BACKGROUND
Presentations:
1. Carlos Ramirez will provide a presentation on new technology the Company is using to automatically sense when commercial bins are overloaded and to charge customer accounts accordingly.
2. Adam Gooderham will provide a presentation on the Clover Flat Landfill. Following its purchase of the landfill, Waste Connections has determined that it is very challenging to operate the landfill in a way that makes economic sense. They are looking at options that will make more sense financially, while still ensuring that waste collected from the UVA boundaries has a place to go, that our rate payers are not unduly impacted, and that we can remain in compliance with various state laws, including AB 939 (solid waste diversion), AB 1826 (commercial recycling), and SB 1383 (organics removal from landfills).
Presentation materials are attached to this report. While the Board is welcome to ask questions in any area, as a reminder the jurisdiction of the UVA Board lies in regulating rates and ensuring our waste management programs are properly implemented. Regulatory compliance issues and land use are regulated by the LEA/Calrecycle and Napa County PBES.
This is intended as a listening session and to identify questions that will need to be investigated. No Board action is anticipated.
Other Standing Items for this agenda item include:
1. Communications with customers/upcoming events.
2. Other happenings of interest to the Board.
No Board action is anticipated.
