RESOLUTION NO. 89 - 37
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, Santa Clara Valley Water District is a local agency of the State
of California empowered to manage the water supplies within the area of Santa Clara
County and, in particular, to take all actions necessary and appropriate to the
protection of groundwater from contamination; and
WHEREAS, there is evidence that the improper disposal of household
hazardous products into the household trash, into a storm drain or sanitary sewer,
into a sump, or into a municipal solid waste landfill may result in injuries to
refuse workers or in a leachate that may be harmful to public health and safety by
reason of entry into aquifers which provide potable water.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Gilroy supports the concept of a countywide program for household hazardous waste
education and collection; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that those jurisdictions in Santa Clara County
that do not provide and fund household hazardous waste collection opportunities for
their residents be encouraged to do so; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Council supports the development of a
proposal for such a countywide program and its consideration by the
Intergovernmental Council.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Council of the City of Gilroy this 5th day of

AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: GAGE, HALE, KLOECKER, MUSSALLEM, PALMERLEE,
