County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors Meeting of October 3, 1995

The County of Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors held a meeting on October 3, 1995, which included extensive discussions on procurement and regulatory matters related to solid waste management. Key procurement-related topics included the presentation and adoption of rules and regulations governing unscheduled solid waste handling services, with a focus on permit requirements, fee structures, enforcement programs, and service limitations. The board considered a $4 per container permit fee, replacing a previous 2% gross revenue fee, and debated provisions such as the need and necessity clause to limit the number of permits issued, and a 20-time service limitation to prevent unscheduled services from replacing scheduled franchise services. The board directed staff to adopt the proposed rules and regulations with amendments to include the need and necessity clause and the roll-off container requirement, with a commitment to return with refined language within 30 days. Other procurement-related actions included approval of a development plan and lot line adjustments for the Calla Real Shopping Center remodel, and adoption of an official map for the town site of Naples, which involved complex land parcel validity issues. The meeting also featured presentations on legislative advocacy, employee grievance procedures, and various proclamations. Motions were passed to approve administrative items, continue certain agenda items, and adopt resolutions related to ethics codes and solid waste regulations.
