REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
At the September 9, 1986 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board
directed the County Administrator to work with the County lobbyist to seek
legislation to control the solid wastestream via the County Solid Waste
Management Plan. The Board also requested coordination and input from the
Solid Waste Commission.
At the October 1, 1986 meeting of the Solid Waste Commission, the Commis-
sion discussed the Board' s action. The legislation being proposed by the
Board would require local agencies to first obtain control of their own
wastestream by renegotiating existing franchise agreements. Secondly, each
agency would have to agree to cooperatively control the wastestream via the
County Solid Waste Management Plan. The Commission noted that various
agencies have different perspectives about renegotiating existing franchise
agreements. The Commission also noted that the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District has recently completed extensive negotiations revising
its franchise agreements and one of the points of contention was control of
the solid wastestream. The end result of these extensive negotiations was
that the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District did not obtain full control
of the wastestream. The only jurisdiction with full control of the
wastestream is the City of E1 Cerrito.
Representatives of the private-sector solid waste industry expressed
concern about the proposed legislation because such a law may make it

order to obtain financing. They requested additi i als .

Since the proposed legislation impacts each city and sanitary district, the
Commission requests each member discuss this policy with his/her

November 5 meeting, the Commission will prepare a recommendation to the
Board of Supervisors.
In the meantime, the Commission respectfully requests that the Board delay
introduction of any legislation concerning control of the solid
