78 ATTACHMENT 1Page 5 RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY APPROVING THE AGREEMENT FOR THE OPERATION OF THE SHOREWAY RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL CENTER WHEREAS, The State of California, through the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, codified at Public Resources Code Section 40000, et seq. (the "Act"), found and declared that the amount of solid waste generated in California, coupled with diminishing landfill space and potential adverse environmental impacts from landfill disposal, has created a need for state and local agencies to enact and implement an aggressive integrated waste management program; and WHEREAS, The Act directs the California Integrated Waste Management Board and local agencies to promote recycling and to maximize the use of feasible source reduction, recycling and composting options in order to reduce the amount of solid waste that must be disposed in landfills; and WHEREAS, The SBWMA is a joint powers agency organized under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act by cities and other local government agencies in San Mateo County (the "Member Agencies"), each of which oversees the collection of solid waste and recyclable materials within its jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, The SBWMA owns and oversees the operation of the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center in San Carlos ("Shoreway Center"). The recycling and material recovery operations conducted at the Shoreway Center are an integral component of each of the Member Agencies' Source Reduction and Recycling Elements, which have in turn been incorporated into San Mateo County's Integrated Waste Management Plan; and WHEREAS, The Member Agencies, acting in coordination with each other and the Authority, are planning to expand the recycling operations within each of their jurisdictions through a variety of measures, including the institution of "single stream" recycling; and WHEREAS, In order to prepare for this anticipated increase in the amount of recyclable materials, and to improve the ability of the Shoreway Center to recover recyclable materials from solid waste delivered to it, the SBWMA is planning a substantial renovation and expansion of the facilities at the Shoreway Center; and WHEREAS, one of the anticipated improvements is the installation of a new system designed specifically for sorting and recovering recyclable materials from single stream collection programs. The new system has been recommended by the Contractor, is to be installed by the manufacturer-vendor within the Materials Recovery Facility at the Shoreway Center, and operated by the Contractor; and A TlYIRESOIRESO.1934 081109
