SUBJECT:
RESOURCE RECOVERY PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Reaffirm the Board' s position that the proposed Resource
Recovery Program, which is to be funded by the Acme transfer
station, is to .be a countywide program.
2. Establish a goal of hiring a full-time Resource Recovery
Specialist to implement the County' s . Resource Recovery
Program by September 1, 1988 and to further that goal, order
the Director of Personnel to place before the Board on June
21 the proposed creation of a Resource Recovery Specialist
position.
3. Request staff from the Community Development Department to
report back to the Board of Supervisors on the status of
resource recovery public education programs in other
jurisdictions and how the proposed Resource Recovery
Specialist position would coordinate resource recovery
public education efforts with these other jurisdictions.
4. Refer to the Budget Committee the issue of funding for the
Resource Recovery Specialist position in the event funding
is not forthcoming from Acme Fill for the transfer station.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors has conditioned the land use permit for
the Acme transfer station with a requirement that an annual
payment of $100,000 be made to the County to support a countywide
Resource Recovery Program.
Community Development Department staff have asked that the Board
of Supervisors clarify and restate its intent that the funds from
the transfer station be used in a countywide Resource Recovery
Program and indicate that an essential and important component of
that program is public education about resource recovery.
Our Committee met with staff from the Personnel Department on May
23 regarding the* timing for creation, recruiting, testing and
hiring a Resource Recovery Specialist. The Personnel Department

Resource Recovery -2-
plans to have the creation of the position on the Board' s agenda
June 21, 1988. Allowing a reasonable length of time for
recruitment and testing, we believe it is possible to have a
Resource Recovery Specialist hired and on board by September 1.
Because of concerns expressed about how the Resource Recovery
Specialist would coordinate the proposed resource recovery public
education program with the programs already underway in other
jurisdictions we are requesting a further report from staff on
this issue. In addition, because it is unclear just when Acme
Fill will make its payment to support this position we are asking
that the funding issue be referred to the Budget Committee.
