Type of Committee Action: Recommendation 2. Issue referred to Committee: To prepare a Douglas County Solid Waste Program Countywide Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement. 3. Brief statement, of Committee findings: The Committee found that the current interlocal agreement expires as of December 31 st, 2008 and that a new Douglas County Solid Waste Program Countywide Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement is needed in order to continue the Countywide Solid Waste Program, and to conform to the Department of Ecology Solid Waste Management Planning Guidelines. 4. Major facts or reasons to support Committee findings: The Committee found that due to the uncertainty of the proposed GWRLF expansion, possible loss of GWRLF Host Fees, possible need for a Regional Transfer Station and numerous other solid waste issues related to the countywide solid waste program, structure and organization, the current interlocal agreement should be extended through December 31 S% 2009. 5. Possible impacts of the issue on the Regional Planning Area (RPA): The Committee found that without resolution of specific solid waste issues regarding the collection, disposal and management of the solid waste stream -within Douglas County, it is impossible to prepare a new Douglas County Solid Waste Program Countywide Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement at this time. Failure to resolve this fundamental issues may prevent the creation and/or adoption of a new interlocal agreement. 6. Committee would recommend the following action be taken: The Executive TAC would recommend that the Douglas County Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAG) approve a one year extension of the current Douglas County Solid Waste Program Countywide Solid Waste Interlocal Agreement. 7. Other Committee concerns or comments: The Solid Waste Program Office should facilitate a SWAC retreat to discuss and hopefully resolve some of these outstanding issues prior to the next SWAC meeting in May.
