WHEREAS, the bill AB 1647 recognizes that all materials

recovery and reuse programs in its Source Reduction and Recycling
Element (SRRE), and

a significant role in helping to meet the diversion goals, and

BAR DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, THAT the City of Diamond Bar expresses
support for the passing of AB 1647 (Bustamante) which would grant
