A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE
RENEWAL OF THE VENTURA COUNTY RECYCLING
MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE
WHEREAS, California Public Resources Code Section 42010, et al. provides for
the establishment of the Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) program
throughout the State which provides incentives to stimulate development of post-
consumer and secondary materials markets for recyclables; and
WHEREAS, all California jurisdictions must meet diversion rates mandated by
the California Integrated Waste Management Act; and
WHEREAS, the Ventura County RMDZ includes designated areas in the County
of Ventura and the cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme,
San Buenaventura, Santa Paula, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks; and
WHEREAS, the Ventura County RMDZ is dedicated to establishing, sustaining
and expanding recycling-based manufacturing businesses; and
WHEREAS, the current and proposed waste management practices and
conditions are favorable to the development of post-consumer and secondary waste
materials markets; and
WHEREAS, the designation as a RMDZ is necessary to assist in facilitating local
and regional recycling market development planning and coordination, supporting
existing recycling-based manufacturing businesses, and attracting private sector
recycling investments to the area; and
WHEREAS, the continued development of local markets for recycled materials
reduces the need to transport recyclables out of the region; and
WHEREAS, the California Legislature has defined environmental justice as "the
fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the
development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations and policies" (Government Code section 65040.12(e)), and the California
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has adopted a goal to
continuously integrate environmental justice concerns into all of the Department's
programs and activities; and
WHEREAS, the designation of the Ventura County RMDZ will expire on April 28,
2013, unless re-designated by CalRecycle; and
WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark desires to remain within the Ventura County
RMDZ so existing and new recycling-based manufacturing businesses will be eligible
for the technical and financial incentives associated with the RMDZ program; and

WHEREAS, the County of Ventura has agreed to act as Lead Agency for the
proposed renewal and implementation of the Ventura County RMDZ; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the County of Ventura has determined that this re-designation is exempt from CEQA;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Moorpark finds there are no grounds for the City of
Moorpark to assume the Lead Agency role or to prepare an environmental document.

DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

and Thousand Oaks as well as the unincorporated portions of Ventura County.
