10c. Matter of Draft Update Report on County Solid Waste Management Plan
(CoSW~m)
The Public Works Director explained his memo and the (CoSWMP) Report noting
the increase in refuse is coming from those outside the City limits and
believes they aren't paying proportionally.
The City Manager stated that 50% of the refuse brought to the City's Solid
Waste site is from outside the corporate City limits.
Mayor Henderson requested background on the City's and County's contractual
agreement on the solid waste site use, how the City acquired the dump, and
when and if the dump ran in a deficit did the County aid the City with funds.
The City Manager responded further noting that he believes the issue is the
life of the landfill and that it is an asset to the City not the daily cost of
running the operation. He believes the life of a landfill can be extended if
more dollars were spent.
Councilmember Shoemaker expressed a desire for more investigation into
alternatives to the kinds of refuse going to the solid waste site. He will
schedule presentations on composting and possible separation of refuse.
There was considerable discussion on the proposed recommendations.
M/S Schneiter/Kier notify the County Board of Supervisors that a request for a
substantial annual payment be made by the County for the continued use of
space at the City's solid waste site by its residents and that by 1991, the
County will no longer use the site. The motion was carried by the following
roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Schneiter, Shoemaker, Hickey, Kier, and
Mayor Henderson.
The City Manager noted the (CoSWMP) Report requests comments.
Councilmember Kier stated the report shows refuse is not increasing, but the
City's memo shows it is.
10d. Discussion of Tarp Requirements - Shoemaker
Councilmember Shoemaker explained his thoughts for wanting to enforce the tarp
requirement and suggested some ways to do so; have a police officer at the
dump site, signs on highway to the site and at the site noting the
requirement, increasing the dump fee for no tarp, and request continued CHP
and City Police assistance in citing those not complying.
Gil Ashoff, from the Vichy Springs Investors, stated he believes an increased
fee for no tarp is a good idea.
Council suggested a discount fee for tarped loads as opposed to increased fee
for no tarp.
It was decided that signs will be posted on the highway to the dump and at the
dump site and that the CHP will be asked to continue their patrol.
