BACKGROUND The County Solid Waste Manager updated the Committee on the formation of the AB 939 Task Force at our February 12 , 1990 meeting. The proposed membership of the Task Force was reviewed by the Mayors` Conference on February 1, 1990. The Mayors ' Conference recommended that the membership be approved by the cities in Contra Costa County with the addition of one member representing the Delta Diablo Sanitary District. A sample resolution (refer to attached) which outlines the membership of the 20-member Integrated Waste Management Plan Task Force, was sent to each of the cities. The County Solid Waste Manager will follow-up with city staff to ensure that this item is placed on their agendas. It was noted that there will be one representative from the sanitary districts of Byron, Mt. View, Crockett-Valona, Oakley, and Kensington Community Services District. Our Committee believes that it is important that this position be rotated among the above-named sanitary districts. The County Solid Waste Manager reviewed the breakdown of the $52 . 22 per ton transfer station rate. Our Committee believes that it is important for this information to be distributed to the cities within our County.
