TOWN OF DANVILLE
WHEREAS, AB 939 allows local government to set the amount of revenue to be collected to
finance solid waste planning and implementation;
WHEREAS, as part of the cost mitigation for city staffs in Contra Costa County to respond
to the requirements of state-mandated AB 939, the Town Council approved Resolution No.
118-91, requesting Contra Costa County to collect and reimburse to the Town a fee of 80¢ per
ton of solid waste as a portion of the "tipping fee"; and
WHEREAS, there currently exists a situation whereby some cities in Contra Costa County
are receiving AB 939 tipping fee revenues despite not utilizing the Keller Canyon Landfill as
anticipated; and
WHEREAS, the Public Managers' Association (PMA) Solid Waste Subcommittee has
recommended that cities in East and Central County discontinue levying the 80¢ per ton
tipping fee through Contra Costa County in order to rectify the incongruence between cities
utilizing Keller Canyon and cities receiving tipping fee revenue; and
WHEREAS, the PMA Solid Waste Subcommittee further recommended that the cities
incorporate the equivalent tipping fee revenue into their solid waste franchise fees; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville concurs with the recommendation of the PMA Solid
Waste Subcommittee; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville hereby requests Contra Costa
County to discontinue collection of the 80¢ per ton surcharge at the landfill/transfer station
