Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she visited the ACI recycling facility in San Leandro; she is troubled that the current pay rate is $14.59 from $9.00 but the burdened rate only went up 2 cents because ACI was paying a temporary agency fee; inquired whether ACI would reduce workforce if the facility is retooled. The Deputy Public Works Director responded updating the facility is an option which would need only one worker for a shift. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether costs would reduce if the workforce goes away, to which the Deputy Public Works Director responded in the affirmative; stated the ratepayers would see the benefit. In response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquiry, Mr. Kenny stated there are no definitive plans to retool the facility right now; stated retooling is very challenging and capital intensive.
