FROM: Lillian E. Kellerman, City Clerk
DATE: April 30, 1992
SUBJECT: Consider Request for Amicus Support -City of

The City of Rancho Mirage is seeking Amicus support in a case
brought against it by the recycling industry. The issue in

Attorney has indicated that an adverse decision would allow
any and all recyclers to enter the community and "cherry
pick" the recyclables.

Mirage vs. Palm Springs Recycling Center on the condition
that the City incur no cost for the preparation or filing of
the Brief.

The City of Rancho Mirage is seeking amicus support in
a case brought by the recycling industry. The issue in the case
is whether or not cities can franchise or contract for the
collection of recyclable material; an adverse decision would
allow any and all recyclers to enter the community and "cherry -
pick" the recyclables.
I recommend that the City Council authorize me to join
the City of Moorpark to the amicus brief being prepared by the
law firm of Hallgrimson, McNichols, McCann & Inderbitzen located
in Pleasanton, on condition that the City incur no cost for the
preparation or filing of the brief.
