PRESENTATION TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RE SANITARY LANDFILL
City Manager said the purpose of this meeting was to
determine the City Council's presentation to be made
before the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors on
Tuesday, August 1, 1972, relative to the joint operation
of the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill.
The Council discussed the problems involved in the joint
operation and agreed the major problems were the cost
to the City of Lodi and the depletion of the facility.
The City Manager said the problem was two-phase in
that (1) it was a county -wide, long-range problem; and
(2) it was a city -county problem in that the City of
Lodi's problem could not wait for county -wide problems
to be resolved.
After considerable discussion, Councilman Hughes
proposed that the City offer to turn the operation of
the Sanitary Landfill over to the County with the
stipulation that the City reserve the right for the
Sanitary City Disposal Company and the City of Lodi
to durnp its solid waste at the Landfill at no cost.
Councilman Schaffer questioned if tt:e City should have
as alternative to offer to the County.
Public Works Director Jones suggested an alternative
mig :t be t`:at the City of Lodi take over the entire
operation and charge a County -wide fee.
The Co',:ncii agreed this was a possibility, but pre-
ferred the County to take over the entire operation.
Councilman Schaffer stressed the reasons the City
would request the County to assume the operation were:
