Upon the request of Civic Center officials, City of Poughkeepsie Police emptied the stands between the second and third periods of the opening game between Marist and Wagner College with the score at 4-2.

According to a report in Tuesday's Poughkeepsie Journal, Kenneth O'Connor, 18, a sophomore from Queens, was arrested when he refus­ ed to leave after he was observed with his pants down in front of the snack bar, said Detective Sgt. Kevin O'Neil, who also serves as a securi-.-, ty guard at the Civic Center when off duty. O'Connor was charged with resisting arrest in addition to public lewdness; both are misdemeanors.

Consumer Watchdog California Recycling Study Trashed: How California Recycling Failed And How To Fix It EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The California bottle deposit law was designed to recycle billions of empty glass, plastic and metal beverage containers every year, cut pollution, and save energy. Today, Consumer Watchdog finds that the California bottle deposit system is imploding and about to collapse without immediate and fundamental reform. OVERVIEW OF PROBLEM • Redemption centers are closing at an alarming rate and consumers are unable to get back their $1.5 billion worth of nickel and dime deposits they pay each year. • Lack of access to redemption centers has increased unclaimed deposits to approximately $360 million. Beverage distributors, retailers, and waste haulers further siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars that should go to consumers. • Increased contamination of the waste stream by curbside waste haulers has foreign markets for our recycling materials shutting their doors. • Supermarket chains and other beverage retailers legally obligated to be recyclers of last resort are refusing to do so. • The state regulator, CalRecycle, is ineffective, and has actually given retailers more than 1,200 exemptions from recycling responsibilities in the last several decades. Waste haulers are cashing in on hundreds of millions of dollars-worth of consumer deposits annually for picking up these empties, contaminating them at high rates, and then collecting separate fees from government entities for landfilling and incineration.

    7 SHOREWAY OPERATIONS AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT Agenda Item 7 7A STAFF REPORT To: SBWMA Board Members From: Hilary Gans, Sr. Operations and Contracts Manager Marshall Moran, Finance Manager Date: April 26, 2018 Board of Directors Meeting Subject: Resolution Approving Gate Rate Increases Recommendation It is recommended that the SBWMA Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 2018-18 attached hereto authorizing the following action: Resolution Approving Gate Rate Increases to Green Waste, C&D Material, and Food Waste. Summary The finance committee met on April 10th to review the Draft 2018/19 budget. One outcome of the meeting was the recommendation of a Gate Rate increase for public /self-haul customers and franchise food waste to raise revenues to 1) offset processor fee increases and 2) to raise additional revenue for the agency. Public gate rates for C&D, Yard Trimmings and Food Waste were singled out due to large cost increases by the processors of these materials. Table 1 shows the recommended Shoreway gate fee adjustments effective July 2018: Note that additional gate rate increases are also budgeted effective January 1, 2019 as shown in Table 3 but they will be brought back to the Board in November for approval. Table 1 Recommended Gate Fee Adjustments (included in FY18/19 Budget) Proposed Rates Gate Fee Increases Current Rates (7/1/18) Recommended Increase (by material type) Public Solid Waste $42/Cu.Yd. $42/Cu.Yd. 0 Public C&D $40/Cu.Yd. $42/Cu.Yd. +$2/Cu.Yd. Public Yard Trimmings $31/Cu.Yd. $33/Cu.Yd. +$2/Cu.Yd Contract & Franchise Food Waste $121.00/ ton $131.00/ ton $10/ ton Analysis After reviewing the increases in C&D, yard waste and food waste processing, the adjustments shown in Table 1 above are recommended to keep gate fees in-line with higher processing fees and increase agency revenues.
