Background: Riverside County Waste Management is collecting a portion of the tipping fee for recycling and other programs required by AB 939. To date, over $400 , 000 has been set aside for these programs. The first element of the Solid Waste and Recycling Plan under AB 939 is the Waste Characterization or Waste Generation Study. Therefore, the County has adequate funds to conduct this study. A firm has been selected and agreement signed at a cost within the budget. In order for the City of Palm Desert to participate in this study, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and County is necessary. The MOU states that the County will fund the study with tipping fee dollars for all cities and the unincorporated areas within the County. Any additions or extras to the agreement may have to be shared by all parties. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the MOU to provide consultant services for a Waste Generation Study.
