A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH DECLARING ITS INTENTION
TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER
THE GRANTING OF A NON - EXCLUSIVE SOLID
WASTE FRANCHISE TO JB SERVICES

the public health, safety and welfare; and,

solid waste hauling services will promote the public health, safety and welfare by promoting
permanence and stability among those businesses wishing to provide such service and
accountability to the City for compliance with current and future state mandates; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XIII of the City Charter and pursuant to Sections 49500
through 49523 of the Public Resources Code, the City is authorized to enter into non - exclusive
