Dear Mayor Snyder:
The Alameda County Solid Waste Management Authority is evaluating an
amendment to the County Solid Waste Management Plan to permit the disposal of
municipal waste from San Francisco in the Altamont Landfill Facility.
The complexity of the issues involved in this proposal required the
assistance of the chief administrative officer of each member agency of the
Authority to evaluate alternatives for action. Their response is graciously
provided and appreciated by the Authority.
The Authority recognizes the value of this assistance to address other
issues which will arise in the future with this and other proposals. The
Authority feels that the managers and administrators should be constituted
into a Technical Advisory Committee to the Authority to consolidate their
collective abilities to focus on public administration and fiscal issues which
will arise.
The Authority wishes to formalize this Technical Advisory Committee and is
asking that you and your Council endorse the creation of the Technical
Advisory Committee and authorize your City Manager to participate on it. The
efforts of this committee will be valuable to the local jurisdictions as well
as the Authority and improve the efficiency and coordination of solid waste
planning matters in the County.
The Authority will appreciate your early consideration and authorization
for your City Manager to participate.
Please contact me at (415) 526-5680, your representative on the Authority,
or Bill Fraley at (415) 881-6401 if you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Very truly yours,
Ruth Ganong C
WHF/RG/jpb President
