A year ago at this time, Santa Barbarawas facing a $9 million budget shortfall.

The city scrambled to negotiate a bet-ter contract with police officer and fire-fighter unions, slashed services andeliminated employee positions to closethe gap.

Today in a special budget work ses-sion, the Santa Barbara City Councilwill get its first look at the state of thebudget for the next fiscal year, and beginthe months-long process to close what isexpected to be a significantly less, butmultimillion-dollar budget shortfall.

“My sense is that we are doing betterthan last year,” said Mayor HeleneSchneider. “Things are turning around alittle, but a little faster than we projectedin the budget. At the very least I want tomake sure we are maintaining the servic-es that we are providing and not makecuts.”

Like all municipalities, Santa Barbarahas struggled financially in recent yearsbecause of a drop in sales, property andhotel bed taxes. The collapse of theeconomy, which reached its peak in2008, has further exacerbated the prob-lem.

Rising retirement and health costs forunionized employees has also con-tributed to the city budget woes.

In recent years, Santa Barbara hasslashed library hours – closing somebranches altogether on Mondays –reduced park maintenance, and eliminat-ed dozens of positions from the budget.

The city’s planning department hasbeen particularly hard hit, which hascontributed to a backlog in review andzoning enforcement.

Santa Barbara has eliminated about80 positions in all departments from itsgeneral fund.

If you’re one of those types whodoesn’t think recycling matters,look out.

Here comes Matt Fore, SantaBarbara’s new environmental serv-ices manager.

At a time when Santa Barbara isunder increasing pressure fromenvironmentalists and the state todivert more trash from the landfill,Fore is in charge of taking the city

to the next level.“Santa Barbara is seen as a

leader in the solid waste field,”Fore said. “Many of the cuttingedge initiatives come out of thisregion. I want to continue the goodwork we have already started. Thechallenge for the city is to increasethat diversion rate.”

Fore will earn about $115,000 inhis new position. He joined the citya week ago, at a time when trash isthe talk of the town.

Santa Barbara is poised to hire a$100,000 consultant to manage abid process for a multimillion-dol-lar trash contract up for renewal in2013. Right now Allied WasteServices and Marborg Industrieshaul trash and recycling for the city,but Marborg is seeking to takeAllied’s contract away to dominatethe entire area.

The Santa Barbara City Councilwill ultimately make that call, but

Goleta School District honorsAlliedWaste for free service

BY NICK C. TONKINDAILY SOUND CORRESPONDENT

Goleta Union School District honoredAllied Waste Services Wednesday nightfor providing free trash hauling servicesto two of its schools since August of2010.

“There exists a long and rich historyof collaboration and teamwork betweenGoleta schools andAllied Waste Servicesover the past 38 years,” MacIntosh said.“We estimate that Allied Waste has madean investment in the Goleta schools ofapproximately $204,000 district wide.”

Wednesday’s honoring of Allied fol-lows a similar public recognition forMarborg a few weeks ago. It’s the latestturn of events regarding trash and recy-cling in what has become a controversialand tumultuous battle between the twohaulers over trash.

Allied has held contracts with the Cityof Goleta, Santa Barbara’s Westside, andSanta Barbara County for years. ButMarBorg has been making inroads aseach contract came up for renewal.

Allied’s grip started to slip a decadeago when MarBorg won the Eastsidecontract. It slid further in 2010 whenGoleta voted to drop Allied’s contractand negotiate exclusively with MarBorgin March and the Santa Barbara County

Board of Supervisors opened bidding forthe “Noleta” contract in September.

Since then, the two trash haulers havebeen in a fierce competition for themulti-million dollar contracts that arenow up for grabs.

If MarBorg officially locks up the cityof Goleta, the Eastern Goleta Valley andthe rest of Santa Barbara, Marborg wouldhave a monopoly on trash by 2013.

Allied, owned by Republic, the sec-ond largest trash hauler in the country,moved to fight its big business image byhiring former City of Santa Barbaraemployee Steve MacIntosh as its newgeneral manager.

Since then, MacIntosh has lead a del-uge of community outreach to combatMarBorg’s cozy relationship with sever-al elected officials and record of finan-cial contributions.

Marborg has also built favor withlocal governments because of its con-struction and recycling facility, whichhas helped agencies meet state-mandatedtrash diversion goals.

MacIntosh has repeatedly told offi-cials that competition is good.

Boomer said Wednesday’s award wasbased on Allied donating its services toFoothill and Mountain View elementaryschools.

Since August both Marborg and Alliedhave been hauling trash for free with all10 of Goleta Union’s schools. WhileAllied has taken two, MarBorg took alarger share with eight schools.

“We’re being consistent with ourdonations that we’ve done for many,many years,” Borgatello said.

Boomer downplayed any perceiveddrama at the school district

“It’s been very quiet,” Boomer said.“All the excitement’s over at the city.”

Indeed, at Tuesday’s meeting ofGoleta City Council, council memberPaula Perotte put a motion forward torevisit the bidding process.

“The process of awarding a contractwithout a competitive process has left acloud over not only our city, our councilbut also on MarBorg,” Perotte said. “Mydecision is based primarily on my beliefthat we need to act to dispel any notionsof unfairness that may be aimed at ourgovernment or at MarBorg.”

Perotte said she was addressing con-cerns her constituents brought up duringher November campaign and did nothave a particular company in mind.

“I’m not doing this to benefit anotherbidder or bidders,” Perotte said. “Ibelieve that MarBorg too will benefit

NEWS IN BRIEFJanitor shoots school principal

A janitor at an elementary school near Sacramento,California, was arrested on Wednesday after he shot andwounded the school's principal, a county fire department offi-cial said.

The shooting occurred at about 10:30 a.m. local time in anoffice at the Schnell School in the Sierra foothills town ofPlacerville, about 20 miles northeast of the state capital.

The gunman fled the scene on foot to his home, where he wastaken into custody by law enforcement authorities, according toEl Dorado County Fire Department Battalion Chief LarryMarinas.

The victim, identified as the school's principal, was taken toa nearby hospital, but Marinas said he had no information aboutthe nature of his injuries, his condition or how many times hewas shot.

Officials at the hospital, the Marshall Medical Center inPlacerville, gave no details, but the Sacramento Bee newspaperreported the victim as listed in serious condition. Police andsheriff's deputies were not immediately available to comment.

World food prices at record highSurging food prices are on Thursday expected to push the

United Nations' food price index to a record high in January fora second straight month, further above the levels which prompt-ed food riots in 2007/2008.

The Food Price Index of the UN's Food and AgricultureOrganization (FAO), which measures monthly price changes fora food basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy, meat and sugar, hit arecord in December, above a previous high set in June 2008 dur-ing the food crisis.

A mix of high oil and fuel prices, growing use of biofuels,bad weather and soaring futures markets pushed up prices offood in 2007/08, sparking violent protests in countries includingEgypt, Cameroon and Haiti.

The Rome-based agency has warned food prices could climbeven higher, expressing concern about global weather patterns.

Severe drought in the Black Sea last year, heavy rains inAustralia and dry weather in Argentina and anticipation of aspike in demand after unrest in north Africa and the Middle Easthas helped power grain prices to multi-year highs.

The worst winter storm for decades in the U.S. grain belt keptup pressure on wheat futures on Wednesday.

Surging food prices have come back into the spotlight afterthey helped fueled protests that toppled Tunisia's president inJanuary and have spilled over to Egypt and Jordan, raising spec-ulation other countries in the region would secure grain stocksto reassure their populations.

The world is falling apart. TheMid-East, the U.S. economy, andSanta Barbara’s exploding plastic bagcontroversy (those who want to weighin on the controversy as to whetherSanta Barbara’s bags really doexplode write to Ilovesarahpalin.com)are all too much to bear. That’s whylike all good columnists I’m going toignore them.

Instead, I’m going to address anissue of far greater national and eveninternational importance, the shockingfact that writers don’t get enoughcredit – or love, or money for thatmatter. Take David Seidler, forexample. Who? See, that’s my point.The Santa Barbara Film Festivalrecently honored Geoffrey Rush,Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carterand the others from the film, TheKing’s Speech, and it was front-pagenews.

What’s that got to do with DavidSeidler? He wrote the script.Without him, there is no movie, noapplause, and the Film Festival wouldhave to shut down and everybodywould be forced to talk about theMiddle East, the economy andexploding plastic bags. Nobodywants that.

Seidler’s story isn’t what you mightexpect. First of all, he is 73 yearsold…proving that it ain’t too late todo what you love…and second, hestuttered as a boy. This amazing filmgrew out of that experience. Seidlerrecently attended the Toronto FilmFestival and 2,000 people stood andapplauded him. “It was the first time

I felt I’ve ever been heard,” he said.He’s busy writing new scripts. Rockon Mr. Seidler…

By the way, I thought Firth wasincredible in that film. But, who

wants to talk aboutthat, let’s get intothat Middle-Eastdeal for a minute.First, I figure thepeople there are fedup with their gov-ernments for goodreason; I’d proba-bly be out in thestreets with them,or at least cheeringthem on from thenearest Starbucks,

if I was there. But, what the heck isthe Muslim Brotherhood? It’s clearthat if they really want to take overcountries, they need to hire a goodpublicist and change their name tosomething like “Progressive Middle-Easterners for Positive Change,” orsomething equally meaningless likeAmerican politicians do.

Speaking of oil, I think the mostimportant thing that we, the Americanpeople, should do, other than givecredit, money and love to writers, isto force the President and Congress todraw up a plan, with a timetable, toget America off Big Oil. For someridiculous reason, some people stillequate renewable energy with hippiesand the counterculture. They thinkit’s a far-out liberal plot. Time tomove past that one, dudes. Having amore decentralized energy grid is

actually a conservative value – themore we control our own energysources, the less control the Americanand foreign governments have overus…Hey, I think we can all dig that.Sarah Palin is coming to town

tomorrow. I know a lot of you outthere are great fans of her’s, (youwrite love letters to me frequently). Iwill say this, whether you agree withPalin or not – and even if she doesn’thave the bear or moose vote – she isone of the most intriguing politiciansin America. And I’m not saying thatbecause she still owes me $1,000.Really.

Finally, I want to plug a worthynon-profit, DAWG, which you mightfigure takes care of lonely and lostdogs until they can find a good home.The Santa Barbara organization’s mis-sion is to reduce euthanasia. It’s agood cause and a good bunch of peo-ple – if you want to volunteer, send adonation or adopt a pup, here’sDAWG’s contact stuff:[email protected]; 805-681-0561.

Now, if they only had an org likethat for writers…

in the meantime Fore will be deep in thetrenches of city’s staff’s discussions andclosed-door talks on the matter.

Fore, in fact, will be taking over formany of the duties performed by StephenMacIntosh, the former environmentalservices specialist, who jumped from thecity to Allied last June.

MacIntosh, who helped lead SantaBarbara to a 70 percent trash diversionrate during his eight years with the city,met Fore about a week ago and wasimpressed with Fore’s ambition for thejob.

“He is a very nice guy,” saidMacIntosh, Allied’s General Manager.“He seems capable. He has solid creden-tials. The city’s hiring him is crucialbecause they needed a manager in thatspot.”

A 1996 UCSB graduate in environ-mental studies, Fore previously workedin Monterey and Santa Benito Countiesin various environmental specialist andmanagement jobs.

He helped set up a program for recy-cling and collecting curbside, marine andused oil.

In Monterey County, he was in chargeof all solid waste programs and responsi-

ble for improving residential recycling.In Santa Barbara, Fore has a bigger

responsibility.How does he advance the city’s diver-

sion rate, when Santa Barbara alreadydoes such a stellar job?

“The low hanging fruit we havealready harvested,” Fore said. “Now wemust move into the waste streams thatare tougher to get.”

Most people, he said, have an aware-ness of commingled recyclables, such asbottles, cans and newspapers.

He said the city must begin to educatepeople about food scraps. With the helpof Allied Waste Services, the city in 2007started the first food scraps collectionprogram.

Allied agreed to do it for free atCottage Hospital, the Santa Barbara Zoo,Aldo’s and eventually other locations, ata cost about $250,000 in annual freeservice.

Essentially, all plant-based material onyour plate can and should be composted,rather than throwing it in the trash.

Now, the city and Fore are trying tofigure out how to expand the food scrapsprogram.

“The next step is trying to roll that outto residents,” Fore said. “Each new wastestream that we set up to capture, the chal-lenge will be to put the infrastructure inplace.

Fortunately, Fore said, the city ofSanta Barbara has had strong environ-mental leaders that preceded him.

“There is strong consensus and com-mitment on the part of residents, busi-nesses and the council,” Fore said. “Thecity has already taken the steps to putinto place a strong solid waste and diver-sion program.”

Bob Samario, the city’s finance direc-tor, will oversee Fore. He said that Foreis a talented progressive-minded personwho will help Santa Barbara improve itsdiversion rate.

“We don’t want to be reactive,”Samario said. “We want to be proactive.”

Fore, who along with his wife Alisonare expecting twins in May, said hehopes to strengthen the city’s reputationas an environmental leader.

“I want to continue the good work wehave already started,” Fore said.

SPORTSSBCC’s star linebacker Shipley signs with Maine

BY DAVE LOVETONSBCC SPORTS INFORMATION

SBCC linebacker Sam Shipley signed hisletter-of-intent Wednesday to play footballon a full scholarship at the University ofMaine.

Shipley, a former San Marcos High stand-out, was fifth in Southern Cal and eighth inthe state with 102 tackles in the regular sea-son (11.3 per game). He missed the majorityof two games with a hamstring injury.

He played football at SBCC in 2006, then

went on a two-yearMorman mission to Texasbefore coming back for hissophomore year in 2010.He and his wife, Kaisey,have a four-month-old boy,Bentley.

“I got a good feelingtalking with Maine’s coach(Jack Cosgrove) on thephone,” said Shipley, 23.

“When I went on my visit, it really felt like

the right place for me to be successful infootball and academics.”

The Black Bears will play National run-ner-up Delaware in the fall, as well as BowlChampionship Series member Pittsburgh.

Shipley, a 6-2, 235-pounder, will major inSpanish studies and plans to go to medicalschool in the future.

Shipley’s best effort at SBCC came inWeek 3 when he had 18 tackles, includingsix solo, against Ventura and was namedAmerican Pacific Conference Defensive

Player of the Week.“It was fun to see the difference in our

team from the first week against Hancock toGame 10 against West L.A.,” said Shipley.“We had our share of mistakes and adversityand it was great to see how the guys respond-ed to that adversity.”

Shipley was a first-team All-APC defen-sive choice for the Vaqueros, who went 4-6.Maine, 4-7 last season, is an FCS school thatcompetes in the Colonial AthleticAssociation.

from a more competitive process that willremove any suggestion of suspicion orfavoritism.”

City staff has been negotiating a contractwith Marborg and will return to the full CityCouncil for a vote on the contract in the com-ing months.

Whether Allied can get a second hearing on

the Goleta contract is unclear, but Perotte’sefforts to draw attention to the issue could be asign that MacIntosh is making headway in itsefforts to rebrand Allied.

For now, MacIntosh and Allied are thrilledwith the recognition from the Goleta UnionSchool District – whether they have a contractor not.

“It has been a genuine pleasure serving theGoleta Union School District,” MacIntoshsaid.

Despite the severity of the problems, SantaBarbara has avoided layoffs, and hopes toagain spare employees during this budgetcycle.

“We have been able to save millions ofdollars by reducing the size of government,without laying people off,” Mayor Schneidersaid. “We have weathered the storm prettywell.”

Still one major challenge looms.Santa Barbara must negotiate a new con-

tract with the Service EmployeesInternational Union, its largest bargainingunit.

Today’s budget session will be a stage forthe council members to state their priorities.

Councilman Frank Hotchkiss said he wants10 new police officer positions, which wouldcost about $1.5 million.

“I would like to hire 10 more cops,”Hotchkiss said. “I think we should be able todo that.”

Hotchkiss said the city has rampant home-less problems. The rise in gang violence isalso disturbing, he said, noting that two non-gang members were recently killed by gangmembers.

“Better service to the public means morepolice on the ground,” Hotchkiss said.

Mayor Schneider said she too wants toboost public safety levels, but wonders wherethe money would come from to fund suchpositions. She urged all council members tobe prepared to come up with ways to pay fortheir additions to the budget.

“If it’s 10 officers that $1.5 million –where does that money come from?” sheasked. “Does that you mean you close thelibrary another day of week? Does that meanwe cut teen programs? Does that mean we cutpark maintenance?”
