SUBJECT: Task Force for Waste Management Plan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
ACCEPT the reports on the Task Force to implement AB 939 and REQUEST that the
cities consider the Task Force proposal.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
AB 939 allows use -of the tipping fee to fund the Task Force and its staff
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On January 16, 1990 the Board of Supervisors requested Staff to return to the
Board with a proposal for the composition of the Task Force required under AB
939. The Task Force is responsible for coordinating the development of the
Waste Management Plan.
Under AB 939, the membership of the Task Force is determined by the Board of
Supervisors and the majority of cities within the County which contain a
majority of the population. Staff recommends that the proposal for the Task
Force be forwarded to the Mayors' Conference and the cities for their review and
approval.
The Solid Waste Commission has reviewed the requirements of AB 939 and has
recommended that the Solid Waste Commission form the base of the new Task Force.
Additional members are suggested to represent the solid waste industry,
environmental organizations and the general public.
Staff basically concurs with the recommendation of the Solid Waste Commission.
A broad representation of interests could be achieved by adding at least seven
new members to the Commission including city representatives from West County,
South County and Far East County, and representatives of the solid waste
industry, environmental organizations and general public.
