King City City Council meeting recap



The King City City Council met on Tuesday night, October 9 at City Hall. Contracts and Grants Analyst Elia Zavala with Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority provided a 2017 Waste Management Performance report for the City of King. Zavala went over how much garbage was collected in the residential sector, the commercial sector and what type of items were collected. Zavala said that in the residential sector Waste Management collected 5,155 tons of material with 63% of it being trash, 16% was recycling items and 21% was yard waste, while from 2016 to 2017 Waste Management had a 6% increase in trash that was collected along with 1% in yard waste and 14% in recycling. Zavala feels that this increase may have to do with the population going up. In the Commercial sector Zavala stated that Waste Management collected 6,562 tons of material in 2017 with 83% of it being trash, 12% was recycling items and 5% was yard waste, while from 2016 to 2017 there was a 7% increase in commercial trash collected along with 25% in yard waste and 67% in recycling.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau.   Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
