Commitments Original Partnership 2000 Commitments (1997)
- Identify the appropriate level of facility-based performance and make the appropriate
changes to reflect the outcome. Then build in tools to provide for exceptions to the
regulatory/statutory standard and come up with a joint proposal for how to achieve
facility based performance.
Accomplishments: Board Permitting and Enforcement Division (P&E)
advisories, local enforcement agency (LEA) training program.
- Redefine how the Enforcement Advisory Committee's (EAC) role, function and membership
will include deliberation on statewide issues in collaboration with Board staff to make
advisory recommendations to the Board and local enforcement agency (LEA) management
for resolution of these issues.
Accomplishments:Redefine the Enforcement Advisory Council's (EAC) role,
function and membership.
- Formalize an LEA assistance function separate from the LEA evaluation function at the
Board to address and assist with questions, etc., and provide training and technical
assistance.
Accomplishments:This is a work in progress that is continuing to
develop and be implemented. Examples include the Board training program, the technical
assistance survey, and the P&E Division reorganization to address the issues of how to
more effectively provide an LEA assistance function that is clear and distinct from the
evaluation function.
- Continue Partnership 2000
- Offer three pilot classes of Interest-Based Conflict Resolution on a volunteer basis to
LEAs and California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) staff, with one session each
in Northern, Central and Southern California. CIWMB would take the lead on this.
- Concurrently, conduct a joint training needs assessment for both technical and related
training. The CIWMB and the California Conference of Directors of Environmental Health
(CCDEH) would collaborate on implementation.
- Review the needs assessment results to identify which needs relate to technical issues
and which technical issues might also benefit from conflict management training. The CIWMB
and CCDEH would collaborate on implementation.
- Establish a training delivery sequence and implement training. CIWMB would take the
lead.
- Hold a solid waste conference for CIWMB staff and LEAs to provide more opportunity for
interaction and information exchange.
Accomplishments: The Partnership 2000 conference in Asilomar in
November of 1997 is a shining achievement with 120 LEA and Board staff participating. This
Partnership 2000 web site, regular steering committee meetings and Partnership 2000
workgroups are accomplishments towards meeting this committment. Three Interest Based
Conflict Management courses are scheduled for: April 21-23 in Sacramento, May 5-7 in Santa
Ana and May 11-13 in Visalia.
