Re: Support for Regionalization
To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this letter of interest and support on behalf of the City of Fortuna for Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA) to act in a regional capacity for the purpose of organics processing.
The City municipal code provides flow control of organic materials which the City can designate to go to HWMA. The City will consider an MOU with HWMA or potentially joining the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to assign flow control of organic materials from the City of Fortuna along with other member agencies so that the Humboldt County region can efficiently move forward with organics processing and recycling.
Working together on these efforts will be the most cost effective and streamlined strategy for achieving SB 1383 compliance and avoiding fines regionally.
Thank you,
Merritt Perry, City Manager
