Support -AB .828, amended May 22, 1985, sponsored by Assemblyman Klehs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 828 would prevent a municipal ordinance, adopted by initiative, from requiring
that the establishment of a facility designed .to convert =solid waste- =into Lenergy, or any
government action regarding the facility, be subject to approval of greater than a majority
of the voters voting on the issue. If municipalities are allowed to require greater than
the majority of approval for a waste-to-energy facility, the use of waste-to-energy plants
as an alternative for solid waste disposal could be significantly hindered.
The Solid Waste Commission, at its June 19, 1985 meeting, approved the recommendation to
the Board to support this bill .
