The Solid Waste Recycling Coordinator and Solid Waste Supervisor positions are both fully funded by the City of Auburn. Schedule: January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2009 Goals: To increase the awareness of and participation in Auburn's waste reduction and recycling programs, and to increase waste diversion in the Residential, Multifamily and Business waste streams. Background: Business Community In 2006-2007, the City of Auburn created a recycling and waste prevention outreach program based on the Social Marketing approach, which could be used to reach different business sectors. The Light Industrial sector (160 businesses) was targeted for the "Recycling All-Stars Program" pilot. A business recycling "tool kit" was distributed to each of the 43 participants that signed up. The City will continue to invite different business sectors to join the Business Recycling All- Stars Program, in efforts to increase awareness of recycling and waste prevention practices. Outreach avenues may include newsletters, use of chamber media, presence at business gatherings, and diverse media outreach and follow-up. Residential Community In 2006-2007, the City of Auburn did recycling and waste prevention outreach and education to single-family, duplex, multifamily and mobile home residents through media avenues such as: newsletters, advertising, website announcements, phone messages, flyers, and city, county and community recycling events. The City recognizes the importance of educating a diverse community about different methods of waste reduction and recycling. Auburn will continue to successfully participate in City and County events, publish newsletters, articles, give primary school classroom presentations, answer citizen questions, and give resources to residents who ask for assistance. The City will also continue outreach and education of the new Food Waste Recycling Program (launched in the summer of 2007) for single-family residents. 1 Project 41: Business Recycling A.

Evidence of Coverage The above captioned entity is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA), which is a self insured pool of over 123 municipal corporations in the State of Washington. WCIA has at least $1 million per occurrence combined single limit of liability coverage in its self insured layer that may be applicable in the event an incident occurs that is deemed to be attributed to the negligence of the member. WCIA is an Interlocal Agreement among municipalities and liability is completely self funded by the membership. As there is no insurance policy involved and WCIA is not an insurance company, your organization cannot be named as an "additional insured". Sincerely, Eric B.
