Attached is a chart showing conformance with the above criteria as of 10/1/07, to the best of our knowledge. <br />There may be jurisdictions that have adopted ordinances or policies of which we are not yet aware. <br />Specifically, in terms of the City of Pleasanton, following is a more detailed status review of these eligibility <br />criteria: <br />• Residential Food Scraps Collection: <br />• Formal adoption of a 75% diversion goal <br />0 <br />®° <br />• Adoption of C&D Debris Diversion Ordinance applicable to private as well as to civic projects. <br />Ordinance must apply to all projects over a specified threshold (sq. ft. or $$) and must require <br />minimum diversion of 50% of all debris generated. <br />• Adoption of qualifying Civic Green Building Ordinance onditiona <br />In order to qualify, a Civic Green Building Ordinance must require certification of LEEDTM rating by <br />the U. S. Green Building Council (USGBC) or verification of GreenPoint Rated score by Build It <br />Green, for civic or public/private partnership projects above some specified threshold, per the <br />attached model ordinance. Independent third-party verification is a required element of a qualifying <br />ordinance. The City's Green Building Ordinance does not state that the LEED rating for covered <br />City-sponsored projects will be certified through the USGBC. Please submit a letter from the City <br />Manager clarifying that the City will be certifying all City covered projects through the USGBC. All <br />civic projects are eligible to receive free design assistance and grants for LEED-certified projects, <br />which will partially offset the cost of certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. <br />• Adoption of qualifying Civic Bay Friendly Landscaping Ordinance <br />In order to qualify, a Civic Bay Friendly Landscaping Ordinance must apply to all jurisdiction- <br />sponsored projects over a specified threshold and meet or exceed the most recent minimum Bay <br />Friendly Landscape Scorecard points as set by StopWaste.Org. It is recommended that compliance <br />be verified by Bay Friendly Landscaping staff or designee. <br />StopWaste.Org offers technical assistance to municipal staff in developing and adopting qualifying <br />ordinances. We also provide Green Building and Bay-Friendly Landscaping technical assistance and grants <br />to design and construct civic projects. We look forward to assisting Pleasanton staff in preparing and <br />presenting the required ordinances or policies. <br />Please don't hesitate to contact me or Tom Padia, Recycling Director, at (510) 891-6500 with any questions, <br />concerns, or requests for assistance in meeting the Import Mitigation Funding eligibility criteria. We look <br />forward to working with you and your jurisdiction in moving our County forward toward 75% diversion and <br />sustainable resource use. <br />Sincerely, <br />Karen Smith <br />Executive Director <br />cc: TAC representative <br />WMA Board member <br />Attachments: Criteria Conformance Chart <br />Chart of Recent Member Agency Allocations <br />Model 75% Diversion Goal Resolution <br />Model Construction & Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance <br />Model Civic Bay Friendly Landscaping Ordinance <br />
