Solid Waste Task Force Procedure Recommendations for the newly formed regional Integrated Waste Management Authority CAO RECOMMENDATION: Review and comment on recommended procedures and proposed FY 94/95 budget. BACKGROUND The Solid Waste Task Force is responsible for the development of the Joint Powers Agreement which creates the regional Integrated Waste Management Authority. In order to expedite and simplify the start up process for the new Authority, the Task Force (TF) has generated a series of recommendations and a proposed budget for the Authority to consider at their first meeting. The recommendations include an organizational structure, rules of procedure, alternatives for interim management (before the manager is hired), alternatives for hiring a manager, and a proposed budget for the first fiscal year. The Joint Powers Agreement, approved in full by Council at the June 7, 1994 meeting, states that Authority budgets will be circulated to member jurisdictions for review and continent prior to Authority adoption. This report provides a brief description of each issue for Council review and comment. A copy of the recommendation packet is attached along with a cover letter from Susan Mullen, Chairwoman of the Solid Waste Task Force. The date for the first Authority meeting has been set for Wednesday, July 13, 1994. DISCUSSION The recommended oreanizational structure for the new Authority includes an executive committee and a technical advisory committee. The TF suggests placing the manager under the control of the entire board rather than under the executive committee. Staff agrees with this structure since it enhances communications and expands control to all members. The proposed Rules of Procedure establish basic meeting rules and describe the makeup of the Executive Committee and the TAC. Important points include recommendations for the use of Robert's Rules of Order and for placing the chair of the TAC on the executive committee as a means of ensuring clear and thorough communications between the advisory body and the Authority. Interim management will be needed for the Authority before the manager is hired. The City Of San LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Regional Waste Management Procedure Recommendations Page 2 alternatives discussed include contracting with either SLOCOG staff, Public Services Skills, Inc. (League of California Cities sponsored organization), a private firm or individual, or a member jurisdiction. The Task Force has provided a discussion of alternatives with no specific recommendation. The tasks involved during the interim period will be to coordinate Authority board meetings,work closely with member jurisdiction staff to begin those AB 939 regional tasks that need immediate attention and to oversee the hiring of the Authority manager. Staff recommends working with Public Services Skills, Inc. to determine the availability and cost of hiring a professional administrator from their pool of executives. This approach could provide objectivity and engender trust during the start-up phase and the recruiting process. Also, PSS can avoid the need for providing benefits since jurisdictions negotiate with the retired executives for salary only (travel and housing if necessary). A PSS flier is included in the recommendation packet. Recruiting a. manager will be a principal task during the interim period. Alternatives discussed by the TF include contracting with a private firm (head hunter) or a member jurisdiction personnel department, and using "interim management" staff to coordinate recruitment in-house. City of SLO personnel department has experience assisting in regional recruiting efforts and has indicated their willingness to coordinate the recruiting process for the Authority manager. Please disregard the statement on page c-1-18 under "Member Jurisdiction Personnel Department" that indicates that the City was contacted and is not set up to provide this service. Staff recommends the use of the City personnel department. By using our staffs experience and abilities, the Authority could be assured of reaching and attracting talented applicants and of getting the job done as soon as possible. To reach our AB 939 diversion goals during 1995, we must have an orderly interim process and get a manager on line as soon as possible. To reach this goal, staff recommends a two pronged approach using a qualified retired executive to coordinate the interim period with the City personnel department providing manager recruitment services. The proposed budget is included in the packet and addresses administrative and program areas. Funding for Authority activities will come from the $3 per ton tipping fee which has been collected at landfills to fund the regional planning process. The Memorandum of Agreement approved at the June 7, 1994 Council meeting provides for accumulated amounts to be transferred from COG to the Authority trust fund, for the continuation of the $3 surcharge, and for these funds to be used for implementation under the Authority. The proposed budget dedicates funds for an audit, Authority administration, public education and information programs, household hazardous waste programs and the Siting ���� ��A►IVlllll���i�mu�►������ city of San WIS OBISpo =01sZo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Regional Waste Managment Procedure Recommendations Page 3 Element. The recommended audit would provide an accounting of the past 3 years of regional planning activities. Staff sees a need to be able to focus on specific areas for accounting review. These focus areas would be called out in the work scope. To be able to do this, the development of the workscope and the interviewing and hiring of the accounting firm should be done by an independent body. Staff recommends that the Authority either work with a member jurisdiction staff to provide this service, the JPA subcommittee, a subcommittee of the newly formed TAC or the new Authority executive committee. The proposed budget is based on receipt of tipping fee surcharges from all eight jurisdictions in the county. Should the Authority involve fewer than 8 member jurisdictions, changes to this budget would be brought back to Council for review and comment prior to adoption. The packet provided by the Task Force includes a "bottom line" account of the current solid waste trust fund balance. CONCURRENCES Personnel and Finance staff have contributed to this report. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. It is projected that sufficient funds will be available from the existing fund balance and continued collection of the $3 per ton tipping fee to implement the proposed start-up budget. The budget will be revised to meet the needs of six member jurisdictions rather than the anticipated eight since, at the time of writing this report, Paso Robles and Atascadero have not signed the JPA. More accurate projections of program costs will be available as the Authority takes shape and as implementation plans are generated for each program within the Source Reduction and Recycling Element and the Household Hazardous Waste Element.

You have already received the proposed budget for review and comment. There has been significant controversy over the formation of this new regional body. I think it is important to keep the lines of communication open and keep each Council informed on our formation activities. I hope you may consider placing this information on your agenda for review and comment so that your representative can carry these comments to our first meeting on July 13 , 1994. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My home number is 772-9193.

AORG.UL C-1-1 ��v SAN LUIS Of 3130 COUNCIL OF Gf 'ERNMENTS 1150 Osos Street Suite 202, San Luis Obispo Ca. 93401 (805) 781-4662 SOLID WASTE TASK FORCE DATE; JULY 13, 1994 TO: INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (lWMA) FROM: SWTF SUBJ: REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PWMA In anticipation of the formation of the Integrated Waste Management Authority (WMA)the SLOCOG Board authorized the Solid Waste Task Force to prepare recommendations on the basic polices and procedures to be considered by the IWMA in order to facilitate their beginning operations. A subcommittee of the SWTF has tried to outline a variety of possible options for each of several main areas of concern. The Subcommittee did not feel that recommendations were necessary or desirable. The options are provided to stimulate discussion amongst the members of the new Authority. It is our hope that the Authority will be provided enough information through this report to easily and quickly begin making decisions to create and operate the Authority in an effective and cost efficient manner. The options for interim management, manager recruitment, salary, and compensation are outlined for review by the IWMA Board when they convene. The proposed budget is required by the JPA to be circulated to member jurisdictions prior to adoption. Staff has circulated the proposed budget to member jurisdictions for review and comment. Responses received before circulation of the IWMA agenda will be included with the report. DISCUSSION: See attached reports A through G. AORG JUL C-1-2 7-6 A INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (IWMA) PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL CHART TIPPING FEE FLOW CHART SUMMARY: The attached charts show the following: Organizational Chart - Basic structure of the IWMA organization Tipping Fee Flow Chart - Relationship of WMA to the governing boards that establish tipping fee surcharges DISCUSSION: The attached charts are to help delineate the relationships that are proposed to exist between the IWMA Board and their committees and staff, and the relationship of the IWMA to the jurisdictions that will be setting tipping fee surcharges funding the majority of programs sponsored by the IWMA. The Solid Waste Task Force realizes that there will be many issues and tasks that the Authority will need to deal with in its first months of operation. With our knowledge of the issues and processes, we would like to recommend to the Authority that the following are priority areas which need to be funded first: • Creation and implementation of new organization; • Implementation of household hazardous waste programs and facilities; • Creation and implementation of education programs; • Creation and implementation of yard waste/composting programs; • Creation and implementation of market development programs; • Regional Siting Element and the Integrated Waste Management Plan; • Prioritization of remaining regional programs supported in each SRRE.

The document is comprised of the following four sections: Article 1 General Provisions - Cites the name of the Board, authority for and purpose of the rules. Article 2 Organization of the Board - describing the composition, officers, election and duties of officers, committees and the manager and his/her duties. Article 3 Meetings of the Board - discusses the applicability of the Brown Act, meeting schedule, cancellation, notice, quorum and voting, and the duties of the manager. Article 4 Conduct of Meetings - indicates the order of business, parliamentary rules, and voting. DISCUSSION: See attached proposed Rules of Procedure. The Rules of Procedure were derived from rules that exist for the Alameda County Waste Management Authority. Modifications to those rules were made by the Subcommittee in several areas. Areas of discussion regarding the rules included: Executive Committee makeup and responsibilities: Technical Advisory Committee (SWTAC) makeup and voting; Required Meetings; Parliamentary Rules EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Subcommittee did not want to establish a strong Executive Committee that would direct policy. The Executive Committee is directly charged with "...coordination of agenda items and administrative oversight..:'. The structure of the Executive Committee as proposed in the draft rules would include the President, Vice President, and a member jurisdiction staff member serving as Chairperson of the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Committee (SWTAC). AORGJIJL C-1-4 7-/D A discussion of the Exer *-te Committee makeup centered F--•and the following: 1. Could/Shoulc, is subcommittee, with two elect, officials who serve as "equals" in the establishment of public policy, include a staff member from a member jurisdiction? 2. Should the Past President sit on this subcommittee to assist in the continuity from one year to the next? 3. How do we increase/improve communications with the Technical Advisory Committee? 4. How much power should this committee have? The Subcommittee felt that this should be a "weak" committee with limited powers and duties. It was felt that we did not want this Executive Committee making decisions for the Authority, which can sometimes happen when such a committee is given stronger decision making authority. The subcommittee concluded that the need to improve communication was the highest priority and therefor a member of the Technical Advisory Committee should sit on this committee. If the issue of the voting rights of this Technical Advisory Committee member is an issue, they could be made a non-voting member on this committee. Lastly we concluded that the Past President did not need to be on this committee, however if continuity is needed, they could be invited to the first several meetings if desired by the new committee. It was felt we needed a minimal number of members on this committee, whose primary purpose was to set agendas and insure communication throughout the Authority on all issues. SOLID WASTE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Technical Advisory Committee (SWTAC) is proposed to include one voting member from each member jurisdiction and 11 non-voting members from various interest groups that have been involved in the SWTF and SWTAC. This division is proposed to differentiate between those members of the SWTAC that have direct responsibility for member jurisdictions required to comply with the Integrated Waste Management Act, and those members of the various interest groups that have been asked to provide their input and counsel to this process. REQUIRED MEETINGS The Rules propose that the MWMA have four regular meetings each year with other meetings to be scheduled as needed. This structure anticipates that the IWMA will not require monthly meetings; that additional meetings may be scheduled and held as necessary; and avoids the need to cancel meetings if there were "regularly scheduled" monthly meetings required by rule. noaaruL C-1-5 7a1 PARLIAMENTARY RULE' There are many differen,. _jles to conduct meetings. The su jmmittee discussed the ones presented in the Alameda Rules, Robert's Rules of Order - Latest Edition, and the rules used by the County, SLOCOG and SLORTA. After reviewing these choices, the subcommittee felt the briefest and simplest choice was the use of Robert's Rules - Latest Edition. The Authority may want to become familiar with all the choices before making their decision. The following language, recommended by staff and the County Counsel's Office, is from the parliamentary rules currently used by the Board of Supervisors, and the two regional boards SLOCOG and SLORTA. Parliamentary Rules The following procedures are to be used for the governance of this Board in all cases not otherwise provided in these rules. (a) A Board order applies mainly as a directive to Officers of the Board and its staff members. It need not be reviewed in writing, as it generally applies to one specific act only. Board resolutions shall be reviewed in written form before binding action is taken on them. (b) In the event of the absence of both the President and Vice-President of the Board, the members present shall select one of their number to act as president pro tem. (c) No question or motion shall be debated or put unless the same is seconded. When a motion is seconded, it shall be stated by the President before debate. The motion will be stated by the Clerk before voting. (d) A motion shall be made by having the member of the Integrated Waste Management Authority making the motion state the motion to the Authority's clerk. (e) A motion to refer or lay on the table, until it is decided, shall include all amendments to the main question. (f) A motion having been stated by the President, shall be deemed to be in the possession of the Board, but it shall be withdrawn at any time before the decision or amendment with the assent of the Second. (g) When a question is under debate no motion shall be received unless it is: (1) To adjourn. (2) To lay on the table. (3) To take up the previous question. AOROJUL C-1-6 (4) To pc gone to a certain date. (5) To commit to committee. (6) To amend. (7) To postpone indefinitely. These motions shall have preference in the above order. (h) A motion to adjourn, or a motion to fix time of adjournment shall be decided without debate. (i) A motion on the previous question shall preclude all amendment from debate of the main question, and shall be put in the form "shall the main question be put now?". 0) A member called to order shall relinquish the floor unless permitted to explain, and the Board, if appealed to, shall decide on the case, but without debate. If there is no appeal, the decision of the President shall be final.

AORGJUL C-1-12. 74 C. IWMA INTERIM MANAGEMENT SUMMARY: The recruitment and hiring process for the IWMA manager will likely take from 4 to 6 months. The management of the iWMA affairs during that period requires staffing. The following discussion outlines several options for this function. DISCUSSION: There is the need to provide for the interim management of the IVVMA until the manager is hired (estimated to take about 5 months). Several issues are a part of determining the selection of the interim management including: cost availability solid waste experience knowledge of local systems objectivity required selection process program continuity administrative experience benefits required The attached matrix is for the purpose of facilitating a comparison of the various issues as they relate to the alternative approaches described below. The row identifying objectivity is assumed to be the same for all parties. The level of costs associated with each option are dependent upon the level of service desired by the IWMA. The following options for interim management of the IWMA have been identified: * SLOCOG Currently manages SWTF and has familiarity with the solid waste issues, regional organization. * RETIRED MANAGERS GROUP (Public Services Skills, Inc) Hire retired manager for transition period. Personnel are generally available. PPS will provide several candidates for Board selection. Candidates usually have administrative background. Option likely requires gear up and transition time. * PRIVATE FIRM/INDIVIDUAL Contract with a firm or individual to manage the IWMA during the recruitment process. Private firms are generally available. Option likely requires gear up and transition time. The member cities and County could be contacted by the IWMA to determine if interest in adding staff to contract these services would be desired by the various entities. * CITY OR COUNTY MEMBER No City or County has been asked, so we don't know if a City or the County is interested in performing interim management for the Authority. We list it here as an option that the Authority may wish to investigate. noacruL C-1-13 � 0 Q) mod con _ Q -'._ - - .•�y:•�. ..t„�ircT:::ti - - .. - - .

INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (IWMA) MANAGER RECRUITMENT OPTIONS AND AUTHORITY MANAGER SALARY AND COMPENSATION SUMMARY: The options for recruitment of the IWMA Manager are outlined for the IWMA Governing Board. The primary options available are to utilize an executive recruitment firm, SLO County Personnel, or to conduct the process "in-house". The subcommittee requested staff to investigate salary and benefits from a variety of locations and positions and the conclusion of the subcommittee was to use $50,000 to $60,000 as a starting point for discussion. During JPA discussions, potential Authority Members made it clear that they preferred contracting for services for the Authority. A discussion on benefits and contracting term is therefore contained in this report. The subcommittee spent Tittle time discussing the Manager as an employee, but this is an option that is also briefly discussed. Comparable positions applicable to this region pay approximately$50,000 to$60,000 per year. The benefits package is undetermined at this time. The position could be filled on a contract basis or as 'full time permanent". However, a Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual and an Employee Compensation and Benefits Plan have not been prepared for permanent employees. DISCUSSION: The Authority members need to be aware of the general steps in recruiting personnel in order to select the recruitment process. The recruitment process involves a series of basic steps to narrow the available candidates for interview by the Governing Board. The following outlines the major steps in the process: Advertizing the position: A. Select a geographic recruitment area (state or national); and, B. Determine the recruitment mediums (newspapers,trade journals,Job Finder etc.) to notify potential applicants of the job opportunity. C. Determine the length and extent of advertizing and closing date. Screening of applications: A. review of applications to determine those meeting minimum qualifications; B. secondary review of applications to determine those with superior qualifications and select those that will be invited for interview. C. Policy decision: AORG2.JUL C-1-17 7-Z3 1 . Staff Committee or Board S,ocommittee to conduct secondary screening? 2. Staff Committee or Board Subcommittee to establish criteria for secondary screening and initial interview? Interview of selected applicants: An interview panel(s) (Board, Board Subcommittee, or staff committee) is formed to conduct oral and/or role play review and rank applicants. Board Interviews: The Governing Board (or Board Subcommittee) interviews top ranked candidates. Determines preferred candidate, (presents choice to full board for ratification if Subcommittee selection) and negotiates terms of employment. There are numerous variations and levels of detail that can be employed in the above described procedures. The following three major options for conducting the recruitment procedure are listed with major factors under each option noted. Private Recruitment Firm - "Head Hunter Service" * may be least time consuming for Board and staff * may be more objective for local candidates * may be most expeditious option * appears to be the most expensive option * estimated $12,000 - $15,000 cost Member Jurisdiction Personnel Department- SLO County Personnel provided services * contact with City of SLO Personnel (largest city personnel dept.) indicated they are not set up to do this for other agencies. * SLO Co. Personnel has done this type of "outside recruiting" and charges $25.00/hr plus costs ($5,000 - $8,000 estimate depending upon extent and type of advertizing). Staff or panel must identify recruitment mediums, extent of advertizing and time deadlines. Co Personnel will then send notices. * SLO Co. Personnel has established procedures and extensive experience in these matters. * SLO Co. Personnel would provide first level of review - screening candidates for minimum qualifications, can also "manage" 2nd level of review - coordination of screening panel to narrow applicants down to interview list for governing board. * Requires IWMA (or delegate to staff) to establish screening panel and criteria for second level screening, questions to be asked, and interviews. AORG2.JUL C-1-18 7-�y Integrated Waste Man ment Authority - "Do-it-yourself' * may be most time consuming for Board and staff (manage advertizing, respond to inquiries, screen applications, establish and coordinate interview process) * staff time required for advertizing and processing applications * same procedures as listed under SLO Co. Personnel for 2nd level of review * would use similar procedures as hiring of SLORTA Manager using a combined review of candidates by committee from member jurisdictions * costs similar to SLO County Personnel AUTHORITY MANAGER SALARY AND COMPENSATION The salary level is recommended by the SWTF Subcommittee to be in the $50,000 to $60,000 range based upon similar positions in other organizations. Examination of salary levels for other directors of regional waste management agencies, the Calif. Integrated Waste Management Board administrative staff and other agency division heads were examined by the Subcommittee to reach this recommended salary range. Some examples of the positions and salaries within the industry: Other JPA directors Alameda County Waste Management Authority Exec. Dir.* @ $120,000 Contra Costa County Waste Management Authority Exec. Dir.* 9 $110,000 Ventura County JPA Exec. Dir.* 9 $100,000 * the above listed agencies are much larger organizations serving larger populations and were not considered comparable to the proposed agency manager. * the following positions are more "in line" with the position being considered. Kings County Waste Management Authority Exec. Dir. @ $ 60,000 ClWMB Senior Waste Management Specialist $47,000 - $56,000 CIWMB Supervising Solid Waste Specialist $54,000 - $65,000 Two major options exist for the structure of the initial hiring: 1. The position could be filled under a contract for a specked period. If the contract format is utilized, a "cash-in-lieu" arrangement negotiated at the time of hiring the selected candidate, could be used in place of medical insurance and retirement until such time as these items are developed as part of a benefit package for agency employees. The term of the contract normally needs to be"long enough to offer a degree of security to candidates interested in the position. The recent hiring of the SLORTA Manager was structured with a 3 year contract that included a 6 month "probationary period". The individual also received a moving expense allowance of up to $1,000.

INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (IWMA) PROPOSED 1994/95 BUDGET DISCUSSION: The attached budget shows anticipated expenditures for the Integrated Waste Management Authority for their first year of operation. The Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) specifies that the budget will be circulated to member agencies for their review and comment prior to adoption. The proposed budget is shown in two parts: • an Administrative Budget; and, * a Program Budget ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET The Administrative Budget includes the salaries, supplies, recruitment costs for the new manager and the other overhead expenses for the IWMA. PROGRAM BUDGET The Program Budget is derived from the Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs), the Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) and state mandated planning requirements for preparing a Siting Element. The Public Education and Information Programs and the Household Hazardous Waste Programs can be adjusted mid-year to conform with the rate of tipping fee surcharges generated. The Siting Element is to be put out under a Request for Proposals after the IWMA is formed. SOLID WASTE TRUST FUND The Solid Waste Trust Fund currently has about $800,000 in the account. The City of EI Paso de Robles is holding approximately $200,000 of the funds collected at the Paso Robles Landfill. If all monies collected at the three landfills were deposited into the Trust Fund, the total monies available would be about $1,000,000. The annual rate of generation of these funds is anticipated to be about $550,000 to $600,000 if the surcharge is maintained at $3.00. The Memorandum of Agreement circulated with the JPA calls for the existing balance in the Solid Waste Trust Fund to be shifted over to the IWMA.

TASKS REMAINING The Regional or Countywide Siting Element, due 18 months from final Regulation approval by the State's Office of Administrative Law (OAL), is required component of the AB 939 Integrated Plan. The CIWMB has released the final siting element regulations and the CAL review is almost complete. Based upon arrangements that have been made between the CIWMB and Fresno County(where extensive landfill capacity exists that would serve their county needs far in excess of the 15 year minimum), the CIWMB staff has indicated that an approach that does not involve the analysis of alternative sites would be allowed. The CIWMB staff has indicated that such an approach would be acceptable for the Siting Element for the San Luis Obispo area if we are capable of showing countywide capacity in excess of the required minimum of 15 years. A draft Request for Proposals (RFP) has been prepared for the Siting Element and will be brought to the IWMA at an upcoming meeting. The Regional or Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan is due 18 months after final Regulation approval by the Office of Administrative Law. These regulations are also nearing final approval. The proposed Integrated Waste Management Plan Regulations require the preparation of a Summary Plan that shall: (1) include integrated solid waste management goals and objectives; (2) summarize significant waste management issues and problems; (3) summarize proposed waste management programs or facilities identified as necessary in the Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SRREs)and Household Hazardous Waste Elements (HHWEs) and Nondisposal Facility Elements (NDFE); (4) be consistent with the state heirarchy of solid waste management (source reduction, reuse,.recycling,composting,and environmentally safe transformation and land disposal); (5) include the following issues as described in the regulation sections 18757 through 18758.1 18757.1 Goals and Objectives 18757.3 County and/or Region Profile and Plan Administration 18757.5 Description of Current Solid Waste Management Practices 18757.7 Summary and Integration of SRREs, HHWEs, and NDFEs 18758 Education and Public Information 18758.1 Countywide or regional Agency Integrated Waste Management Plan Financing The Countywide or Regional Agency Integrated Waste Management Plan (CIWMP or RAIWMP) is proposed to include *The Summary Plan; and as appendices, the *Approved and adopted SRREs for incorporated and unincorporated areas; *Approved and adopted HHWEs for incorporated and unincorporated areas; *Approved and adopted NDFEs for incorporated and unincorporated areas; *Approved and adopted Siting Element The implementation of the following major tasks are identified in the SRREs and are recommended as major issues for the IWMA: Public Information and Education Household Hazardous Waste Programs Composting Programs Collection System Study AORWJUL C-1-25 741
