CITY OF BAKERSFIELD PROVIDING FORTHE
DESIGNATION OF THE SOLID WASTE MANAGE-
MENT LOCAL TASK FORCE.
WHEREAS, with the passage of Assembly Bill 939 into law
(Chapter 1095 of the Statutes of 1990) the State Legislature
found:
1) there was no coherent state policy to ensure
that the state's solid waste is managed in an
effective and environmentally sound manner
for the remainder of the 20th century and
beyond,
2)
declared that the responsibility for solid
waste management is to be a shared
responsibility between the state and local
governments,
3)
declared that the Sate shall exercise its
legal authority in a manner that ensures an
effective and coordinated approach to the
safe management of all solid waste generated
within the State, and
4)
declared that it is in the public interest
for the State to require cities and counties
to make adequate provision for solid waste
handling, both within their respective
jurisdictions and in response to regional
needs;
and
WHEREAS, in part, Chapter 1095 of the Statutes of 1990
(the "Sher Bill") adds Division 30 (commencing with Section 4000)
to the Public Resources Code, which requires all cities and
counties to undertake certain activities with respect to solid
waste; and
WHEREAS, among the activities required to be undertaken
at the local level is the appointment of a local task force to
assist in coordinating the development of city source reduction
and recycling plans and the county-wide siting plan; and
WHEREAS, the membership of this task force is to be
determined by the board of supervisors and a majority of the
cities within the county which contain a majority of the
population in the county and may include representatives of the
solid waste industry, environmental organizations, general
public, special districts, and affected governmental agencies;
and
W~EREAS, the task force is to ensure a coordinated and
cost-effective regional recycling system by doing all of the
following:
1)
identifying solid waste management issues of
county-wide or regional concern,
2)
determining the need for solid waste
collection systems, processing facilities,
and marketing strategies that can serve more
than one local jurisdiction with the region,
3)
facilitating the development of multi-
jurisdictional arrangements for the marketing
of recyclable materials,
4)
to the extent possible, facilitating
resolution of conflicts and inconsistencies
between or among city source reduction and
recycling elements, and
5)
develop goals, policies, and procedures to
guide the development of siting plans and the
county-wide integrated waste management plan;
and
W~EREAS, through the efforts and support of the solid
waste management industry, various cities within Kern County, and
interested citizens, the County of Kern initially ordered the
creation of a committee to advise the Board of Supervisors on
solid waste matters on September 16, 1980; and
W~EREAS, although the composition of the County's Solid
Waste Advisory Committee and the scope of its activities have
increased since first convened, the workings of the Committee
have evidenced its ability to undertake the activities mandated
by the $her Bill to the Local Task Force; and
W~LEREAS, it is the intent of this resolution that the
current Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee of the County
of Kern be designated the Local Task Force and be authorized and
directed to undertake those activities set forth in the Sher Bill
appropriate to this designation;
