BACKGROUND The Alameda County Waste Management Authority (ACWMA) operates according to the terms of a 1992 Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) for the management of solid waste and the promotion of recycling throughout Alameda County. According to the JPA, the Authority has the power to enact countywide ordinances and is responsible for preparing planning documents to meet state requirements, implementing countywide diversion programs, and determining landfill disposal needs. The Authority's 17-member board of elected officials includes representatives from each of the fourteen city councils in Alameda County, the County Board of Supervisors and two sanitary district boards. Councilmember Pentin is the City Council's representative on the Authority Board. Resolution to Designate the ACWMA Board as the Local Task Force Under state law, all proposed County Integrated Waste Management Plans (CoIWMP's) amendments must be reviewed by a Local Task Force (LTF). The ACWMA JPA gave the ACWMA Board the authority to make appointments to the LTF on an interim basis, subject to confirmation by the County. The County Charter Amendment that created the Recycling Board (Measure D, approved by the voters in 1991) encouraged the designation of the Recycling Board as the interim LTF, but the designation was never confirmed by the member agencies. The proposed resolution confirms the ACWMA's appointment of the Recycling Board as the LTF. DISCUSSION The proposed resolution is in response to a state mandated Local Task Force. The ACWMA has requested that member agencies make their determinations so that the resolution can be implemented.
