BACKGROUND:
The South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) was formed on December 9, 1999, pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA), executed by twelve Member Agencies, including the County of San Mateo. The JPA was amended in 2006, 2013, and 2021. In December of 2020, the Town of Atherton withdrew from the SBWMA. The SBWMA was formed to provide solid waste and recycling services to its member agencies, which includes County Service Area 8 (North Fair Oaks) and County Franchised Area, and the following cities: Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, San Mateo, Redwood City, San Carlos, and West Bay Sanitary District (a special district).
DISCUSSION:
The SBWMA administrative offices have been located in the City of San Carlos' Library for the last 16 years. The SBWMA's current lease ends on June 30, 2024 and the City of San Carlos has indicated the lease will not be extended due to the city requiring additional office space. The SBWMA began working with a commercial real estate broker to find affordable office space that would accommodate the agency, public guests, and provide meeting space for the SBWMA Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Committee. The space would need to include parking, be located near public transit, and be in close proximity to the Shoreway Environmental Center facility in San Carlos, which is managed by the SBWMA.
