RECOMMENDATION
title
Director of Public Works requests approval of and authorization for the Chair to sign Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 220297B with Conservation Corps North Bay, Inc., to extend the term to June 30, 2025, with no change to compensation rates, to provide litter abatement and other waste-related services in the Zone One waste collection area.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 22, 2022, the Public Works Director instituted a litter abatement program for the Zone One waste collection area, using Solid Waste Collection Area Zone One fund balance, for four areas (known as “pods”) of roads within Zone One that were shown to be high litter areas. The contractor sends out litter collection crews twice each month, covering two pods each day. The results have been highly positive, from the standpoint of positive feedback from the community as well as a noticeable reduction in litter present from road’s staff observations. The Director recommends extension of the program.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In March 2022, the Public Works Director instituted a litter abatement program for four pods of roads in the South County area that were shown to be littering hotspots.
Public Works contracted with the Conservation Corps of North Bay (CCNB), a California nonprofit corporation in Novato, to implement a litter abatement program for the four pods of roads. Along with general litter abatement of roadside trash, the CCNB also reports larger litter items such as mattresses, tires, and other large items to Public Works, which then sends a crew to pick up the items.
Below are the four pods of roads currently designated for litter abatement:
POD 1
Airport Blvd
Devlin Road
Sheehy Court
North Kelly Road
South Kelly Road
POD 2
Golden Gate Drive
Foster Road
Old Sonoma Road
Buhman Ave
Henry Road
Dealy Lane
Soscol Ferry Road
POD 3
Wooden Valley Road
Wild Horse Valley Road
McGary Road
POD 4
Redwood Road
Designated roads may be added or subtracted as needed.
