RECOMMENDATION
Appoint the Town Manager to the Board of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Joint Powers Agreement County of Marin (“Zero Waste Marin”).
BACKGROUND
The County of Marin and the Cities of Belvedere, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Novato, San Rafael, and Sausalito, and the Towns of Corte Madera, Fairfax, Ross, San Anselmo, and Tiburon entered into an agreement in 1993 to create a Hazardous and Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to work together on the mandates set forth in AB 939. The agreement was amended in 1995 and restated in 1996. On May 3, 2023 the Town approved administrative changes to the agreement that did not change the Town’s relationship with the JPA.
DISCUSSION
The Zero Waste Marin Board has always been made up of Town/County/City Managers from each member jurisdiction. The recommended action to appoint the Town Manager to the Board is an administrative procedure that may have been inadvertently omitted when the joint powers agency was formed. Completing the recommended action will confirm the appointment and resolve any question as to the status of the Town’s appointment to the Board.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
