City and Kern County

times to update the language in the agreement dOcument.
Committee Chair Carson recommended this item be put on the agenda as a
joint item with presentations from both the County and City Fire Chiefs and
allow at least 15 minutes.
b. Sitiing of a Metropolitan Bakersfield Solid Waste TranSfer Station
Public Works Director Raul Rojas explained this is a proposed future transfer
station for trash. Instead of the refuse trucks hauling directly to the landfill, the
trucks go to the transfer station where the trash is compacted and hauled in a
semi-truck to the landfill. This transfer would cut down on the trips, time, fuel,
air pollution and traffic. The County Solid Waste Advisory Committee has
been exploring how a transfer station could be accomplished jointly by the
County, City and private haulers. There may be Federal grant funding
available from the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) program. County
I Waste Management Director Daphne Harley and Solid Waste Director Kevin
: Barnes will be making an informational presentation.
Committee Chair Carson recommended this item be placed on the agenda as
a joint item and suggested allowing 30 to 45 minutes for the presentations and
questions.

proposal for ~A cent sales tax for transportation

presentation.
