ACCEPT the report on the waiverof the $6/ton solid waste surcharge by Alameda
County and AUTHORIZE the Chair to transmit a letter to Alameda County expressing

BACKGROUND/REASONS . FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In March, the Board of Supervisors formally requested Alameda County to waive the
$6/ton recycling surcharge on waste from Contra Costa received at the Altamont
Landfill. - The surcharge was. to be imposed pursuant to the Alameda County Waste
Reduction Recycling Initiative Charter Amendment. However, the charter amendment
also provided that the Alameda County Board of Supervisors could waive collection
of the surcharge if it was found to be in violation of an existing contract or
agreement.
On June 4 , 1991, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors waived the solid
recycling surcharge- pursuant to the amendment. Supervisor Ed Campbell, member of
the Alameda County Waste Authority Negotiating Committee, made the motion for the
waiver and, in doing so, spoke in favor of the waiver. Steve Szalay, County
Administrator, and Kelvin Booty,: County Counsel, also spoke on the issue saying
that they saw no problems with the Alameda County Board of Supervisors approving
the waiver. The waiver passed with three ayes (Ed Campbell., Don Perata, Warren
Widener) and one abstention (Mary King) .
