To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, through its Waste Resource Management Unit, has
facilitated the North Oakland Household Hazardous Waste Consortium (NO HAZ) for the
past ten years; and
WHEREAS the cost of facilitating this program is reimbursed to the County by the
member communities; and
WHEREAS collection events for household hazardous waste are widely accepted as
the best way to provide citizens with a safe way to dispose of these toxic and poisonous
household chemicals, and they also contribute to Phase II Stormwater Protection
requirements, encourage pollution prevention and enhance environmental health and safety
in the home; and
WHEREAS more than 25,000 residents have used the program, resulting in more
than 2.6 million pounds of household hazardous waste being collected and recycled or
properly disposed of; and
WHEREAS Oakland County originally agreed to facilitate this program for three years
(2003, 2004, 2005), and then agreed to three additional extensions through 2012; and
WHEREAS budget constraints restrict the communities' ability to facilitate the
program individually; and
WHEREAS all current member communities have passed resolutions encouraging
the County to continue as the facilitator of the program; and
WHEREAS the county administration strongly supports the continuation of the
program for an additional three years (2013, 2014 and 2015); and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the Oakland County Waste Resource Management Unit to
continue facilitating the NO HAZ Program for an additional three years (2013, 2014 and
2015) as long as the member communities fully reimburse the County for all costs and
expenses connected with the operation of the program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that during this three-year period Oakland County and
the member communities will take steps to increase the number of member communities
during this three-year period.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning & Building Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
