CITY COUNCIL CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the City Council Meeting on June 15, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Manager FROM: Robb R. Steel, Redevelopment Directore,�5_ Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Submittal of a Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) Re -designation Application to Expand the Agua Mansa RMDZ to Include Portions of the City of San Bernardino and New Areas in the City of Colton DATE: April 27, 1999 Backeround/Discussion: In 1986, the City of Colton entered into a Joint Partnership with the cities of Riverside and Rialto and the Counties of San Bernardino and Riverside to create the Agua Mansa Enterprise Zone (EZ). The Agua Mansa Industrial Growth Association (A!�UGA) is the governing body of the EZ and is comprised of an elected official from each of the five jurisdictions. California Senate Bill 1322 created the Recycling Market Development Zone Program in 1990. The Program was established to provide low-interest loans to businesses that use recycled materials as a feedstock for processing or manufacturing and that are located within a designated Zone. The State established a limit of forty (40) zones statewide. Each zone was established through a competitive process, which concluded in 1995. On August 31, 1993, the California Integrated Waste Management Board granted AMIGA's request for the Agua Mansa Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) designation. The Agua Mansa RMDZ sunsets in August 2003. In 1997, the City of San Bernardino requested and received approval from the AMIGA Board to be included in the Agua Mansa RMDZ. Because of the City of San Bernardino's request to expand the zone and the application process that would be required as part of such, the City of Colton decided it prudent to expand our existing zone and minimize the total amount of application processes. Each expanding jurisdiction is responsible for conducting an Environmental Review of their expansion area pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as required by the application process.
