13 . <br /> ORDINANCE NO. <br /> AN ORDINANCE continuing the Solid Waste Management Utility, and modifying <br /> rates and charges therefore, and repealing Ordinance No. 2410-99. <br /> WHEREAS, for over seventeen years, the Mayor, City Council, and staff of the City of <br /> Everett have been intensively involved in solid waste management issues, particularly City <br /> Council has authorized and implemented a waste reduction and recycling program, and <br /> developed and updated a City of Everett Solid Waste Management Comprehensive Plan; and <br /> WHEREAS, as an integral part of management of solid waste, the City Council finds that <br /> waste reduction and recycling should be encouraged, emphasized, upgraded, and, if necessary, <br /> subsidized in the City of Everett, and that some expenditure of public funds will be required to <br /> establish and promote a successful waste reduction and recycling program; and <br /> WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Everett finds that private haulers now <br /> provide satisfactory and cost effective solid waste collection services for the single-family <br /> residents, multi-family residents, businesses and industries of the City of Everett, but that there is <br /> a need to provide publicly-supported coordination and administration of solid waste <br /> management, including waste reduction and recycling programs in the City; and <br /> WHEREAS, Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RIFS) work at the City of <br /> Everett landfill/tirefire site has identified potential adverse environmental impacts at the City's <br /> old landfill site. The City Council finds that mitigating these environmental impacts is an <br /> appropriate function of the Solid Waste Management Utility. Once environmental impacts are <br /> mitigated, the landfill site may become available for other possible uses in the future; and <br /> WHEREAS, the corrective actions may require the construction of a landfill gas <br /> collection system, or an improved cover for the landfill area, a surface water management system <br /> and a possible wetland mitigation; and <br /> WHEREAS, the City will experience costs for maintaining and operating existing <br /> environmental controls at the landfill, which include the leachate collection system and the <br /> related surface water control, landfill cover, gas migration control and environmental monitoring <br /> requirements. <br /> 117 <br /> S:\#Common\clericaMgnord\2410-99R.doc <br />
