DOR 521/00 A - 2 Page 2 of 2 City of Vernon Department of Conservation SB332 Grant Proposed Activities for the 2000-2001 Grant Year Task #1 - Movie Theater Advertising The City of Vernon will join with the City of Huntington Park to develop and place a number of movie theater screen ads to encourage residents to recycle their Used Beverage Containers (aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles). These ads will be placed at the Pacific Warners theater in Huntington Park. These are the nearest and most centrally located movie theaters for both Huntington Park residents, many of whom work for businesses located in the City of Vernon, and for Vernon residents themselves. The movie theater ads will promote the environmental importance of recycling beverage containers, the impact improperly disposed containers have on the landscape as litter, and the fact that these containers can be recycled for cash. The movie screen ads will be run for approximately 6 months, in two 3-month intervals. The cost for the movie theater screen ads will be split evenly between the Cities of Vernon and Huntington Park. Cost - $1, 000 Task #2 - Recycling Promotional Outreach to Vernon Businesses The City of Vernon is home to hundreds of commercial and industrial businesses. These businesses give the City a daytime population of approximately 50,000. The City sees a great potential among this audience of Vernon business employees and wants to reach out to them with the beverage container recycling message. The City proposes to create a recycling promotional item that will be provided free of charge to employers in the City for distribution to their employees. The item will be imprinted with a simple recycling message that reminds the recipient of the importance of recycling their cans and plastic and glass bottles. Working with its established network of business contacts in the community, the City will provide the items to the businesses for distribution at their cafeterias, break rooms, employee lounges, and at employee picnics, parties, and events. The promotional item selected will have a minimal cost to allow the City to purchase the maximum number possible. While the actual item has not yet been selected, possible promo items include pens, key chains, bottle and can openers, and coasters. The item ultimately selected will tie-in with the overall recycling goal. To the extent possible, the selected item will be manufactured using recycled materials. Cost - $1, 500 A - 3 Task #3 - Community Outreach Event City of Vernon staff will participate at community events in the neighboring communities to promote the importance of beverage container recycling. This outreach activity will be coordinated with one or more of the surrounding communities. The program will target participation at a wide variety of community events such as Earth Day celebrations, Cinco de Mayo Festivals, 4' of July community picnics, and other city- wide events and celebrations. At these events staff will distribute recycling information, lists of neighborhood recycling centers, and program promotional materials. Cost - $500 Task #4 - Recyclina Containers for Businesses The City of Vernon will develop a pilot program to purchase and distribute recycling containers for use at businesses in the community. These recycling containers will be designed to be used in cafeterias, break rooms, and employee lounges for the collection of aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles. These containers, mostly generated from on -site vending machines, will be collected and recycled by the business'. employees. The funds earned would either be used to support employee activities or be donated to a community organization. The goal of this task is to establish the infrastructure needed to provide beverage container recycling opportunity where it does not currently exist. The goal for the first year is to provide recycling containers for 10 businesses in the City. Each business will be provided with 3 recycling containers of approximately 30-gallons capacity each. One container each will be provided for aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles. The containers will be marked with decals indicating what material should go in each. In addition, each container will be marked with a decal with the program slogan "Vernon Wants You! To Recycle!" While the City will provide the containers, all the recycling collection and the processing of the containers will be the responsibility of the participating businesses. Cost - $1, 000 Task #5 - School Outreach The City will provide presentations and participation activities to the students of the Vernon City School as part of their beverage container recycling program. In the past these presentations had been limited to discussions of household hazardous waste materials and the damage that they can cause the environment. With the additional funds from the DOC grant, the presentations will be expanded to discuss can and bottle recycling and the littering problems these containers can cause. The recycling presentation will be made in conjunction with an annual calendar contest that the City sponsors. After the presentation, students are encouraged to create environmentally themed artwork and enter it in the calendar contest. A - 4 The winners of the contest are recognized by the City Council and receive awards and prizes made possible through the sponsorship of local businesses. Cost - $500' Task #6 - Grant Oversiaht and Administration The City will use a small portion of the grant funds to hire a consultant to oversee and coordinate the activities of the grant.

An ongoing litter problem exists within the City and neighboring communities, and staff is requesting to apply for the grant funds and utilize them to develop and distribute public information items.

Very truly yours, Bruce V. Malkenhorst City Clerk BVM/gst To: Bruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator From: Lewis Pozzebon, Director, Environmental Health Date: 05/09/00 Re: Request for Approval to Apply for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Cleanup Grant Funds The California Department of Conservation has announced that, pursuant to Section 14581(a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, the City of Vernon is eligible for $5,000 in grant funds. Because litter is an ongoing problem in our city as well as in neighboring communities, we are proposing to apply for the grant funds and utilize them to develop and distribute public information items. The public information efforts would be similar to those used in the Used Oil Recycling Program that have been very successful for the last several years. With your concurrence, I am recommending that the City Council authorize the application for the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction grant funds. For your consideration, I am attaching the completed application which will need your signature, and a copy of a sample resolution for reference. Please note that the application with the City Council resolution must be received by the Department of Conservation by Wednesday, May 31, 2000. Please have the documents returned to our department for submission to the Department of Conservation. If the Department of Conservation approves the grant, I propose to utilize the services of our used oil recycling consultant, KJ Services, for the Beverage Container Program. A consulting services agreement will be drafted and submitted for your consideration at a later date.
