SUBJECT: Task Force for Integrated Waste Management Plan
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution approving the membership of the Integrated Waste Management
Plan Task Force; reconstitute the Solid. Waste Commission as the nucleus of the
Task Force and express appreciation to the Commission for their past assistance
and advice; request the cities to consider approving a 22-member Task Force with
an additional Board representative and a representative of Richmond; and request
the Environmental Affairs Committee to recommend appointees for the unfilled
seats of the Task Force for the Board's consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
AB 939 requires that the County convene the Task Force and allows use of the
landfill tipping fee to finance staffing. The current landfill tipping fee
includes a Task Force staffing component. AB 939 does not allow the use of the
landfill tipping fee to finance staffing of the Solid Waste Commission.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Under AB 939, a majority . of cities with a majority of the population and the
Board of Supervisors must approve the membership of the Task Force. The cities
of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, Lafayette, Martinez, Orinda,
Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon and Walnut Creek have
approved resolutions establishing a 20-member Task Force.
After the membership was reviewed by the Board of Supervisors and recommended by
the Mayors Conference for approval, the City of Richmond suggested that an
additional member be added to the Task Force representing the City of Richmond.
On February 27, 1990 the Board of Supervisors concurred with the City of
Richmond's position and suggested that an additional Board member be on the Task
Force. So not to delay the formation of the Task Force, Staff suggests that the
Board consider adopting the 20-member Task Force at this time. At the same
time, the Board could recommend that the cities adopt a new resolution approving
the membership of the expanded Task Force.

M382/7-83 BY DEPUTY
The Solid Waste Commission has been the advisory body to the Board of
Supervisors in all areas of solid waste. The Task Force has specific charges
under state law which are directly related to the development and implementation
of the new Integrated Waste Management Plan. This will be a monumental effort
over the next few years, considering the short time frames and complex
regulations governing the new Plan. When the Solid Waste Commission recommended
that it become the nucleus of the new Task Force, it did not specify whether or
not it expected to continue as a discrete body. From a logistical and financial
perspective, it would seem best if the Commission were folded into the Task
Force. Task Force bylaws could be constructed to allow consideration of
referrals from the Board of Supervisors on a variety of issues.
The Clerk of the Board administers a nomination process for appointments to
Boards and Commissions. Staff has sent letters to a variety of organizations
inviting nominations for Task Force members.
