Agenda Item
7. SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE
The disposal of solid waste at Orange County landfills is governed by a Waste Disposal Agreement under which cities and sanitary districts agree to exclusively deposit certain waste at the County of Orange’s landfills in exchange for low and stable disposal rates. The current Waste Disposal Agreement was entered into in 2009 and subsequently amended to extend the term through June 30, 2025. The Orange County City Manager Association is currently negotiating a successor agreement to the agreement with OC Waste & Recycling and additional time is required to finalize mutually agreeable terms and disposal fees. The proposed amendment extends the current agreement by one year to allow for continued negotiations and includes a 2.6% disposal fee increase, per the escalation formula in the current agreement.
