ITEM 3 (701-04)
ORDINANCE NO. 496/FIRST READING
SOLID WASTE PROGRAM COSTS
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing and read the title of Ordinance No. 496, "An
Ordinance of the City of Poway, California Amending Certain Sections of Chapter 8.68 of
the Poway Municipal Code Regulating Solid Waste, Recyclables, Yard Waste and Other
Compostable Materials Handling Services." City Manager Bowersox stated that the
proposed ordinance would establish a mechanism to pay solid waste program operational
expenses. In 1989, State Assembly Bill 939 was signed into law and required all
municipalities to divert at least 50% of their solid waste from landfill disposal sites by
January 1, 2000 or face fines of $10,000 per day. It also required that local jurisdictions
collect and dispose of household hazardous waste (HHW) in separately licensed disposal
sites.
Upon the closure of the San Marcos Landfill and the unknown future of the Palomar
Transfer Station in Carlsbad, north San Diego County cities had to establish a cost-
effective alternative for solid waste management. Additionally, when the County sold its
landfills to a private firm, the prior method of funding the county-wide HHW through part
of the tipping fee ended. The cities of Poway, Vista, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar,
National City and Lemon Grove formed a joint powers association, the Regional Solid
Waste Association (RSWA) to work together to identify economical and reliable disposal
options.
At the September 16, 1997 Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare amendments
to section 8.68 of the Poway Municipal Code and the franchise agreement to permit the
RSWA and the HHW operating expenses to be incorporated into a service fee of the City's
franchise hauler as authorized under AB939.
Director of Public Services Williams noted that the proposed ordinance would be amended
to include manure and manure service as an exclusion under the franchise scope.
Additional housekeeping items include the revision from 40 to 32 gallon containers for
single can rates and identification of the cooperative process between the franchisee and
the City regarding service bins brought in by other haulers.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to waive further
reading and continue the public hearing to March 31, 1998 for second reading, with the
modifications noted by staff. Motion carried unanimously.
