WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 939 (AB939), known as the Waste Management Act of 1989,

impacting the General Fund; and

operate and administer the waste reduction/diversion and recycling programs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista authorizes City staff to begin the public process, as required under Proposition 218, to
