taking a combination of the three methods might bea lair way
to arrive at the commercial rate figure...
ROLL OFFS
'Because a roll off truck is a-one man operation, and other
iactors, the added cost of going to Bena would be different than
for a packer truck. ·
For roll offs, we have applied the methodology used by the
Kern County Public Works. Department for .the County's transfer
stations., Nancy Ewart, Kern County Public Works engineer, using
a lotus spreadsheet, has developed an hourly rate figure of $58 for
the County's transfer stations.' She assumes one driver, no helper.
Using her hourly figure:
10.5 minutes = .175 hours.
Multiply $58 by .175 hours and the roll off rate increase
would be $10.15
This rate would' not become effective until September i,. 1992.
ADJUSTMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
For purposes of this study, several factors were Considered,
tO see what effect they ~ght have in terms of adjust~'ng tjhe rate
increase, upwards oK downwards.
USE OF ARVIN. LANDFILL
Some of the Hauler trucks do not now use the China Grade'
landfill, and will not be .skirting to Bena. They will' not have
any .change from their present operation, and no additional costs.
would 'be involved. It is recognized that when the Arvin landfill"'
closes, additional distance may be involved, and they would be
addressed at that time. It is also recognized that if and when a
composting center/ recycling center/ transfer station is placed in
operation, changes in distances will be involved. Changes in_coSts
brought about by.such facilities will also be' addressed at that
time.
The rate.increase shoul.d be adjusted downward to reflect the
use of the Arvin landfill.
To do this, we need to know: What percentage of Kern Refuse
Inc trucks use the Arvin Landfill?
Price Disposal 100% of packer trucks
' Varner & sons 100 % of packer trucks
This represents about 65% of Kern Refuse's total.
The house hold rate increase of 22 cents would be adjusted' to 8
cents.
commercial rates 'would be similarly adjusted
downward. With some exceptions., most rol'l offs will go
to Bena, and the rates would not have to be adjusted.
.EFFECTS OF RECYCLING AND WASTE STREAM DIVERSION
There is no guestion that in the future an ever increasing
amoUnt of material will never get 'into the waste stream. We would
anticipate that individual households.and commercial enterprises
will set out fewer containers. This will ..impact the number of
containers picked up.
Recycling will also have a major impact on the amount .of
material that will be diverted from the landfill. We would expect
20 to 25 percent of the waste stream going to a green waste center
instead of the landfill. At some point of time in the future we
would also expect a great deal of material will be diverted to a
recycling center. Both centers will probably be located closer to
the centroid than Bena.
How often this material is picked up, and the method of
collecting it will .have a significant impact not only on the cost
of going to the landfill, but on other costs as well.
These factors should be addressed in the months ahead as a
useful tool/gUide to Policy makers in developing and'implementing
the programs adopted for'our area to meet its AB 939 goals.
However,. our study shows that the amount of material being
diverted/recycled at this time has not reached a level that would
justify any adjustment in the .proposed rate.'increase-
OTHER FACTORS
A logical question is what effect does the additional mileage
have on fixed costs such as Welding shops, mechanical shops, paint
shops, wash racks, offic? space,' computers, insurance, etc.
Others might wonder if the 1! minutes added to each route
.might not be absorbed within the. work day.
'~s.,.. .~s a good time to again, examine these kinds of factors.
We believe the answer'lies in the.sound management principles
which historically' both the City and the haulers have employed.
On a temporary basis] you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h any resource to
meet a temporary gap. Because of unexpected circumstanced,from
time to time, every one has had to do it.
Because of where you'are in your
growth cycle, there may be
times when this is almost impossible to do, and others when'it can
be handled for.a short time.
But in any successful business enterprise, there is a defined
relationship between the units of revenue production and those
units that support them. In order to operate in the black, and to
plan ahead for future growth, you MUST determine what these
relationships are. You must establish what are your unit needs,
unit costs and revenue flow. Your operation plan is based on the
'relationship between them.
For example, there is a maximum efficient size for a refuse
route based on many factors including.population, density, terrain,
lot and house size, collection'methods, etc.
Y.ou need certain minimum support facilities for your route
structure, and as the number of customers and routes increase, you
have to increase the number of support personnel, shops, etc.
You need personnel in place for vacations, illness, unexpected
emergencies, and growth.
In addition, you must monitor and take into account things
that can change the relationship between support costs and revenue
needs. Some are beyond your control. An example would be a recent.
~change in State law which effects where and how you may paint a
bin..
~ou must consider yoUr total operation, and make adjustments
throughout the organization on a unit need/cost/revenue basis.
This is the basis of.your planning for additional sguare footage
of shop space, a new computer operator, another telephone line,
etc.
It is important to do this in a timely fashion, with no
interruption in service, and at the least cost.
I have observed the City Sanitation operation and know that
they too use sound management principles and in effect d° this type
of planning.
The present low basic rates enjoyed by the people of
Bakersfield reflects substantial savings, and is possibles; inpart,
because of the long term contractual relationship between the
haulers and the City of Bakersfield.
It .necessitates long term Planning an~ the application of
sound management principles. The haulers' operations are based on
these concepts. We believe it best serves the people of
Bakersfield and the haulers to preserve them. OPPORTUNITIES.
Looking to the future, we believe some of the concepts the
City has under study have great merit, and offer, our community
opportunities for even better service at equal or lower costs.
Some of the collection methods now under study by the city of
Bakersfield offer an opportunity for all of us to increase
efficiency, increase' route size, and effect lower costs.
This area seems to offer an opportunity to lower unit costs
and impac% the cost .of handling refuse while meeting our AB 939
goals.
We encourage the City to continue ~to explore these types of
opportunities.

REFUSE COLLECTION AGREEMENW
THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered into on Art±Ti 7]_0, 1991_ , by and between
the CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, a municipal corporation, referred to herein as "CITY" and KERN
REFUSE DISPOSAL, INC., a California corporation, referred to herein as "CONTRACTOR."
RECITALS
WBEREAS, Kern RefUse Disposal, Inc. _was formed in the year 1967 by various commercial
refuse collectors engaged in the business of Collecting refuse, pursuant to refuse collection'service
franchises issued by Kern County, within unincorporated areas of the County that adjoin the City
of Bakersfield. The corporation was formed to act as a conduit for the purpose of enabling
Commercial refuse collectors to provide, through a single entity, refuse collection services within
those unincorporated areas of the County that were, and still are, from time to time, annexed to
the CITY; and
WHEREAS, the City of .Bakersfield maintains and operates its oven municipal refuse
collection service in .part, but not all, of the CITY. As a consequence, it is the CITY's desire to
make certain that the inhabitants~ of those parts of the CITY which are not serviced by it and the
inhabitants of newly .annexed territories receive substantially the same efficient refuse collection
services from commercial refuse Collectors as do the citizens and inhabitants of Bakersfield who are
serviced by the CITY; and
WHEREAS,' for said reasons, the City of Bakersfield, on the 20th day of March, 1967,
entered into a contract with Kern Refuse Disposal, Inc. for the collection of refuse by the
corporation's shareholders within neWly annexed territories under the terms and conditions more
particularly set forth therein. 'Thereafter, said contract was renewed from time to time until March
16, 1988; and
WHEREAS, for the purpose of obtaining greater overall economy and efficienc3, in the
collection of refuse generated by occupants of residential units, the City of Bakersfield prgposes to
change the method by which all such refuse is collected by requiring the collection thereof to be
made with automated or semi-automated equipment; and
WHEREAS, to enable the City Of Bakersfield and Kern Refuse Disposal, Inc. to effectuate
the proposed transition in a competent, economical and equitable manner, the parties have deemed
it advantageous to each party and. beneficial to the public interest to terminate the existing contract
and to enter into a new contract.

the time of annexation.
2, Each member collector shall establish routes in the territory to be served by it, and
maps delineating such routes shall be filed with and approved by the CITY'S authorized
representative; once approved, said maps or routes shall not be changed or altered without the
apProval of the CITY's authorized representative.
· 3. Starting no earlier than 6:00 a.m., residential collection shall be conducted twice per

areas shall be allocated as equally as possible between the CITY and the
CONTRACTOR 'so that each party shall be entitled to make 50 percent
