BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On June 5, 1990, the Board of Supervisors adopted a report from the
Finance Committee regarding use of the Resource Recovery Fee monies.
for the County's Resource Recovery Action Plan. That Finance
Committee report combined the recommendation to use the Resource
Recovery Fee monies received from both the Acme Transfer Station
and the Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill. The Finance Committee's
report reflected a split vote on the use of. the Resource Recovery
Fee monies received from the Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill.

The Board recommended, on a 3 to 2 vote, use of the Resource Recovery Fee
monies from both the Acme Transfer Station and the Marsh Canyon Sanitary
Landfill to carry out the Resource Recovery Action Plan.
On June 11, 1990, the Environmental Affairs Committee unanimously agreed with
using the funds received from Acme Transfer Station, but split on the use of
the funds from the Marsh Canyon Sanitary Landfill.
In assessing the costs to implement the County's Resource Recovery Action Plan,
it is clear that authorization to use the Resource Recovery Fee monies from
both the Acme Transfer Station and the Marsh Canyon Landfill is required.
Authorization to use only the Resource Recovery Fee monies from the Acme
Transfer Station limits the components of the Recycling Program that can be
funded and carried out.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Use of the Resource Recovery Fee monies from the Acme Transfer Station will
allow a few components of the Recycling Program to be implemented. Without
such funding, none of the components of the Resource Recovery Action Plan
can be implemented.
