ROM: 07/07/15 RESOLUTION NO, 2015- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA TO DESIGNATE THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS A RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE (RMDZ) 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. Pursuant to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), all California jurisdictions must meet a 50% reduction in landfill waste disposal. C. The development of local markets for recycled materials would reduce the need to transport such materials out of the region in the future. D. The current and proposed waste management practices and conditions are favorable to the development of post - consumer and secondary waste materials markets. E. The cities of Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Mission Viejo, Orange, Placentia, and Stanton intend to submit a joint application to CalRecycle requesting designation as a countywide RMDZ dedicated to establishing, sustaining and expanding recycling -based manufacturing businesses, which is essential for market development and to assist these jurisdictions in meeting the established landfill waste reduction goals. F. As the lead agency for the application, the City of Huntington Beach will conduct the environmental analysis and will submit the application to CalRecycle by October 2015. G. In order for the City to be designated as a RMDZ, the State program requires that cities adopt a resolution approving the designation and participation in the program, which is then included in the application to CalRecycle by the lead agency.
