SAN DIEGO COUNTY CIT' TERMINATTON OF COAST WASTE MANAGEMENT WE BY MTG. 5/6/91 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize Mayor to send letter to Board of Supervisors and direct staff to ini discussion with County. ITEM EXPLANATION On April 9, 1991 the County Board of Supervisors took action to terminate the leas6 Coast Waste Management has with the County for the Coast Waste transfer statior operating yard in Carlsbad. The County's Notice of Termination was initiated without discussion with the Ci Carlsbad, and will profoundly affect the ability of Coast Waste to provide trash k service not only in Carlsbad, but to areas that Coast Waste serves in Enchitas, S Beach, Del Mar, and unincorporated areas of the County. Although the lease wi terminate until April 16, 1992, it may be very difficult for Coast Waste to obtain an operating location if in fact they are required to vacate the Palomar premises. City staff has already initiated discussions with the County as well as Coast Wa explore ways to meet the needs of not only Coast Waste but the City of Carlsbad, ai County of San Diego. The County owns a substantial amount of land in this are; there is enough land available to meet the needs of all the parties involved. The ( Carlsbad has land use authority as well as authority to approve the siting of a transfer station and the County will need to develop a plan that is acceptable to th of Carlsbad. The City Council has previously given approval to the County to do further envirom studies on two possible sites for a possible transfer station in Carlsbad. One of tho5 is the Palomar facility. However, as part of that approval the Council indicated was only interested in considering facility sized to handle Carlsbad trash. The COI proposing a transfer facility that would handle trash from a much larger sewice are just the City of Carlsbad. Although such a program would have significantly ~ impacts on Carlsbad, an acceptable program that would minimize the impacts of facility may be able to be worked out with the County.

This letter is to express our concern with that action and ask tlr Board of Supervisors reconsider it’s action. Coast Waste Management serves Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar as 1 unincorporated areas from the Palomar site. Although Coast Waste Managemen other property in Carlsbad, it presently does not have any road access. The Board seriously endangers our existing arrangements for waste hauling services in Carlsba do not think it is responsible for the Board of Supervisors to have taken that action M having first consulted with the city and Coast Waste. In particular, the availab alternatives to insure that our trash hauling services are not interrupted should hav discussed. Carlsbad has expressed a willingness to allow environmental review of two transfer sites sized for the purpose of serving Carlsbad residents. As a local enforcement 4 with the only presently functioning transfer station, we have a particular interest matter. Not only is the transfer station subject to our conditional use permit procc environmental review but we are also the local enforcement authority with st; authority for issuing solid waste permits. While we are willing to meet with the 1 to talk about the possibility of serving a substantial portion of North County frc facility it must be done on a cooperative basis. The proposed transfer station program would divert substantial portions of the dailj presently going to the San Marcos Landfill to the center of our industrial area immc adjacent to Palomar Airport. Our growth management traffic monitoring system pr indicates that the principal access, that is, the intersection of Palomar Airport Road Camino Real is failing to meet standards. This and other serious problems n overcome before the city would be in a position to approve this facility. - 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive - Carlsbad, California 92008-1989 * (619) 42 % e W * Spending $500,000 for plans and specifications for a facility which, as matters stand 1 is questionable and does not seem to us to be a responsible action. The transfer st: site is vitally necessary for the City of Carlsbad. The county has ample property at location to accommodate a continuation of our uses and provide for the alternative of or expanded transfer station. Additionally other matters need to be discussed, inclr. the environmental review which was not done on your decision to terminate the lea well as required provisions for relocation assistance. We appreciate the board's recognition of the need to adopt plans and programs to met North County's requirements for solid waste disposal services. However, making deci without consultation with the people who will not only be affected by but who authority over and responsibility for those decisions does not seem to us to be wise Carlsbad prefers dealings on a cooperative basis in a climate of mutual respect. Unil; actions which adversely affect our interests are clearly contrary to that. Our City Co at their meeting of May 6, 1991 unanimously voted to send this letter and to ask tha please take the steps necessary to place this matter on the Board's agenda requt reconsideration and a motion to continue the April 9, 1991 action on the Coast Wast pending consultations with Carlsbad and direct the CAO and County Counsel to meel the Carlsbad City Manager and City Attorney to discuss these issues. A time 71 certainly be appreciated. Your prompt attention to this request would be apprecial Sincerely, CLAUDE A.
