Adopt City Council Resolution Consenting to the County of Mendocino's Extension of Caspar Transfer Station Operations Agreement and Lease to June 30, 2021
Summary
The City of Fort Bragg and the County of Mendocino co-own the Caspar Transfer Station, a self-haul solid waste facility located on Prairie Way in Caspar which serves residents and businesses in the central coastal region of Mendocino County. On January 25, 2011, the County of Mendocino and Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc. entered into an Agreement for operation of the Caspar Transfer Station. The Agreement expires on June 30, 2017 unless extended. Section 4(A)(3) of the Agreement allows the County, with the concurrence of the City of Fort Bragg, to extend the term of the Agreement one or more times to any date up to December 31, 2029, provided that written notice is given to Solid Wastes of Willits not less than 180 days prior to the expiration date. On March 18, 2016, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors took action to extend the Agreement to June 30, 2021 pending concurrence from the City of Fort Bragg. If adopted, this resolution provides the City Council's consent to the extension of the Agreement. Staff recommends adoption of the resolution to ensure continued operations at the Caspar Transfer Station while work continues on the permitting and development of a new commercial and self-haul transfer station facility to serve the central coast region.
