(Clean Harbors), for hazardous materials waste management services pursuant to a Request for Proposals (RFP). A proposal for a five-year contract with this vendor for this purpose was previously negotiated and sent to the Council for approval in April 2025 (see Council File Number 25-0166). However, this contract was disapproved due to concerns with Clean Harbors' business practices. In response, the Fire Department renegotiated its agreement with Clean Harbors to include a shorter term and lower contract ceiling, which does not require Council approval. The revised agreement is for two years commencing July 1, 2024, and terminating June 20, 2026, and includes an optional one-year extension. The total not-to-exceed amount of the Contract is $1,400,000, subject to the availability of funds in the Fire Department budget for this purpose, with an additional $700,000 authorized if the Department exercises its option to extend. However, there are still concerns with Clean Harbors' business and environmental practices, and a contract with this firm may not be advisable. Council action is needed to assert jurisdiction over the Board's action to allow further review. I THEREFORE MOVE that, pursuant to City Charter Section 245, the City Council assert jurisdiction over the Board of Fire Commissioners' May 6, 2025 action to approve an agreement with Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc., for hazardous materials waste management services pursuant to the Request for Proposals No. 2024-038-001, Board of Fire Commissioners File No. 25-019.

To prevent the loss of experienced City workers and minimize service disruption as much as possible, the City should examine whether employees at risk of layoff can be transferred, reassigned, or swapped into vacant, funded positions within other City departments-particularly where civil service classifications and qualifications align. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Administrative Officer (CAO) and the General Manager of Personnel Department, report weekly on the establishment of a standardized process for employee transfers and swaps to funded positions across departments, including identification of civil service classifications eligible for such exchanges, legal or contractual considerations, and potential benefits for recruitment, retention, and workforce development.
