do we have any public comments on this I have no callers on item three okay uh miss treadwell if you'd like to bring us up to date on where we are yes so thank you so much chair uh as you said we continue this item from the December 1st lawn legislation committee um primarily because the haulers had requested a little more time to take a look at the code that we're bringing in from the Sacramento Regional Solid Waste Authority as a result of their dissolution in 2021 we were able to convene a meeting on December 4th with the haulers um and go through their written comments as well as the city's response we were able to come up with an agreement of items that require very minor changes we could handle in this version of the proposed code and um some bigger items that we're committed to coming back in 2021 to review and revise we have to come back in 2021 uh to take a look at this code not only from what the haulers are are asking for but because of SB 1383 the state organics laws we're going to have to expand and revise our code to meet those requirements for 2022 so we have two drivers to bring us back to take a look at it the main changes that the haulers wanted in the code were to pieces of SWAC that have been in existence for many years but as you take fresh eyes or look with anything with fresh eyes after 2022 years you see some changes that need to be made um they would have required a little bit more um uh reviews and research by our attorneys and we wish to have that time to do that um so we all agree that we would come back take a look at those and uh probably be bringing this back to the law and legislation committee um in a revised form uh late next year but to that end we do need to bring code into the city so that we can take on the role of regulating commercial waste calling and generation and we need to um hopefully if the committee agrees uh move this code to uh council we'll bring it to council in january uh so that we can have code in place by early march and can start uh executing the franchise agreements which we also have to bring through the council process in May and June great and with that happy to answer
