CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT Council Meeting of April 1, 1997 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members FROM: Daryl J. Parrish, Assistant City ManagersT::� APPROVAL: Malik D. Freeman, City Mana r V—QF- SUBJECT: Renewal of Household Hazardous Waste Agreement between the County of San Bernardino (County Fire Department) and the City of Colton DATE: March 25, 1997 - BACKGROUND: The California Public Resources Code requires Cities to prepare a Household Hazardous Waste Element which identifies a program for the safe collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes which are generated by households in the city and which should be separated from the solid waste stream. The County of San Bernardino and the Cities therein have developed Household Hazardous Waste Elements which identify a county -wide cooperative program for the management of Household Hazardous Waste. The existing Household Hazardous Waste management program is operated by the County of San Bernardino Fire Department. The City of Colton is currently a participant in the county -wide cooperative collection program. DISCUSSION: The County of San Bernardino Hazardous Waste management program is based on a central processing facility and a regional network of collection centers. The collection centers where Colton residents can deliver household hazardous waste (most conveniently), for proper recycling, treatment or disposal (free of charge), are located in Rialto (Willow Avenue) and San Bernardino (old Norton AFB). Last year County residents deposited in excess of 1.2 million pounds of household hazardous waste into the County collection system with over 12,000 pounds deposited by Colton residents. The program provides additional benefits to the community including assurance that Colton meets its NPDES permit storm water requirements, assurance that Colton meets its AB939/AB2707 SRRE and HHWE mandated plan requirements, it provides unlimited recycled paint for graffiti abatement (at no charge) and, it provides the City of Colton with grant funding for fiscal year 1997/98 in the amount of $13,795. The attached agreement is for five years to become effective July 1, 1997, and runs through June 30, 2002. The agreement contains a clause that allows each party the right to terminate the agreement upon providing ninety days written notice. Item No. 10
