AI Summary
This bill modifies Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) to allow cities within Marion County to have more control over solid waste management within their jurisdictional boundaries. Specifically, the bill enables a city in Marion County to independently control or direct the disposal, transfer, or material/energy recovery of solid waste generated within its city limits. Before exercising these authorities, the city must first adopt an ordinance that outlines the extent of its solid waste management control. The bill amends existing law to clarify that when a city takes control of its solid waste management, the Marion County Board of Commissioners loses its previous authority over that city's waste stream. The legislation preserves the county's existing broad powers for solid waste management, such as selling waste by-products, requiring the use of specific disposal sites, licensing waste facilities, and establishing rates, while creating a new pathway for cities to manage their own waste independently. This change provides more local control and flexibility for cities in Marion County to design waste management strategies that best suit their specific needs.
