I tETING AGENDA DATE L` ITEM # "T TO: Council Colleagues -� i FROM: Dave Romero LfG� SUBJECT: Report of Activity of Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) AB 939 requires that each jurisdiction divert 50% of its waste from landfills by the year 2000. Although it is relatively easy to measure waste deposited at a landfill, it is much more difficult to determine total waste generated by a jurisdiction. Most states use a population based figure to assist in this waste generated calculation. However, the California IWMA Board has developed a complicated formula which considers sales tax, employment and inflation, with population being a rather minor factor in the equation. The IWMA has found that this formula results in a significant under - reporting of waste diversion by approximately 7% in San Luis Obispo County as compared to the more commonly used formula based on population. A survey shows similar under - reporting for jurisdictions throughout the state. If the formula is not changed, by the year 2000 it is quite likely that many, if not most, of the jurisdictions throughout California will be unable to meet the mandated waste diversion goals. This may subject them to fines or other penalties. In 1995 IWMA staff unsuccessfully attempted to convince the state Board to adopt a more flexible formula. The IWMA Board concluded that the political route would be a more proper approach to achieve flexibility with these figures, therefore, at its meeting of January 15s', the IWMA Board adopted a resolution requesting that the California League of California Cities become active in lobbying to change the approach. As a member of the Channel Counties Division (CCD) Board, I will be carrying a resolution through the CCD organization, and Harry Ovitt will be carrying a resolution through the County Supervisors organization.
