SUBJECT: CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES RECYCLING AND RECOVERY
GRANT AND PAYMENT PROGRAM APPLICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee for a period of five years, beginning October 3, 2023 through October 3, 2028, to submit grant and payment applications to California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery and enter into grant and payment agreements with California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery if the agreements are within the City Manager’s existing City Council- designated contracting authority.
BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) offers funding opportunities, authorized by legislation, to assist public and private entities in the safe and effective management of the waste stream. To apply for these funding opportunities, CalRecycle requires all grant applicants to adopt a resolution that authorizes specific grant and payment-related matters. This resolution is needed to comply with this requirement.
If adopted, the resolution will authorize the City Manager or designee to submit proposals to CalRecycle; state the period of time the authorization is valid; and state the person authorized to execute grant and payment related documents. City Council approved a similar resolution, No. 78815, in 2018 that expires on October 2, 2023. Resolution No. 78815 will be superseded if the resolution is adopted.
CalRecycle offers many different grant and payment programs. Within the next five years, the City intends to apply for some of these programs, which include:
• Beverage Container Recycling
• Greenhouse Gas Reduction
• Household Hazardous Waste
• Solid Waste Disposal and Site Cleanup
• Tire Recycling, Cleanup, and Enforcement
• Used Oil Recycling
• Recycling Market Development Zone, Zone Incentive Funds • Local Enforcement Agency
Commission Recommendation/Input: No commission recommendation/input is associated with this action.
