MEETING DATE: June 7, 2016
ITEM NUMBER: CC -1 Z
SUBJECT: BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING PAYMENT PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION
DATE: May 19, 2016
FROM: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT/ADMINISTRATION
PRESENTATION BY: ERNESTO MUNOZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JOSEPH TURNER, 714-754-5024
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached resolution (ATTACHMENT 1) authorizing City staff to submit applications for all
CalRecycle payment programs, including the beverage container recycling payment program, for
which the City is eligible.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 14581(a)(3)(A), the California Department
of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is distributing $10,500,000 from fiscal year
2015-16 to eligible cities and counties specifically for beverage container recycling and litter
cleanup activities. Each city is eligible to receive $5,000 or an amount calculated by CalRecycle,
on a per capita basis, whichever is greater. To be eligible to receive grant funding, local
jurisdictions must adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of payment program applications to
CalRecycle.
ANALYSIS:
Per AB 939 (The Integrated Waste Management Act) and AB 341 (Mandatory Commercial
Recycling), the City is required to take steps to encourage recycling and composting. CalRecycle
administers a beverage container recycling payment program to provide opportunities for beverage
container recycling and litter cleanup activities.
Based on the City's population, the City is eligible to receive approximately $35,000. If program funds
are allocated to the City, staff desires to use the funds to promote beverage container recycling
efforts and awareness at multifamily and commercial locations.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or his or her designee will be the designated signature authority
to execute all documents necessary to implement and secure payment. The authorization will be
effective until rescinded by the CEO or the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City may forego the opportunity to apply for state funding through CalRecycle payment
programs. In lieu of the funding award, the City would be required to rely on internal budget resources
or grant opportunities from other sources.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no cost to the City. Staff will submit a funding request and, if approved, the City will be
eligible to receive approximately $35,000 to support beverage container recycling and litter cleanup
activities.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney reviewed the attached Resolution and approved it as to form.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing staff to submit
applications for all CalRecycle payment programs.
