TO: THE CITY CCUI\TC1L, COUNCIL MEETING DATE
FROM: THE CITY MANAC0S OFFICE DECEMBER 20, 1989
SUBJECT: VPOINTMENT OF INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE REPRESENTATIVE
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACIKNV That the Mayor, with City Council concurrence,
appoint a City Council representative to the County's
Integrated Waste Management Task Force.
BACKGROUND ll4URMATION. The Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989,
established by Assembly Bill 939, requires cities and
counties to prepare elements of a County-Wi dF:
Integrated Waste Management Plan by July 1, 1991.
The act also requires cities and counties to appoint
a Task Force to assist in coordinating the development of the various city and
county elements to the Plan, and to assist in the siting of any additional
transformation or disposal capacity that may be needed. The act requires that
tine Task force convene by March i, 1990.
Developing the required plan according to the mandated timetable set out in the
legis .l a tin;
on will be a scheduling challenge. Therefore, it is important that the
Task Force convene as early as possible.
The act provides as foliows:
"The membership of the Task Force shall be determined by the Board of
Supervisors and a majority of the cities within the county which contain a
majority of the population of the county and may include representatives of the
solid waste industry, environmental organizations, general public, special
districts and affected governmental agencies."
The act deletes portions of the Government Code that established the Solid Waste
Policy Coarmittee which was made up of elected officials from each city and the
County. The Solid Waste Policy Committee, along with a Technical Advisory
Committee, was extremely successful in developing am revising the County Solid
Waste Management Plan. The County recommends that this same system be used to
develop the neve Integrated Waste Management Plan.
Since the Task Force is charged with developing goals, policies, and procedures,
it is suggested that its members consist of an elected official from each city
and the County. The Task Force could then appoint a Technical Advisory
Committee to assist in the Ictual preparation of the plan and its elem?nts.
The meetings will probably be on an "on call" basis.
