RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AS THE
LOCAL ENFORCEMENT AGENCY FOR SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution designating the Los Angeles County Department of Public
Health as the City's Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for solid waste management.
BACKGROUND
In 1989, the California Integrated Solid Waste Management Act was created by the State
legislature. This act requires that all local governing bodies, including cities, designate a Local
Enforcement Agency (LEA) for solid waste issues. At that time, the City designated Los Angeles
County Department of Health Services (DHS) as our LEA.
On April 7, 1992, the Board of Supervisors for the County of Los Angeles designated the
Department of Health Services (DHS) as the LEA for solid waste management in the
unincorporated areas of the County, and the majority of the incorporated jurisdictions of the
County, including the City of Santa Clarita. The cities of Los Angeles, Vernon, and West Covina
each created their own LEA by establishing a hearing panel for solid waste permits and appeal
purposes.
In July 2006, the DHS reorganized and formed the Department of Public Health (DPH). With the
reorganization, the responsibilities of the DHS were transferred to the DPH, making it necessary
for the City to designate the DPH as the City's Local Enforcement Agency.
This item is before the City Council because the name of Los Angeles County's Local
Enforcement Agency has changed from the DHS to the DHP, and they have requested that our
records be updated to reflect this change.
