SUBJECT: Public Factual Information on County Actions Regarding
Solid Waste Management and Landfill
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKrROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Direct the County Administrator's Office to prepare and provide
impartial factual information to the general public about actions
taken by Board of Supervisors concerning solid waste management
and landfills.
This public factual information may take the form of a guest
column in print media, letters to community organizations, paid
newspaper space and radio spots. Public Service Announcements
may be used. It should set out the county's requirements for
recycling, composting, household hazardous waste collection, and
the status of landfill approvals . In addition, make the
findings, determinations and adopt the further recommendation set
out below.
BACKGROUND
After this Board's agenda for its May 22nd meeting was posted on
May 18th, we reviewed information last weekend and on Monday
being circulated and distributed about the County's solid waste
activities and the status of proposed landfills. Much of this
information is not factually adequate, some of it appears to be
incorrect and not comprehensive in its presentation. In the last
few days, several residents of our districts have contacted us
expressing confusion about the solid waste situation in the
county. The general public should be presented now, in a timely
manner, with adequate and correct impartial factual information
on these matters . Therefore, the foregoing and following
findings, determinations and actions are recommended for
adoption:
a. Determine that the need to take action on this order and
its subject arose after the May 22nd agenda was posted on Friday,
May 18th.
b. Authorize the County Administrator and his staff to
directly take the recommended actions noted above including
county payment for and securing the printing and/or other
appropriate dissemination of such impartial factual i formation
to the general public. /
