SBC FILE NUMBER:105

The County needs IWM expertise to meet its legal requirements as Lead Agency for the Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Regional Agency whose members are Hollister, San Juan Bautista and the County. State mandates also necessitate the County to have IWM technical expertise to meet the 50% diversion mandate (AB 939), organics diversion (AB 1826), household hazardous waste requirements and other requirements. CSG provides IWM management and expertise due to lack of current in-county staff expertise. As directed by the Board, CSG trained in-county staff to take over IWM responsibility, however, due to staff departure CSG had to start over to train new staff to take on IWM responsibility. CSG has completed several successful projects that include managing the new franchise agreement development/RFP process for the Regional Agency members. This project resulted in significant improvements in meeting state mandates, better programs for residents and businesses, and AB 939 and litter abatement revenue for Regional Agency members. CSG expanded the new green business program to helps businesses save money through reducing waste, improved school recycling programs, improved collaboration with Hollister and San Juan Bautista, improved non­ exclusive franchise agreement compliance and continues to increase outreach/education to residents and businesses. CSG continues to train new, promising in-county staff to take over increasing responsibility. CSG scope of work and projects underway include:

• Manage IWM Programs to meet mandates AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, SB 1383

• Meet County's Legal Requirements as Lead Agency for IWM JPA Regional Agency
