AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF APPLICATION(S) FOR ALL CALRECYCLE GRANTS FOR WHICH THE CITY OF SAN
MATEO IS ELIGIBLE
WHEREAS, Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorizes the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to administer various grant programs (Grants) in furtherance of the State of California’s efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the state thereby preserving landfill capacity and protecting public health and safety and the environment; and WHEREAS, in furtherance of this authority CalRecycle is required to establish procedures governing the application, awarding, and management of Grants; and
WHEREAS, CalRecycle’s grant application procedures require, among other things, an applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle Grants.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES that:
1. This action by the City in passing a resolution authorizing the submission of grant applications is not subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
2. The City Council authorizes the submittal of applications to CalRecycle for all grants for which the City of San Mateo is eligible.
3. The City Manager, or Solid Waste Supervisor as designee, is hereby authorized to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments, and requests for payment, necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project on behalf of the City of San Mateo.
4. This authorization is effective for five (5) years from the date of adoption of this resolution.
