Home My WebLink About09 - Department of Conservation Grant Funding Requesta Council Agenda Item No. 9 April 23, 2002 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: General Services Director SUBJECT: Department of Conservation Grant Funding Request Recommendation Approve the submittal of a grant request to the Department of Conservation Recycling Division in the amount of $40,840 and reconfirm the designation of the General Services Director as the City representative. Background Pursuant to Section 14581(a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, the Department of Conservation's Division of Recycling is required to distribute a total of $10,500,000 to eligible cities and counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities during the 2001 -02 and 2002 -2003 Fiscal Years. Beginning in 2000 and each year thereafter, the Department of Conservation (DOC) will provide the City with a Funding Request Form, which specifies the amount of funds the City is eligible to receive. Funding amounts for each jurisdiction are calculated by the DOC based on each jurisdiction's respective population. At this time, the City is eligible for $20,420 for each of the current and subsequent annual grant cycles for a grand total of $40,840. Discussion The available funds may be used only for programs with a primary emphasis on collection and recycling of beverage containers or litter abatement in public places or other related activities involving the recycling of beverage containers. To receive the appropriated funds, the City must submit a completed Funding Request Form including a description of the recycling and/or litter reduction activities for which the funds will be expended. The City is also required to adopt a resolution designating a City official to prepare and execute any necessary documents to implement the proposed activities. The City has participated in the funding program for two successive years. Each year the funds have been used to implement a beach litter abatement program. A resolution adopted by the Council in May 2000 authorizing the General Services Director to execute all forms necessary for the purposes of securing the grant payments will satisfy the FAUSERSMVNEIdridge�APRIL 02\ Council- DeptComs Rpt_Apri102- Prks.doc current resolution requirements. A new Funding Request Form for the new grant term is attached. The attached Funding Request Form proposes to use the funds to pay labor and some supply costs for litter abatement in public areas. The abatement areas will include the Newport and Balboa piers and Corona Del Mar Main Beach. Litter will be removed from these beach areas including the adjacent parking lots, sidewalks, grass areas, parks and commercial districts as well as some City park locations. The General Services Department will administer the program, which involves hiring a total of eight temporary employees to work full -time shifts during the summer months in either the beach or park maintenance roles. Some of the workers will be scheduled to work weekend shifts. The City is eligible for sufficient funding to employ the temporary workers for a period of approximately twelve weeks this summer. In previous years, the Department of Conservation has issued payment at the end of the fiscal year in which the activities are implemented (on or near June 30). This year, the DOC has combined two funding cycles. As a result of the change, the City is eligible to receive $20,420 at the end of the current fiscal year (June 30, 2002) and $20,420 at the beginning of the next fiscal year (July 2002). All funds must be spent by June 30, 2003. Very respectfully, David E.
