SAN DIEGO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Staff is recommending approval of
City's membership in the San Diego Solid Waste Management Authority to best
meet Poway's future solid waste disposal needs. There are still several
issues that need to be resolved, including resolution of the financing;
questions around the NCRRA plant in San Marcos; siting of new landfills; and
funds for the closure of existing landfills, but having participated as part
of the management committee, City Manager Bowersox stated he feels it is
better to be a member and part of the decision making process.
City Attorney Eckis stated there is one change in the agreement since it was
last discussed by the City Council. This is the weighted vote provision for
early termination within 30 days after June 1, 1994. The maximum number of
votes for any agency has been changed from 40 to 50 according to population.
If the County has less than 50% of the total population of the members they
can block any attempt at early termiantion. Based on the cities that have
joined and those that are likely to join, the County is likely to have more
than 50% of the total population.

Council discussed what the reaction of the County was likely to be if all the
cities joining wanted to terminate the agreement within the 30 day time frame;
the exposure and liability of the cities; transfer dates of assets to be
assumed by the Agency; and the liabilities and responsibilities of cities who
have chosen not to join the JPA.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna, to adopt
Resolution No. 94-056, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City
of Poway, California Authorizing the City of Poway to Enter Into the San Diego
Solid Waste Management Authority Joint Powers Agreement." Motion carried 4-0
with Councilmember Snesko absent.
