Amendments proposed for the Boat's consideration at this <br /> meeting would: <br /> a) change the effective date from July 1, 2002 to October 1,2002; <br /> b) change the period of validity for the Recyclable Material Penult from one yearto be <br /> coexistent with that of the associated Building Permit; and <br /> c) provide for the establishment of an application fee for Certification as a Commingled <br /> Recyclable Facility. <br /> Due to postponements in obtaining BOCC authorization of new personnel and equipment, and <br /> design and bidding of recycling facilities necessary for ordmance implementation, the effective <br /> date of the ordinance must be amended. As a result of ongoing discussions with staff of the <br /> municipalities that will also be considering adoption of the RRMO to be applicable within their <br /> jurisdictions, it was discovered that there were differing periods of building permit validity, <br /> thereby necessitating the proposed language change that accommodates these varying <br /> periods. Finally, the originally adopted ordinance did not provide a fee for facility certification <br /> applications, Since the original adoption, staff has concluded that a fee should be established <br /> to compensate the County for staff time spent reviewing and evaluating applications. <br /> The revisions to the existing ordinance are highlighted in bold in the attached Exhlbf A. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff has submihad a fee schedule for FY 2002-03 that would establish <br /> a $250 application fee for facility certification applications. Annual revenue for the Solid Waste <br /> enterprise fund from this source Is estimated to be$1,000 $1,500. <br />
