EXHIBIT 1 ROH: 03/19/19 RESOLUTION NO. 2019- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA REAFFIRMING THE DESIGNATION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS A RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Public Resources Code section 42010 provides for the establishment of the Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) program throughout the State, which provides incentives to stimulate development of post- consumer and secondary materials markets for recyclables. B. Pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 989), all California jurisdictions must meet a 50% reduction in landfill waste disposal. C. The development of local markets for recycled materials reduces the need to transport such materials out of the region. D. The current and proposed waste management practices and conditions are favorable to the development of post -consumer and secondary waste materials markets. E. On July 7, 2015, the City Council adopted a resolution to designate the City of Santa Ana as a RMDZ as a participant in the Orange County Recycling Market Development Zone (OCRMDZ) under the lead designation of the City of Huntington Beach. F. On September 15, 2015, the City Council reaffirmed a resolution to designate Santa Ana as a participant in the Zone due to the addition of the County of Orange's desire to become a new member of the Zone. G. Each year, other Orange County cities are invited to become members of the OCRMDZ. If new jurisdictions wish to join the OCRMDZ, the State program requires that cities adopt a new resolution approving their current designation and the designation of any new members to the Zone. The cities of Fullerton and Lake Forest have requested to be added to the Zone. 55A-3 Resolution No. 2019-
