Approve a color selection. BACKGROUND Through the 2010 franchise agreement with Recology Del Norte, the City received 48 pairs of trash and recycling receptacles. The selected powder coated steel trash receptacles are failing. See Images 1 and 2 below. IMAGE 1-Rusting Recycle Cover IMAGE 2- Typical Current Installation and Condition Staff is recommending more robust concrete receptacles supplied by Outdoor Creations. Staff also proposes adding an acrylic city seal logo to each of the receptacles. Placing the city seal on the recycling cans will help to present a sense of place and recognition of the city. The seal is the strongest symbol we have for identifying the city (see attached rendering for further details). Image 3 below shows what a typical installation would look like. Image 4 shows a recommended door for recycle containers which will help to minimize contamination of recyclables. Staff received color samples from Outdoor Creations and requests that the Commission choose one of the colors presented. The four colors selected by staff were, Sand Buff, Pecos Beige, Cocoa, and Light Grey. Staff prefers the lighter colors over the darker samples. There is not currently a replacement plan or budget in place for the receptacles, but as the City does replace the containers there is a desire to have them pre-selected. IMAGE 3- Proposed Receptacles Model 511 IMAGE 3- Proposed Door Style for Recycle Receptacles Model 506 RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: A. Approve the proposed new trash and recycling receptacles. B. Approve a color selection from those presented. ATTACHEMENTS 1.
