RESOLUTION NO, 97-52
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
MODIFYING RESOLUTION 95-8 REGARDING FEES, CHARGES, AND
POLICY CHANGES AT THE UKIAH MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE FACILITY
WHEREAS, the Ukiah City Council adopted Resolution 95-28 declaring a solid
waste policy that supports the use of the Ukiah Solid Waste Disposal Facility as a
regional disposal site for all jurisdictions within Mendocino County during the interim
period wherein a Regional Transfer Facility is being sited and constructed; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah has obtained a Revised Solid Waste Facility
Permit which allows the disposal of up to 190 tons per day of solid waste at the Ukiah
Landfill and which will accommodate the entire waste stream within Mendocino County
until February 1999; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah acknowledges that a team approach is needed to
solve and meet our future solid waste needs and that a unified waste stream is
needed to achieve reasonable and affordable transportation and tipping fees which all
jurisdictions within Mendocino County can enjoy; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah desires to offer a competitive tipping fee to
commercial refuse collectors/haulers who dispose of refuse for the cities of Willits and
Fort Bragg and the County of Mendocino under franchise or permit to encourage
these jurisdictions to utilize the Ukiah Landfill; and
WHEREAS, the competitive rate is to be applicable only if all the waste stream
generated within the County of Mendocino under the control of the cities of Willits and
Fort Bragg, and the County of Mendocino, excepting the current waste stream of
approximately 1,200 tons per year disposed at the South Coast
Landfill, is diverted to the Ukiah Landfill for disposal; and
WHEREAS, it is proper and just that Ukiah inter-City Departments be charged
the same fee which is charged to the public for the disposal of yardwaste and

untreated/unpainted woodwaste and that said fee offsets the expense for the removal
and recycling of yardwaste and woodwaste; and
WHEREAS, the option currently provided to haulers pursuant to Paragraph K of
Resolution No. 95-8 whereby the disposal fee for loose refuse may be determined
from certified weight tags is inappropriate and inconsistent with the justification and
practice that loose refuse be charged by the cubic yard.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council for the City of
Ukiah that the following fees, charges, and procedural changes are hereby adopted
and established at the Ukiah Solid Waste Disposal Facility:
1. Should the cities of Fort Bragg and Willits and the County of Mendocino
collectively agree that the refuse collected within their jurisdiction by their
franchised or permitted collectors/haulers be directed to the Ukiah Landfill for
disposal, excluding refuse currently being disposed of at the South Coast
Landfill, approximately 1,200 tons per year, after the Willits Landfill closes on or
about June 1997, the tipping fee for compacted refuse shall be $63.00 per
compacted ton plus the adopted Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority
(MSWMA) surcharge. Should any one of the three jurisdictions not elect to
have their refuse disposed of at the Ukiah Landfill, the tipping fee shall be
$72.00 per compacted ton including a $6.00 MSWMA surcharge pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph b of Resolution No. 95-8. The tipping fee charged to
the City of Ukiah's franchised hauler for compacted refuse collected within the
City of Ukiah, shall remain at $63.00 per ton of compacted refuse including the
$6.00 MSWMA surcharge pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph h of
Resolution No. 95-8.
2. City of Ukiah inter-Departments shall be charged $3.75 per cubic yard for
disposing yardwaste and untreated/unpainted woodwaste effective July 1, 1997.
