Contacts glary Fleming (610/335-1230) ATTESTED Au gu a v 17 . 1222 cc: Community Development Department (CDD) PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR EYE , DEPUTY Formation of Local Task Force August 17, 1999 Page 2 BACKGROUNDREASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS State regulations implementing AB939 require that eery County have a Local Task Force(LTF)to assist in coordinating the development and implementation of the Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (S s), Non-Disposal Facility Elements (N-DFEs) and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs). The LTF is also responsible for identifying solid waste management issues of Countywide or regional concern and determining the need for solid waste collection and transfer systems, processing facilities, and marketing strategies that can serve more than one local jurisdiction within the region. They should facilitate the development of multi jurisdictional arrangements for the marketing of recyclable materials and facilitate resolution of conflicts and inconsistencies between or among city and county source reduction and recycling elements. Mate staff indicated that the County needs to reestablish its LTF. Membership of the Task Force is suggested by state regulations but it is the decision of the County and the Cities to provide for the membership that they decide is most appropriate to their needs. Membership is to be determined by the County and a rnjority of the Cities which contain a majority of the incorporated papulation. The LTF acts in an advisory capacity and makes recommendations to various agencies on such things as revisions to SRREs,NDFEs and HHWEs. Final decision making would continue to be a local agency responsibility. On'March 24, 1995 the Board directed staff to pursue the formation of a committee with City staff` and return with a proposal for the fora and membership of a Local Task Farce. Aber numerous discussions over a period of months the preferred configuration for a Focal Task.Force appeared to be one in the general format provided in Attachment A "Local Task.Force Policy" The most likely task for the committee at this time will be to review and provide comments on various jurisdictions revised. SRREs,NDFEs and FIH6TEs. The most cost effective and time efficient method of providing an acceptable LTF is to create a committee with membership consisting of one representative from each Joint Powers Authority, one from the County and one from each city not represented by a Joint Powers Authority: The Committee would have meetings on an as needed basis only. Most of the work would be accomplished through the avail and with individual reviews of documents. The County would maintain a distribution list which includes all Task Force members and would provide that list to project proposing agencies that are seeking LTF review and comments. The proposing agency would then collect all comments and submit them to the State. This Policy, along with a membership list and a sample Distribution Letter was sent to the two Solid Taste Authorities and the remaining 8 cities to request that their City Councils be asked to give approval to the formation of the Local Task Force. The result of their consideration of the proposal is as follows; The fare cities represented by the Voest Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (WCCIVa MA) approved the formation of the Task Force as an Authority action, the remaining thirteen cities also approved the formation of the Local Task Force as individual city actions. Membership of the committee requires approval by the County and a majority of the cities Mthin the county which contain a majority of the papulation of the incorporated area of the County. All of the cities have approved the formation of the LTF in the form recommended by staff. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the formation of a Contra Costa County Local Task Force, direct staff to set up a process for operation of the task force which will include notification to the State that the requested action has occurred.
