SUBJECT: Relocation of Household Hazardous Waste Facility
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
TITLE
Approve the potential use of an 11.25-acre parcel adjacent and to the west of the American Avenue Disposal Site and a site adjacent to Kearney Park as the new location of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility currently sited at the American Avenue Disposal Site.
