AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Supporting Renewal of the San Joaquin County Recycling
Market Development Zone
MEETING DATE: July 6, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a Resolution supporting the renewal of
the San Joaquin County Recycling Market Development Zone.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1995, San Joaquin County was designated as one of forty
Recycling Market Development Zones (RMDZ) in California. The
zone includes San Joaquin County as the lead agency for the cities
of Stockton, Tracy, Lodi, Manteca, Lathrop, Ripon and Escalon. The
establishment of the RMDZ program provides incentives to stimulate development of post -consumer and
secondary materials markets. The San Joaquin RMDZ is dedicated to establishing, sustaining and
expanding recycling -based manufacturing businesses, which is essential for market development, and to
assist local jurisdictions in meeting the established landfill reduction and AB939 goals.
The San Joaquin County RMDZ designation will expire in December 2005 unless re -designated by the
California Integrated Waste Management Board. The renewal of the San Joaquin County RMDZ is
necessary to facilitate local and regional planning, coordination, support of existing recycling -based
manufacturing businesses, as well as attract private sector recycling business investments to the region.
FISCAL IMPACT: NIA
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None needed.
