The attached memo to the City Council is presented as background information on this topic. As reflected in the attached memo, it is suggested that the City Council appropriate an additional $208,000 to the Solid Waste Division to fund additional programs. These programs will assist -the City in achieving its goals pertaining to continued opposition to the Elsmere Canyon Landfill as well as gaining compliance with AB 939. The differential between the proposed budget and the additional funding suggested is reflected in attachment B. Potential funding for the additional programs can be achieved through the following: 1.

ATTACHMENTS 1. Memo from Mayor Klajic to the.City Council 2. Comparison of proposed and suggested Solid Waste Budget Agenda Item t CITY OF SANTA CLARITA I N T E R O F F I C E M E M O R A N D U M DATE: June 1, 1992 TO: Councilmembers and City Manager FROM: Mayor Jill Klajic SUBJECT: Proposed 1992-93 City Budget The Solid Waste Management budget is proposed to be cut by 12Z, while Parks and Recreation budget, for example is proposed to be increased 13Z. While I am a strong supporter of Parks and Recreation and related activities, priorities must be set. The next several years are of great importance -to our City. The past yearswehave spent a great deal of time, effort, and money in providing much needed Parks and Leisure time activities for our residents. It is now important to insure the protection of our citizens health. We must be ready and willing to guarantee our water will not be tainted and that the City of Santa Clarita will not have a third potential toxic dump on its borders. I would .like to recommend that the City Council direct staff to include as part of the 1992-93 Budget the .following Solid. Waste Management Budget: Solid Waste Management Personnel Salary Health and Welfare Life Insurance Long Term Disability Medicare Workers' Compensation Pers Deferred Compensation Unemployment Taxes Total Personnel Operations and Maintenance * Elsmere Budget Account (Engineers, Attorney, Consultants, Technical Experts, etc.) Printing and Postage (Notices, Hearings, Activities) Adult Education (classes, seminars, assemblies) Speakers Bureau (Special speaking requests) Student Education (class room demonstrations, Earth Kids, etc.) Special Events (Frontier Days, Save the Cyn. Day Earth Day) Clerk Typist Landfill Alternatives (Rail Haul, Recycling, Composting, etc.) Publications and Subscriptions Travel and Training Membership and Dues Education Reimbursement Auto Allowance and Mileage Office Supplies Promotion and Publicity Insurance Reimbursement Equipment Replacement Total Operations i Maintenance Program Total * Flexible depending on need. 137,700 11,300 700 800 1,900 5,600 19,900 1,500 1,300 180,700 150,000 20,000 5,000 500 34,500 35,000 27,356 100,000 1,000 3,500 300 2,500 3,000 1,500 15,000 3,300 200 402,656 583,356 Thank you for your consideration and support. I believe it is essential that we take very pro -active positive steps in positioning ourselves in regard to leadership in Solid Waste Management. We must take immediate opportunities to strengthen the City's position in regard to waste reduction, resource conservation, new program developments and rail -haul implementation. We cannot waiver in .our'committment to help solve Los Angeles County's alleged garbage crisis. The City Council and City Management needs to be 1002 behind our dedicated staff and hard-working volunteer community groups. I do not.think it is my responsibility to find the additional money needed for this department. It is the responsibility of the City Council to direct staff in regard to where our priorities will be, and it is the City Manager's responsibility to successfully direct those priorities. However, for your information I have attached a list of what I would consider as low priorities for the next several years. Possible Alternates to A B or C list• In the proposed budget it has been recommended to increase administration in some cases as high as 35Z (Parks and Recreation), 12Z (Community Development,, etc.) If we are to cut corners and decrease.our spending, I would prefer to reduce administrative, not programs. Perhaps another look at these increases would provide us with the savings we need to provide the programs that are more in line with the needs of our residents. Other suggestions might be programs that could be paid for by the private sector, the Shop Local campaign, Small Business Center, Film Liaison, Birthday Party, Mall -Sheriff Patrol cars, Day Care Center. Coordinator, etc. I am ndt sure if the new telephone system is in or out of this budget, but if it is in, I am very sure we could survive for a couple more years with what we have. Again, these are only. suggestions, I believe the afore mentioned programs or activities are certainly worthwhile and I believe we must do whatever we can "now" to save the Santa Clarita Valley from a dangerous and serious health threat to our citizens. cc: Ren Pulskamp Jeff Kolin Michael Murphy Terri Maus JK/gmd/1602 :577'.:....... ......................................................
