TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing the application for the fourteenth cycle of the Used Motor Oil Block Grant and Implementation. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) provides block grants to local jurisdictions to promote the collection and recycling of used motor oil and used motor oil filters. This will be the City's fourteenth Used Motor Oil Block Grant. The CIWMB requires a resolution of the City Council authorizing the grant application. The attached resolution also authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents to carry out the purposes of the grant.
The State of California allocates funds to each jurisdiction annually. The grant period runs from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2011. Grant amounts are calculated on a per capita basis from a fund of at least $10 million dollars.
The City uses these funds to promote used oil recycling through various advertising and media outlets such as: newspaper advertisements, video productions, brochures, refuse truck signs and unique giveaways distributed at Citywide events. This year, grant activities will continue to support these same efforts.
