STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In 1990, the Governor and: Legislature adopted SB 2310, authored by Senator
Marian Bergeson, which established the California Market Development Zone
program. The purpose of the act was to stimulate the recycling of postconsumer
waste materials generated in the State. By approving a resolution, businesses in
our City that recycle postconsumer waste materials into usable products will be
eligible for equipment state tax credit, state technical assistance, low interest loans
and other locally controlled assistance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt City Council Resolution No."o a Resolution of the City of Huntington m
Beach Approving the Inclusion of the City into a Countywide Recycling Marklgt J=
Development Zone Program.,
ANALYSIS:
The Act authorizes cities and counties to apply to become Recycling Market
Development Zones (RMDZs). When an area is designated an RMDZ, businesses
locating there which process recyclables or utilize post consumer waste in
�I
production processes may receive a recycling equipment tax credit, specialized
technical assistance and information sharing services from the California Integrated
Waste Management Board (CIWMB), low interest loans, and other, locally -
controlled assistance. The County of Orange is currently applying to the CIWMB for
declaration as a RMDZ. While elsewhere in the State, only portions of some cities
and counties are declared RMDZs, the County is seeking to have the whole county
declared a RMDZ.
The designation will have no effect on City operations, and will solely allow any
firms opening targeted businesses the ability to obtain the benefits discussed
above.
The County Integrated Waste Management Department (IWMD) is seeking passage
of the attached resolution from each city in the County, so they may include it in the
application packet to the State.
FUNDING SOURCE:
There are no funds needed for the Recycling Market Development Zone. Funds to
prepare and send the resolution are budgeted in .1993-94 Economic Development
budget.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Do not adopt a resolution in support of RMDZ.
ATTACHMENTS:
Resolution approving City of Huntington Beach Inclusion into the Countywide
Recycling Market Development Zone Program.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH APPROVING THE
INCLUSION OF THE CITY INTO A COUNTYWIDE
RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, on April 6, 1992, the City Council of Huntington Beach approved the
Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) for the city; and
The SRRE called for economic development opportunities in the city as a measure
necessary to improve local and regional markets for recovered materials; and
Implementation of the SRRE will result in the dramatic increase in the quantity and
types of material recovered from diversion programs instituted in conjunction with the California
Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939); and
The county and cities of Orange are proposing to act as joint lead agencies in a
countywide Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ); and
The RMDZ boundaries would encompass all unincorporated and incorporated areas of
Orange County; and
The creation of the countywide RMDZ would enhance the employment and economic
development goals of the lead agencies; and
Current and planned city waste management practices, programs and conditions are
favorable to the development of post consumer waste materials; and
Designation of the proposed zone as a RMDZ is necessary to assist in attracting and
developing recycling businesses within the County,
