REQUESTING MEMBERSHIP IN THE
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 49300 and
preexisting laws, has authority to provide for the collection, transfer and disposal of solid
waste generated within its town limits through issuance of exclusive collection franchises;
and
WHEREAS, Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (hereinafter "CCCSWA") is a joint
powers agency formed pursuant to Government Code Section 6500, et seq. and currently
is comprised of member agencies of the Cities of Walnut Creek and Orinda and Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) and the County of Contra Costa; and
WHEREAS, a joint powers agency, as a separate public entity, may exercise those powers
commonly held by its respective members, to the extent the member agencies provide for
the exercise of such common powers to the joint powers agency; and accordingly, CCCSWA,
through its Joint Powers Agreement, as it is to be amended, will have the authority to
contract for the collection, transfer and disposal of solid waste generated within
jurisdictional boundaries of its member agencies; and
WHEREAS, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (hereinafter "CCCSD"), pursuant to its
enabling act, and as otherwise provided for in Public Resources Code Sections 40000 et seq.,
has historically provided for the collection, transfer and disposal of solid waste generated
within certain portions of its jurisdictional boundaries including those areas within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the Town of Danville; and
WHEREAS, the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's current solid waste franchise
agreement for the Town of Danville expires on February 29, 1996; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville has concluded that franchising of solid waste collection
on a regional basis within the CCCSWA jurisdictional boundaries will serve to consolidate
coordination and planning of such collection, transfer and disposal activities, while
providing an opportunity to maximize the ratepayers' market power while providing for
economies of scale, thus benefitring the public served by CCCSWA, including the citizens of
Danville; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville is willing to delegate its solid waste collection franchise
authority (for refuse, recycling and green waste) to CCCSWA, and has determined that the
Town desires membership in the CCCSWA; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town of Danville requests full membership and representation in
CCCSWA effective concurrent with the termination of the current franchise and the initiation
of service under the new CCCSWA franchises on March 1, 1996; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town of Danville wishes to retain its representation through
the Mutual Defense Group administered by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District in the
matter of the Acme Landfill litigation with funds set aside for that purpose in the rate
structure adopted by the CCCSWA under the new franchise agreement.
