The program makes available "under agreement" a localized permitted Greenwaste processor, that can accept Greenwaste products accountable under A.B. 939 requirements, which in turn can apply towards mandated diversion credits for the City of Colton. (Attached Exhibit "C" Agreement) DISCIISSION The State of California recognizes the need for the City of Colton to initiate a Greenwaste diversion program in order to meet its mandated goals and diversion percentages by the dates established under State law and the local S.R.R.E. (see attached Exhibit "A, B"). In order to establish a Greenwaste program for either the diversion of City generated Greenwaste (i.e. parks, parkways and street trees), and or any future residential programs, a processor. "Recognized under the states program", that will receive and regenerated a product material, is necessary so that credits may be applied towards the cities diversion programs. FINANCIAL Currently the only disposal of Greenwaste in bulk available to the City is landfill disposal at $36.00 per ton, Inland Empire composting will accept all City Greenwaste at $16.50 per ton, and all Greenwaste by others at $20.00 per ton of which the City would receive a 50Q per ton franchise fee, (Host City Fee). Probably cost savings and fee generated of approximately $3000,000 per year. � � '�S[�, ` /�
