BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board of Supervisors on February 5, 1991 directed the Community
Development Department, as part of the Board Order approving
franchise agreements for West Pittsburg, to draft procedures and
eligibility criteria for a senior discount rate. Since that time
meetings have occurred with the West Pittsburg MAC and demographic
information has been reviewed. The MAC has expressed a number of
concerns regarding the percentage of the discount, the criteria,
and the method of offsetting costs. Establishing, within 60
days, an interim senior refuse collection discount will avoid
delays in providing Buch a discount rate to low income seniors
while still allowing discussion with the West Pitts r MAC on
alternative approaches.
