At the June 2, 2026 meeting, Marina’s City Council adopted Resolution 2026-69 amending the rate adjustment calculation in the existing franchise agreement with GreenWaste Recovery. The change uses a sector-specific uniform percentage adjustment and approves maximum rates effective July 1, 2026 for franchised solid waste, recycling, and organics collection. Discussion focused on perceived inequities between single-family and multi-family/apartment rates and the possibility of CARE-style discounts for low-income apartment residents. This action confirms GreenWaste’s status as the incumbent hauler and sets near-term rate structures while the larger regional RFP strategy is developed. For GreenWaste, it’s an opportunity to maintain and potentially strengthen its position in advance of a future procurement; for competitors, the resolution provides insight into current pricing, policy concerns, and contract timelines. Vendors offering billing, customer service, SB 1383 compliance tools, or rate modeling can engage with both the city and GreenWaste to support improved equity and rate design.

The Board will hear a request from Ryan Carter of Carter Environmental Services, representing Toll Southeast LP Company Inc, to remove significant trees and tree canopy at 1006 Pantano Drive in Conservation Overlay Zones 2 and 3. This level of environmental entitlement typically precedes a substantial residential development or subdivision by a large builder. While Toll Southeast (a Toll Brothers entity) is identified as the owner and Carter Environmental is engaged, broader civil design, infrastructure, and construction packages are not detailed in the agenda. This creates opportunity for firms providing environmental mitigation, stormwater and infrastructure design, utility installation, and inspection services to align with the project as it moves from overlay approvals into full site development and vertical build-out.
Involvement of a major residential developer suggests a multi-lot or phased housing project with sig...
The agenda lists a request to remove significant trees on a parcel along San Carlos Avenue within Conservation Overlay Zone 3 by owner-applicants Lukaj and Oriola Aleksander. Seeking approval to remove protected trees usually signals imminent site preparation for new construction or redevelopment. Because no civil engineer, site contractor, or arborist is named, the project appears to be in early planning stages focused on entitlements. This creates opportunity for environmental consultants, tree services, and sitework contractors to assist with mitigation plans, permitting, and eventual grading and infrastructure work under the conservation overlay requirements.
Conservation Overlay Zone standards may require mitigation plantings, fee-in-lieu contributions, or ...
Lotus Engineering will present a Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report to the Board, providing a data-driven summary of county emissions. This is a foundational planning document that often precedes climate action planning, energy efficiency initiatives, fleet transitions, and building retrofits. While the agenda only references the report presentation, such an inventory typically leads to new environmental programs and capital projects to reduce emissions. Vendors offering sustainability consulting, energy performance contracting, EV and fleet solutions, renewable energy, and building efficiency upgrades should view this as a signal that Chaffee County is quantifying its emissions baseline and may soon seek implementation partners for reduction strategies identified in or following the report.
Greenhouse gas inventory is being reported by an external consultant, Lotus Engineering.
