Continuation of Public Hearing to receive public comments on
the Final Draft of the Regional Household Hazardous 'este
Element (HHWE),
August 5, 1992
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: a) That City Council receive public comments on the
Final Draft Household Hazardous Wi�i e Element
b) That City Council adopt the Ho" aehold Hazardous
Waste Element
C) That City Council adopt the attach d Resolution
Requesting the Formation of a County Service Area
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In its original torn, AB 939 called for Household
Hazardous Waste to comprise one chapter of the Source
Reduction and Recycling Element. Subsequent
legislation required this chapteir to become a
complete plan unto itself. On 1/16/91, City Council
approved a letter of support to the County to explore the!,development of a
Regional Household Hazardous Waote plan. The County Public Works
Department -Solid Waste Division, took the lead in preparing the Household
Hazardous Waste plan using input from City Managers and staff of the seven
incorporated cities. Much of the discussion during plan preparation centered
around finding some mechanism to finance implementation.
On 1/8/92, the Iii SWAM Force conducted a public hearing ori the Preliminary
Draft. This heari-n,3 was very well advertised. Unfortunately, no one showed
up. Today's public hearing on the Final Draft Household Hazardous Wasr�',
Eiement has been properly noticed. and at the time this Council Communication
was written, the News -Sentinel had planned a story to remind the public of this
hearing. The Final Draft Household RAtardcsug Waste Element is now presented tO
City council for your consideration.
The incorporated cities and the county are essentially appraching Household
Hazardous Waste management from a zero base. None of us,thave significant
Household Hazardous Waste programs in place. It therefore makes perfect sense
for all local governments to join forces and create a regional plan which will
allow us to share resources and achieve economies of scale.
The county Board of Supervisors will have overall re ponsibility for
implementing the Household Hazardous Waste plan. The County Integrated Waste
Management Plan Task Force (created by AB 939) will serve as an advisory body
co the Board of Supervisors. Council Member Sieglock reprekents the City of
Lodi on this Task Force. A technical advisory committee will provide advice
and technical assistance to the Task force. Kirk Evans represents the City of
Lodi on this committee.

As proposed in the Household Hazardous Waste Element. implementation would be
financed through a County Service Area. whereby an annual charge,of $4.00 would
be levied on all dwelling units in the County. The County Board',of Supervisors
hhs requested that all cities adopt the attached rc-4alution'requesting the
formation of a County Service Area so revenues may be collected.
It is extremely frustrating when the State creates laws ndating local
governments to implement programs that can only be financed by raising local
revenues. However, this regional plan will provide the most cost-effective
method possible for complying with State law.
