AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
Monday, March 29, 1993
12:00 noon
City. Manager's Conference Room
1. County. Landfill Gate Fees (Paul Dow/Joel Heinrichs)
Staff discussed the potential negative impacts of the County implementing gate
fees on commercial businesses with the Committee. Alan Tandy discussed
previous conversations with Joel Heinrichs of the County regarding options to
lessen the impacts to the City. Alan expressed concerns about illegal dumping
in the City by unincorporated area residents and businesses because universal
refuse collection is not being implemented. Options discussed by Alan and Joel
included discounted gate fees for City Commercial Service, adopting a specific
schedule for the 'implementation of universal collection, and a possible joint
powers authority which could include county islands and adjacent unincorporated
areas in universal collection like other City areas.
Joel Heinrichs met with the Committee and expressed the County's concerns
regarding implementing universal collection and acknowledged the City's
legitimate concerns regarding illegal dumping. The Committee made it clear that
the implementation of gate fees without a significant move to universal collection
by the County was unacceptable to the City.
The Committee directed staff to continue to work with the County and to come
back with a proposal to address this issue. The County has scheduled a public
hearing on the gate fee issue for April 27 at 2:00 p.m. Budget and Finance will
meet again .on April 21 to discuss this matter further..
