The Downtown Association also voted to support the economic study proposed by the developer of the Market Place. The thinking of the Downtown Association is that this would provide extremely useful information to the benefit of the downtown. The Downtown Association was very concerned with the city's lack of action in keeping clean trash cans, sidewalks and gum alley. If they cannot arrive at a satisfactory solution with staff they will be bringing this matter to the City Council. The Downtown Association has concluded that the best way to provide proper notice for no parking for Thursday night Farmer's Market would be the use of a flyer attached by rubber bands to the parking meters. They have re-initiated this program. They have asked staff to investigate if there is a means by which the towing costs could be reduced.

You will recall that under provisions of AB 939, each jurisdiction is required to meet a 50%diversion rate by the year 2000. Although the cities and county are gradually approaching that goal, we are somewhat behind. Staff has determined that due to the small amount of green waste product during the drought, the basic analysis regarding green waste was flawed when the first criteria were adopted in 1990. The original studies showed 11.3%of the waste stream was yard waste, whereas the more recent studies conducted in San Luis Obispo show 26%is yard waste. IWMA has asked for state board adjustment of the base figures which would bring all local jurisdictions closer to the 50%criteria. The Cold Canyon Landfill has recently received funding for a major expansion of the MRF (Material Recovery Facility)which would allow much more cost effective recycling of construction debris,thus assisting local jurisdictions in meeting the 50%requirements of AB 939.
