AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING ORDINANCE
NO. 117 AND REAFFIRMING THAT REFUSE COLLECTION WITH-
IN THE CITY IS CONTROLLED BY THE PROVISIONS OF
CHAPTER 2, DIVISION 3 OF TITLE 3 OF THE SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY CODE AS HERETOFORE ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 17
OF THE CITY AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF.
The City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California,
does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and determines that:
(a) At the time Ordinance No. 117 was adopted it was contem-
plated that the City of Rancho Cucamonga would enter into
exclusive franchise agreements providing for the weekly
collection of refuse from all residential units within the
City. This has not occurred.
(b) It now appears unlikely that acceptable franchise agreements
will be entered into with any refuse collector in the fore-
seeable future.
(c) The enactment of Ordinance No. 117 did not by its terms
repeal Chapter 2 of Division 3 of Title 3 (commencing with
Section 33.021) of the San Bernardino County Code entitled
"Refuse Collection" heretofore adopted by reference by
Ordinance No. 17.
(d) The coexistence of Ordinance No. 117 and said Chapter 2 of
Division 3 of Title 3 of the San Bernardino County Code are,
in the absence of the previously contemplated exclusive
franchise agreements, causing great public confusion and
concern.
(e) That certain refuse collectors are attempting to collect
refuse collection charges at rates higher than those
authorized by law.
SECTION 2: Ordinance No. 117 entitled "An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California, Providing for the Control,
Collection and Disposal of Refuse" is hereby repealed.
SECTION 3: Chapter 2 of Division 3 of Title 3 (commencing with
Section 33.021) of the San Bernardino County Code entitled "Refuse Collection"
as heretofore adopted and modified by Ordinance No. 17, shall remain in full
force and effect.
SECTION 4: The term "Department" is used in said Chapter 2 of
Division 3 of Title 3 of the San Bernardino County Code shall mean the City Manager
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
SECTION 5: For the reasons set forth in Section 1 hereof, this
Ordinance is for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or
safety, and it shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
