Item # C
Date: November 12, 1991
SUBJECT: Revisions to Chapter 10 of City Code to allow private land
applications of leaves and grass.
BACKGROUND:
As the yard waste regulations have been implemented, no provision was
made for allowing private land application of grass and leaves except by
specific designation in the City Code. In order to encourage private use
of these materials for soil conditioner and weed control and to not create
an undue administrative situation, staff has developed modifications to the
existing requirements whereby private individuals can accept grass and
leaves providing they complete land application within 72 hours of receipt
of the material.
These proposed changes will allow citizens to look for and use less costly
alternatives for leave and grass disposal. If problems generate from
inappropriate operation of the private land application sites, existing
regulations are in place to pursue correction.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the proposed changes to Chapter 10 that allow the private
land application of leaves and grass.
2. Reject the proposal and require each person interested in use of
leaves and grass for land application to petition the City Council for
official designation.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt the
proposed changes to allow private land application of leaves and grass.
