<br />3. Self hauled waste is not regulated by the State or by city permit or <br />franchise. <br /> <br />4. Self-haulers operate outside the recycling infrastructure and <br />therefore do not pay their fair share of recycling costs as do <br />residents and businesses. <br /> <br />5. With self hauled waste it is difficult to accurately determine its <br />jurisdiction of origin. <br /> <br />E. Adoption of a surcharge on self hauled waste a preferable option as it is a <br />market-driven, economically based solution; provides self-haulers with <br />facility choices; encourages private sector market and diversion facility <br />development; results in no increase to city contract rates through 2010; <br />equalizes competition among self-haulers; has minimal impacts to <br />operations and administration; and generates revenue to administer the <br />program and develop countywide diversion programs. <br /> <br />Section 2. The City Council supports the County's proposed AB 939 surcharge <br />of $19 per ton on self hauled waste at County landfills to encourage increased recycling by <br />self haulers. <br /> <br />Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by <br />the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting <br />this Resolution. <br /> <br />ADOPTED this <br /> <br />day of <br /> <br />,2006. <br /> <br />Miguel A.
