INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Adoption of a Resolution authorizing submittal of an application for payment programs through the CalRecycle Program. (Action Item) | Date: | 5/10/2016 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to adopt a Resolution authorizing submittal of applications for the Beverage Container City/County Payments administered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
Each year the City receives approximately $45,000 from this program to promote beverage container recycling and beverage container litter reduction activities. These funds have allowed the City to form a partnership with the Orange County Conservation Corps to provide beverage container recycling and litter abatement in the City’s parks. These grants are not competitive, but require qualifying jurisdictions to submit applications to receive funding. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
As part of the State’s internal audit of this program, a new requirement was initiated for all jurisdictions to adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of the grant application beginning with the Fiscal Year 2015/16 funding cycle. Therefore, staff recommends the adoption of the attached Resolution to enable staff to continue submitting funding requests on an annual basis. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Adopt the resolution authorizing submittal of applications for the Beverage Container City/County Payments administered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery.
