AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to receive public comments on the Final Draft of the
Regional Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE).
MEETING DATE: July 15, 1992
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: a) That City Council receive public comments on the
Final Draft Household Hazardous Waste Element
b) That City Council adopt the Household Hazardous
Waste Element
c) That City Council adopt the attached Resolution
Requesting the Formation of a County Service Area
BACKGROUND INFORMATIOt1: In its original form, AS 939 called for Household
Hazardous Waste to comprise one chapter of the Source
Reduction and Recycling Element. Subsequent
legislation required this chapter 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 Waste 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 Lodi SWAM Force conducted a public hearing on the Preliminary
Draft. This hearing was very well advertised. Unfortunately, no one showed
up. Today's public hearing on the Final Draft Househoid Hazardous Waste
Element has been properly noticed, and at the time this Council Communication
was written, the News -Sentinel :iad planned a story to remind the public of this
hearing. The Final Draft Household Hazardous Waste Element is now presented to
City Council for your consideration.
The incorporated cities and the county are essentially approaching Household
Hazardous Waste management from a zero base. None of us have 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.

For the short term, the Household Hazardous Waste Element calls for a series of
one -day collection events throughout the County. An intensive public education
program will also be implemented to encourage source reduction of Yousehold
Hazardous Waste. By the year 2001, a permanent Household Hazaraous Waste
facility, staffed with County or contract employees will be established in some
central location in the County. This facility will >cc�pt Household Hazardous
Waste and will act as a home base for a mobile unit which wil.l be used to
conduct periodic collection events around the County.
As proposed in the Household Hazardous Waste Element, implementation would L.�e
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
has request, 9 that all cities adopt the attached resolution requesting the
formation of a County Service Area so revenues may be collected.
It is extremely frustrating when the State creates laws mandating 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.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
