SUMMARY OF SOLID WASTE ORDINANCE

IRONHOUSE SANITARY DISTRICT
Summary Of Solid Waste Ordinance

On Thursday, June 18, 2009, the Ironhouse Sanitary District Board of Directors adopted its Ordinance No. 39 Governing Solid Waste (the “Ordinance”), summarized as follows.

Under the Ordinance, Ironhouse Sanitary District (the “District”) regulates the accumulation, collection and disposal of solid waste, including garbage, refuse and recyclable materials. Owners of property in the District are required (a) to maintain suitable containers for their solid waste, and to use the containers of the collector (hauler) where provided, (b) to subscribe for regular collection service, and (c) to pay for such collection service. A property owner may self-haul solid waste in lieu of subscribing and paying for collection service. If a tenant or other occupant of the property fails to subscribe and pay, the property owner remains responsible for subscription and payment.

The Ordinance also provides for the licensing and responsibilities of the persons who engage in the collection and disposal of solid waste, including franchise agreements and other contracts with such persons and for such persons’ collection, transport and disposal of collectable solid waste. The collector (hauler) is required to make regular collections of collectable solid waste and properly dispose of the solid waste collected. The Ordinance authorizes the hauler to charge interest and late charges on delinquent accounts and the District to set the hauler’s maximum rates, interest rate and late charge. The Ordinance also makes it unlawful for any person to engage in the collection, removal, recycling or disposal of collectable solid waste from other persons without a license or other authority from the District, with certain specified exemptions.

The Ordinance authorizes the District to have accumulations of solid waste removed from a property when the owner has not done so, makes it unlawful for a person to dump, discard or burn garbage and other solid waste on another’s property or to dump it in the sewer, makes it unlawful for someone to take recycled materials put out for collection by a hauler, and makes it unlawful to interfere with a hauler’s collection of solid waste.

The ordinance also authorizes the District to collect delinquent accounts of the hauler if after diligent efforts the hauler has been unable to do so. To collect the District may institute suit, lien the property of the delinquent owner, collect the amounts owing on the tax bill, or add the amount owing to the owner’s sewer service charge, among other means. The amounts owing may include the hauler’s regular charges, interest and penalties, and the District’s administrative costs.

Violations of the ordinance, except a failure to pay a hauler, are misdemeanors punishable by up to 30 days in the county jail or a fine of up to $1000 or both.

The Board also designated the undersigned to prepare and publish this summary in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 6490.

Reference is made to the entire text of the Ordinance for a full statement of its provisions. The Ordinance is available upon request from Ironhouse Sanitary District, 450 Walnut Meadows Drive, Post Office Box 1105, Oakley, California 94561, tel. 925-625-2279, Attn: Susan Walde, Secretary.

Voting in favor of Ordinance: Directors Lenny Byer, Doug Hardcastle, Chris Lauritzen, Don S. Lew, Michael Painter. Voting against the Ordinance: none. Absent from the vote: none.
