Bragdon, Director �Contra Community Development Department Costa DATE'. �l �/C0 11'1(1/ SUBJECT: April 28, 1987 1.1� Control of the Solid Wastestream SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION Postpone introduction of legislation concerning control of the solid wastestream via the Solid Waste Management Plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND On September 9, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the County Administrator to work with the County lobbyist to seek legislation to control the wastestream via the County Solid Waste Management Plan. The Board also requested coordination and input from the Solid Waste Commission. At the December 17, 1986 meeting of the Solid Waste Commission, the Commission concluded that this type of legislation is not necessary at this time. The Commission agreed that local agencies should obtain control of the solid wastestream, but does not feel that it is necessary, at this time, to jointly exercise that control through the Solid Waste Management Plan. The Board on January 13 , 1987 accepted the report from the Solid Waste Commission and deferred any action on the legislation until solid waste questionnaires, as requested by County Mayors Conference, were returned by the cities and sanitary districts. At the February Mayors Conference meeting staff reported on the result of the questionnaires returned. The Mayors Conference referred the results of the survey to the Landfill Siting Task Force. Fifteen out of a possible twenty six responses were received from cities and sanitary districts.

There does not appear to be a strong feeling the wastestream needs to be controlled via the Solid 'Waste Management Plan. This issue has been discussed by the Board and the Solid Waste Commission many times. Staff feels that control the wastestream will occur contractually between cities and operators of transfer stations and landfills. These contracts will have to be in conformance with an existing County Solid Waste Management Plan. Staff feels that there is adequate control of the wastestream through the existing County Solid Waste Management Plan process and even if legislation were introduced, existing contracts could not be superseded.
