SUBJECT: LEGISLATION TO INSURE FULL REIMBURSEMENT TO COUNTIES FOR ALL
STATE-MANDATED COSTS TO IMPLEMENT, MAINTAIN AND UPDATE THE

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the County, Administrator to include in the County' s 1991
Legislative Program a proposal calling on the County Supervisors'
Association of California (CSAC) and League of California Cities
to sponsor legislation providing for full reimbursement to
counties for all state-mandated ' costs associated with the
implementation, maintenance and on-going administration of the
Hazardous Waste Management Plan as has been recommended by the
Hazardous Materials Commission and the Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) .
BACKGROUND:
As the Board of Supervisors is aware, the County has prepared and
submitted to the State Department of Health Services a Hazardous
Waste Management Plan (Tanner Plan) as is provided for in State
Law (AB 2948, Chapter 1504, Statutes of 1986) . The original
legislation appropriated $10 million to assist counties to pay
for the cost of preparing the Hazardous Waste Management Plan.
That money, while greatly appreciated, did not even cover this
County' s costs of preparing the Plan. This County has one of the
few Tanner Plans which has been approved by the State.
It is now consuming a large amount of time to implement the Plan,
and educate the community and businesses to the requirements of

the plan. As applications for facility siting begin to be
processed the review and decision as to whether an application is
consistent with the Tanner Plan will require time. The staffing
of the Hazardous Materials Commission requires time. In three
years it will be necessary to update the Tanner Plan and have it
readopted by the cities and the Board of Supervisors. All of
this work is currently 100% a county expense because there is no
longer any funding available from the State.
At its last meeting on October 22, 1990 the Hazardous Materials
Commission voted to recommend to the Board of Supervisors that it
ask CSAC and the League of California Cities to sponsor
legislation which would provide some mechanism by which the
counties could fully reimburse themselves for all state-mandated
costs associated with the implementation, maintenance and
updating of the Tanner Plan.
At the last meeting of the ABAG Hazardous Waste Management
Facility Allocation Committee the Committee also voted
unanimously to recommend that each city and county in the ABAG
region adopt a position . requesting the State Legislature to enact
legislation that will identify a dedicated, on-going source of
revenue for the planning, implementation and update of county and
regional hazardous waste management plans. Staff was asked by
one of this County' s representatives to the Facility Allocation
Committee, Councilwoman Rosemary Corbin of Richmond, to forward
this recommendation on behalf of ABAG to the Board of
Supervisors.
We are, therefore, on behalf of the Hazardous Materials
Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments,
recommending that . the Board of Supervisors direct that such a
proposal be included in the County' s 1991 Legislative Program
which we hope to return to the Board of Supervisors on November
27, 1990 .
