Background
The Local Task Force (LTF) was established on March 13, 1990 (Reso No. 90-0437) as mandated by the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) and other related state laws. Among its roles is the development and updating of the County’s Integrated Waste Management Plan. This plan includes a Source Reduction and Recycling Element, a Household Hazardous Waste Element, a Non-Disposal Facility Element, and a Siting Element. Consistent with AB 939, the LTF also serves to advise the Board of Supervisors on other countywide solid waste resource management and recycling issues.
The LTF also provides advice to the jurisdictions of Sonoma County on the implementation of the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, and to provide a forum for the public discussion of solid waste management, waste reduction, and recycling issues. The LTF is comprised of representatives from each city and the County, organizations with technical expertise, and other interested parties, all of whom are appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
The Sonoma County Public Infrastructure Department (SPI) is requesting the approval of initial appointments for new members and reappointments for existing members to the Local Task Force.
