DATE: July 13 , 1988 CpLM
SUBJECT: Fines and Penalties for Violations of
Hazardous Waste Control Laws
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County a Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the
State Department of Health Services which will streamline the
process by which the County obtains its share of fines and
penalties received from violations of hazardous waste control
laws.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law 750 of all fines and penalties for violations
of the Hazardous Waste Control Laws must be sent to the State
Department of Health Services. In turn, the State seids 250 of
these fines to the local health officer. The State Department of
Health Services has drafted a Memorandum of Understanding which.
would allow the District Attorney to forward the health officer' s
share of these fines directly to the county. This is clearly a
more efficient process which will save administrative time and
effort and result in a cash flow benefit to the county.
The District Attorney' s Office agrees with the Health Services
Director that the Board should enter into this agreement.
The funds received by the Health Services Department must be used
for local environmental health programs. Approval of this
Memorandum of Understanding will speed up the receipt of these
funds by the Health Services Department and this office,
therefore, concurs in the recommendation that the; Board enter
into this agreement.
