Mandatory collection of all waste streams is required under the City's mandatory ordinance that went into effect January 2022. City will be rolling out programs with an option for separate mixed commingled recycling bin (only 3 CY bin rate available) until the new enhanced menu of collection options are available to provide the service levels and frequencies required by all commercial generators including multi -family complexes.

Furthermore, some of the information may not be available until program Implementation is completed congruent with the timelines described in this document Explanation why the City of Anaheim Is c rrerrd r_ unable to eompi y, The City of Anaheim is located in the County of Orange. Prior to initiating negotiations, the City completed an SB 1383 contract gap analysis In early 2020. The City has been in contract negotiations with their franchise hauler early in 2020. The Covid 19 pandemic hit shortly after the negotiations began and were put on hold while the City's franchised hauler was determining options for compliant programs with SB 1383. Additionally, In December 2021 the franchise hauler had a labor union work stoppage that put the negotiations on another pause. The franchise hauler then became victim of a ransonrware hack on their payroll software (Cronos) in late December 2021 after resolution of the labor stoppage. While negotiations have been active, there is more time needed to complete negotiations for the restated franchise agreement that include many of the prescriptive requirements necessary to implement SIB 1383 - compliant programs. Once the contract is agreed upon by both the franchise hauler and the City, there will be additional time needed to prepare Proposition 218 hearing notices and mail to impacted residents and businesses and allot the required 45-day notice period. Once the contract has been approved by the City Council, there will also be minimally sufficient time allotted to conduct outreach and education to generators and provide collection containers, as some may not already have the required collection services with the franchise hauler. The franchise hauler has reported industrywide difficulties of ordering new containers due to a delay caused by the manufacturers of containers. Ir.r�ectsofCOVID-19randemkoncon lance. The City and franchise hauler experienced staffing issues (including hiring freezes) due to quarantine requirements which delayed the contract negotiations forthe franchise agreement Due to the delay in the finalization of SB 1383 Regulations due to COMD-19, there was a delay In being able to actively negotiate the franchise hauler agreement The franchise hauler has been greatly impacted by COMD-19 and how they operate which has posed challenges in determining operation/servlee costs for newly provided services.
