The new fee monies have become available at a time when the
County is legally obligated to expand its solid waste planning
program to comply with the planning mandates of AB 939, and at a
time when it is prudent for the County to expand its action
programs in order to be able to meet the waste reduction
objectives (a 25% reduction by 1995; a 50% reduction by 2000 )
which AB 939 mandates to be met through the new City and County
Integrated Waste Management Plans. Consequently, staff proposes
to use the monies available from the tipping surcharge (now $ .95
per ton) for establishing and carrying out the AB 939-mandated
planning process, and to use the approximately $300,000 available
from the solid waste facilities ' fees for the conduct of the
resource recovery action program outlined below.
It is noted that AB 939 generally allows the tipping fee
surcharge ( formerly restricted to planning) to be used for action
programs to implement the new plan once it is adopted. Also, the
Condition 36. 4 fee is to be reviewed when the Board considers a
franchise agreement; the Board may wish to re-allocate the
fee/franchise fee monies at that time.
In general terms, staff proposes to apply the $300 , 000 to the
following program components:
County (Internal) Programs
- County Building Recycling
- Detention Facility Waste Processing
- Supply Procurement Guidelines
Unincoporated Area Programs
- Unincoporated Area Franchising
- Curbside Recycling
Action Component Development
- Commercial/Industrial Recycling
- Yard Waste Composting
- Wood Waste Utilization
- Waste Paper Recycling (Market Development)
- Plastics Recycling (Task Force Participation)
- Litter Control (Assist Health Services Department)
- Household Hazardous Waste Control (Assist Health Services
Department)
- Recycled Material Market Development
- Packaging Reduction
- Market Development
Outreach and Public Information Program Development
- School Program
- Recycling Corps
- Promotion (Hotline)
The proposed work programs, budgets and priorities for these
items are being developed in conjunction with the proposed budget
for AB 939 planning work. It is noted that almost all of the
program components are on-going efforts or efforts that will take
several years to accomplish. Although the intention is to
address all of the items between now and the end of the FY
1990-91 fiscal year, time, budget, and AB 939 coordination will
require prioritization. The $300,000 action program will, of
course, cover the salary of the Resource Recycling Specialist and
the expenses of her office, as well as the costs of other
employees assigned (typically, part-time) to work on the
components.
