RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager or her designee to approve a
resolution authorizing submittal of an application to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board in support of the Sixth Cycle 2000/2003 Used Oil Block Grant
application.
BACKGROUND
The Califomia Oil Recycling Enhancemen~ Act authorizes the collection of four cents from
oil manufacturers for every quart of lubricating motor oil sold, transferred or imported into
California. The Act mandates the California Integrated Waste Management Board to
annually provide block grants to local governments for establishing local used oil collection
programs that encourage recycling or appropriate disposal of used oil. Block grants are not
competitive; therefore, local governments need only to describe how they meet the
program’s eligibility requirements and how they intend to spend the funds. Each eligible
applicant will be awarded up to $0.32 for each resident ($19,743) w.ith an additional $0.025
per resident ($1,530) to establish oil filter collection and recycling. Matching funds are not
required.
DISCUSSION
The grant funds will be used to support and enhance existing oil recycling, waste disposal
programs, and public education programs for oil and oil filter recycling at the Recycling
Center, curbside oil and oil filter collection and recycling programs, and public education
for all recycling and Household Hazardous Waste programs.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Funds for recycling and public education programs are included in the FY 1999-00 Refuse
Fund Operating Budget.
