Approval of the City of Roswell's 2010 Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP).
Presented by Stuart Moring, Director
Body
Item Summary:
Under the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act of 1990, local governments are to develop solid waste management plans every ten years. Revisions are required when substantial changes of population or service have occurred.
The City's current Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) was written and approved by Mayor and Council in October 2005. In the past five years, there have been significant changes in the City's jurisdictional boundaries and level of services provided to constituents. Due to these program changes, Georgia's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has requested that the City create a new SWMP.
The City will accept public comments and feedback regarding the SWMP until Wednesday, July 21, 2010. A copy of the current SWMP may be found on the City website or requested from the City Clerk's Office. Public comments may be submitted via telephone, writing and e-mail to the Public Works/Environmental Department. Two additional public hearings will be held to present the responses to input received, and to present the final Plan following DCA review.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On June 15, 2010 the Public Safety & Public Works Committee recommended placing this item on the June 21, 2010 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
None
