Specific impacts will depend upon which operating scenario and funding strategy is determined by the BOCC. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive and consider the operating scenarios and funding strategies presented by Solid Waste Management, request any additional information necessary to aid discussion, and provide direction to the Manager regarding funding Bradshaw Quarry Road SWCC operations for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Ultimately, a more formalized and sustainable arrangement to the funding of solid waste convenience centers is necessary and appropriate going forward. Alternatives are under active review and will be presented for consideration at a future point in time, possibly within the FY 2010-11 budget process.
