Environmental Affairs Committee
FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson, Chair •:'i' _
Supervisor Nancy Fanden01
DATE: April 10 1990
SUBJECT: Public Education and Enforcement Program Co-
Relating to Littering
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND-JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Request the Health Services Department to schedule a
workshop to brainstorm ideas for a comprehensive litter
prevention and education program.
2. Request the Resource Recovery Specialist and Rolinda Baker
to conduct a workshop to discuss littering with convenience
stores.
3 . Request the Community Development Department to consider the
need for staffing for littering prevention programs in the
AB 939 implementation.
BACKGROUND
On December 19 , 1989 the Board of Supervisors concurred with the
concept of a three-stage program for addressing littering
problems which are identified as chronic. The first stage
involves establishing a public education program which would
describe the advantages to the property owner of maintaining
their property in a clean and neat condition, and would elicit
the support of the community in wanting to keep their
neighborhood clean. The Board requested the Health Services
staff to prepare a more detailed program and to present it to the
Internal Operations Committee. This item was subsequently
transferred to the Environmental Affairs Committee when it was
formed in January of this year. We believe that in formulating
this public education program for littering, that it would be
extremely helpful to conduct a workshop to brainstorm ideas. The
cities, the sanitary districts, the AB 939 Task Force, school
districts, school principals, and student body government leaders
should be among those invited to such a workshop.
The existing County code requires takeout food establishments to
collect litter within 300 feet of their business which is
generated from their establishment. We believe that it - would be
beneficial to hold a workshop with these business owners to
explain this ordinance.
