REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Rick De Santiago, Public Works Manager
Date:June 25, 2024
Subject:Agreement with County of Riverside Waste Management Department for Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Recommendation
1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY OF
RIVERSIDE AND CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE FOR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM; and
2. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with County of Riverside Waste Management Department for collection of Household Hazardous Waste in such final form approved by the City Attorney.
Background
In 1995, the City of Lake Elsinore offered a Household Hazardous Waste Collection program for city residents, in partnership with local County Fire Department Hazardous Materials Divisions.
Subsequently, in 2000, the County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health took over the collection program for Riverside County. In May of 2006, staff received a letter from the Director of the County of Riverside Department of Environmental Health advising the City that the County Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection program from the Department of Environmental Health to the Waste Management Department. Through an agreement with Riverside County, the City of Lake Elsinore jointly operates the HHW Collection Program on the first Saturday of every month.
Agreement with County of Riverside Waste Management Department
Discussion
The agreement being considered with this agenda item is an updated agreement with Riverside County for the collection of Household Hazardous Waste. The last agreement was in effect from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2024, and the program continued under the details of this agreement until now. The County has decided for all permanent HHW facilities to hold a ten (10) year contract agreement term because there is very little change to the agreement.
Fiscal Impact
The City will incur costs for connecting the electricity to the fire suppression system within the chemical storage container. All other costs will remain the same.
