A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COSTA
MESA SANITARY DISTRICT, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA,
OPPOSING SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT USER FEES AND EX-
PRESSING REASONS IN SUPPORT THEREFOR.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COSTA MESA SANITARY
DISTRICT, ORANGE COUNTY., CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the.Revenue Search Committee, through the
office of the Auditor - Controller for the County of Orange,
has proposed a solid waste management user fee for the use
of new and existing land fill refuse disposal areas; and
WHEREAS, said fee if imposed upon the Costa Mesa
Sanitary District would of necessity be passed on to resi-
dential homeowners within the District as part of the annual
charge authorized by the Assessment District; and
WHEREAS, if said solid waste management user fee
were imposed upon the contract trash hauler for the Costa
Mesa Sanitary District, the same would by contractual terms
be reimbursed by Costa Mesa Sanitary District and passed
on as a part of the charges authorized by the Assessment
District to the residential homeowners within the District;
and
WHEREAS, said solid waste management user fee would
constitute an unreasonable and unfair burden upon residential
homeowners within the District;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Costa Mesa
Sanitary District is opposed to any imposition of the solid
waste management user fee by the County of Orange for the
use of land fill solid waste disposal sites;
-1-
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Costa Mes? Sani-
tary District believes said solid waste ma;-iagement user fee
as proposed by the County of Orange to be inherently unfair
and an unreasonable burden upon the homeowners within the
Costa Mesa Sanitary District;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT inasmuch as the
Sanitation Districts of the County propose to operate the
solid waste land fill disposal sites without cost to the
County, for County -wide benefit and with Sanitation Dis-
trict personnel on Sanitation District payrolls, said solid
waste management user fee should be unnecessary.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT any consideration of
solid waste management user fees at this time is premature
and should not be considered until the feasibility of a
transfer station in the South Coast region has been fully
explored and acted upon by the County Division of Solid
Waste Management as suggested by the Orange County Solid
Waste Management Plan mandated by the Nejedly - Z'derg -Dills
Solid Waste Management and Resources Recovery Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board
of Supervisors direct the General Services Agency for the
County of Orange to continue to explore the feasibility of
a transfer station in the South Coast region prior to any
consideration of any solid waste management user fee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Costa Mesa Sanitary
District urges the County of Orange to upgrade the quality
and condition of its equipment prior to consideration of
the imposition of any solid waste management users fee.
MPAI
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT a copy of this RESOLUTION
be 'forwarded to the office of the Auditor - Controller for the
County of Orange to the attention of the Revenue Research
Committee considering solid waste man
p agement user fees.
