INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:Lisa L. Kim

From:William E. Murray
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Public Works 
Subject:

Adoption of a Resolution authorizing submittal of applications for grant opportunities offered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).  (Action Item)

Date:10/24/2023
OBJECTIVE

To request approval of a Resolution to authorize participation in various grants offered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
BACKGROUND

CalRecycle offers various grants for cities and other government agencies to apply for and receive funding.  These grants include Used Oil Recycling, Rubberized Asphalt Pavement, and others that relate to reducing, recycling and reusing solid waste generated in the state.

DISCUSSION

In the past, CalRecycle has required that resolutions be adopted for each grant application or a resolution with no end date.  CalRecycle has changed their resolution requirements and now accepts the adoption of one resolution every five years to cover most grant applications.

 

Staff was notified in September 2023 that the City is eligible for up to $298,000 in CalRecycle Local Assistance Grant funds related to Senate Bill (SB) 1383.  If successful, the funding will be used to help meet the City's procurement requirements under the regulations adopted pursuant to SB 1383 pertaining to organics recycling.

 

The attached resolution authorizes the Public Works Director to sign applications and all other agreements and required documentation necessary to apply for, and implement any approved CalRecycle grant project for a term of five years.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. Grant funds will be used to meet SB 1383 requirements. 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Approve the attached Resolution authorizing the submittal of grants to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).
