Supervisor Laine made the following statement: "There were some important
details that were omitted from the discussion last week to amend the Ordinance
entitled Solid Waste Management to expand Mandatory Collection Expansion to
Tahoma and Meeks Bay. The information that was provided by Tahoe Truckee
Sierra Disposal (TTSD) in their slide deck was not specifically discussed and
therefore has created some misunderstandings. To be clear, TTSD signed a
Franchise Agreement in 2015 and was set to expire on September 28, 2022. An
amendment was agreed to in 2022 to extend the contract through September
28, 2025. In 2025, TTSD formally approached El Dorado County with a desire to
service the area as Residential Mandatory, as a condition of extension. A
second amendment was signed in 2025 that extended the contract through
September 28, 2028 and added a sentence that read "in the event that
Residential service in the Franchise area has not become mandatory by County
Ordinance by July 1, 2026." TTSD with 45 day notice could terminate the
contract. If that were to happen, Tahoma and Meeks Bay would likely not have
any type of Solid Waste Services for several months, the County would issue a
Request for Proposals and likely TTSD would submit a proposal and require
Mandatory Service. So, we would lose months of service and likely end up right
back where we started from. Therefore, the Board is supporting Mandatory
Service now to prevent months of lost services. El Dorado County and TTSD will
negotiate the terms of what services will be provided as part of the Mandatory
Service. TTSD has submitted their ideas on what should be included and El
Dorado County will submit additional items to be negotiated out. Those
specifics will be know on June 23, 2026 when El Dorado County holds a public
hearing to consider the actual new rate structure going forward."
