CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT Council Meeting of April 18, 2000 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members APPROVAL: Henry T. Garcia, City Manager FROM: Daryl J. Parrish, Assistant CityManager IF SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment NO. 1 to the Waste Disposal Agreement between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton DATE: April 10, 2000 The Waste Disposal Agreement ("WDA") approved by the City Council and the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors in April 1998, essentially committed the municipal solid waste generated in City of Colton to the County of San Bernardino Landfill System for a period of fifteen (15) years in exchange for a reduced disposal rate. At the time the Waste Disposal Agreement was approved, Appendix 1 to the agreement (the appendix specifically naming the landfill within the county landfill system where Colton's solid waste will be disposed) designated the Colton Landfill (and only the Colton Landfill) as the disposal site for Colton's municipal solid waste. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The estimated remaining life of the Colton Landfill as estimated by the County of San Bernardino Solid Waste Division is approximately four years. The Waste Disposal Agreement is for a term of fifteen (15) years, with thirteen (13) remaining. If all remains the same, the remaining term of the Waste Disposal Agreement will exceed the life of the landfill designated to accept Colton's municipal solid waste. Based on that fact an alternative site(s) must be designated in the agreement. The suggested Amendment NO. 1 to the Waste Disposal Agreement accomplishes that by additionally designating the Mid Valley Landfill and the San Timoteo Landfill as authorized facilities for the disposal of Colton's municipal solid waste. We anticipate this proposed amendment to go before the County Board of Supervisors on April 25, 2000. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None FISCAL IMPACT: RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approves and authorizes the Mayor Pro Tem to execute the attached Amendment NO. 1 to the Waste Disposal Agreement between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton.
