BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Schedule a public hearing to consider an ordinance to amend Chapter 13, Solid Waste and Recycling
ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Blair, Henry
PRESENTER (S): John Blair
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The Board has directed the County Attorney’s Office to conduct a comprehensive review and recodification of the County Code. Chapter 13 pertains to the dumping, accumulation, storage, removal, recycling, and disposal of solid waste.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Natural Resources Stewardship: Thoughtfully protect and manage Albemarle County’s ecosystems and natural resources in both the rural and development areas to safeguard the quality of life of current and future generations.
DISCUSSION: The process of recodifying the County Code includes making formatting, style, organizational, and substantive changes. These changes are being addressed at the chapter level before the Board considers adopting a complete, recodified Code later in 2018.
Substantive changes are proposed for some provisions of Chapter 13 to be consistent with recent amendments to State law, and to repeal obsolete regulations and unnecessary regulations.
The attached draft ordinance (Attachment A), with any changes made pursuant to direction from the Board on May 9, will be forwarded to the County’s Solid Waste Alternatives Advisory Committee for its review and comment. The Board’s public hearing on the ordinance will be scheduled thereafter.
BUDGET IMPACT: Adopting the proposed ordinance will have no budget impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board direct staff to forward the attached proposed ordinance to the Solid Waste Alternatives Advisory Committee for its review and comment, and schedule a public hearing to consider adoption of the proposed ordinance on September 12, 2018.
