TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE JANUARY 16, 1991
SUBJECT: REGIONAL PLAN FOR DEALING WITH HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council approve a letter of support for
exploring the feasibility of developing a Regional
Household Hazardous Waste Element.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Recent legislation has amended the requirements of
Assembly Bill 939. The City of Lodi is now required
to prepare a Household Hazardous Waste Element in
addition to our Source Reduction and Recycling
Element. City Council has authorized the City Manager
to prepare an agreement with EMCON Associates for the preparation of both these
elements.
At a meeting of the County's Integrated Waste Management Task Force on
Wednesday, January 9, 1991, Tom Horton, Director of San Joaquin County's Solid
Waste Division, presented a proposal regarding the Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) Element. Essentially, Mr. Horton proposed that all cities and the County
of San Joaquin, join in a regional approach to the implementation of the HHW
Element. This could consist of one permanent HHW collection facility which
would serve all of San Joaquin County. Another component might be a mobile unit
based at this facility which would move from city to city conducting HHW
collection/processing events. The County has requested letters of support for
this proposal. Attached (Exhibit A) is a copy of the City's letter.
Respectfully submitted,
