Resolution Approving the King County 2019 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan - Adopt Pat McLaughlin, Director of King County Solid Waste presented the 2019 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan and noted that Partnerships among system participants are key to the successful implementation of this Plan. In 2018, the final city signed the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement, that Kent signed back in 2013, thereby securing participation of all 37 partner cities through 2040. This milestone reaffirms the county’s responsibility to provide disposal through 2040, allows costs and risks to be shared across the large regional customer base, and strengthens opportunities to work together to achieve environmental goals. Staff recommends adoption of the Solid Waste Comprehensive Plan Resolution to approve the 2019 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. The 2019 Plan cannot receive the ultimate final approval from the Public Works Committee CC PW Regular Meeting Minutes July 1, 2019 Kent, Washington Page 3 of 3 Washington State Department of Ecology unless cities representing at least 75 percent of the incorporated population of the cities that take action to approve the Plan during the 120-day period.
