C. Elliott Landfill and conversion to use as a City solid waste transfer station site within the municipal landfill system; WHEREAS, in order to provide for a comprehensive and functional municipal solid waste system to be utilized by all residents and businesses in the City, to include a mechanism for grinding brush, receiving and properly disposing of household hazardous waste, and increasing the volume of recycled waste being collected annually, the City enacted the necessary ordinance provisions to establish fees and charges and incorpo- rated operating procedures to address the orderly, efficient, and sanitary disposal of all solid waste generated within the City; WHEREAS, the City issued bonds and other municipal debt financing measures to provide for the development of the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill and closure and con- version of J.
