BACKGROUND

Ross-Campbell, Inc. is the contracted media relations firm hired as a consultant by the County of Sacramento (County) to represent the Regional Recycling Group (Group), of which Elk Grove is a member. The County was the founding member of the Group and the sole entity involved in the selection process of Ross-Campbell, Inc., hired as the consultant responsible for the planning, preparation and execution of tasks to implement programs on behalf of the Group at large.

The Group is a consortium of over thirty (30) cities and counties from Northern that work together to promote programs to meet AB939 state diversion requirements, composting programs, used oil and filter

recycling and beverage recycling. The purpose of the Group is to pool monetary resources from all jurisdictions in the County in order to reach a broader audience. The "economy of scale" is of tremendous benefit when Group members collaborate on media campaigns, instead of jurisdictions attempting to implement campaigns individually.

The Ross-Campbell, Inc. contract scope includes the Annual Used Oil Recycling Campaign and the Annual Holiday Recycling Campaign via the following:

1. Program promotion through radio and television commercial spots; 2. Outreach materials, including billboards, surveys, residential contests and incentive programs; 3. Inclusion on websites, such as www.recycleusedoil.com and www.holidayrecycling.com; and 4. Inclusion in campaign planning and comprehensive reviews, updates and final summary of results.

The original contract, which will terminate December 31, 2010, had a total contract authority of $42,000 (not-to-exceed $14,000 per year for three (3) years). The amendment to the contract will add an additional $30,000 (not- to-exceed $10,000 per year for three (3) years), bringing the total contract authority to an amount of $72,000 and a new term date of December 31, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund.

The Used Oil Recycling Campaign is funded through the annual Used Oil Payment Plan (formerly the Used Oil Block Grant) distributed by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).

The Holiday Recycling Campaign is funded through the annual Recycling Grant, also distributed by CalRecycle.

Any additional expenses incurred to promote AB939 diversion programs that are within the scope of the contract (not-to-exceed $2,000) will be funded through the Integrated Waste residential budget (Fund 501).
