Background Information:
The last recruitment for an Agency Manager of the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency was in December 2015. Current Board members that were on the Board at that time include Vice-Chair Carlson and Director Bacquet. Essential functions of the Agency Manager, as outlined in the job description, include the following:
• Administers the operation of the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency, including supervising, managing and otherwise providing for overall administration of the program budget, personnel, projects, activities and responsibilities of the Agency.
• Writes, or directs the writing of, staff reports related to solid waste planning such as environmental impact analysis, solid waste facilities, siting elements, solid waste ordinances and resolutions.
• Maintains liaison and coordinates plans and projects with management consultants, and state, federal, county, and local agencies.
• Monitors and advises the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency of current laws and pending legislation related to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery and other agencies having jurisdiction.
• Conducts on-site inspections of solid waste facilities, both public and private, to obtain field data required for solid waste planning and compliance.
• Negotiate and administers contracts with local jurisdictions, landfill site owners/operators and private companies.
Major projects over the next several years include the following:
• Management and oversight of the Landfill Operations Agreement between the Agency and Waste Connections with the initial term ending February 28, 2034.
o This agreement includes constructing all remaining cells of the Phase 2 Landfill, as well as development and permitting of a Phase 3 Landfill.
• Development of a Composting Facility at the Tehama County/Red Bluff Landfill, contingent upon Board approval.
• Oversight of the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant until April 2026.
• Development of the 4R Kids Exhibit Trailer.
• Compliance with AB 1826: Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling in 2027, pending any future legislation exempting Rural Jurisdictions.
• Management and oversight of the two Household Hazardous Waste Facilities in Red Bluff and Corning, and the Household Hazardous Waste Services Agreement with ACTenviro until December 31, 2027.
The Agency Manager has historically sat on several boards and committees locally and statewide, including being appointed as Tehama County’s Alternate to the Rural County Representatives of California Environmental Services Joint Powers Authority (RCRC ESJPA). It is the hope of the Agency that the new Agency Manager is encouraged to remain involved in these boards and committees.
