Lt. Carr. Sheriff's Department,responded that the event is scheduled to take place on June

getting some responses from the local businesses indicating their interest in participating in

Councilmember Hilkev. reported that he attended a musical on Lewis Armstrong that was
put on by the first grade students at Terrace View. He indicated that he attended the Solid
Waste Task Force meeting. There is a new environmental issue with regards to Capital Ray
Tubes, which are now considered hazardous waste. CRT's must be recycled.
Mavor Buchanan. requested,staff to review the contract with Waste Management to see if
they provide services of recycling CRT's and if not negotiate some type of an agreement to
do so.
Councilmember Hilkev,indicated that Burtech Industries now has the contract to handle the
solid waste for the County of San Bernardino and requested staff to explain the special
package for tipping fees.
City Manager Schwab,indicated that there are some cities in the West End(Ontario,Upland,
Chino)that did not join the waste stream agreement and they are currently taking their waste
to a landfill in'Orange County. In an effort the entice those cities that abandoned the system
four years ago, they have offered a rate of$20.00 per ton. This is unfair to those cities that
have stuck with the system, however to maintain the integrity of the system, cities have
signed a fifteen year contract that indicates that they will only allow those few communities
that have to process their waste through transfer stations to get the$20.00 tipping fee. City
Managers from the Cities that signed the agreement are meeting with the County of San
Bernardino to discuss their concerns.
Councilmember Hilkev,reported that he attended a SANBAG and RCTC meeting to discuss
the 215 Freeway. They both have committed to coordinate their efforts with regards to the
