partially off -set salary costs.
CalRecycle annually issues enforcement assistance grants to LEAS. Funds are available to improve
the capability of local agencies to inspect closed and active solid waste facilities. Our department
has successfully applied for and received grant monies from the CalRecycle for the last several
years.

the LEA, is eligible for approximately $15,500.00 in Enforcement .Agency Grant funds from

FROM: Ut'�'Leonard Grossberg, Interim Director
RE: Request for Approval to Apply for a Local Enforcement Grant / LEA-23
Funds FY 2012/2013
BACKGROUND:
Our department is requesting authorization to apply for an Enforcement Agency Grant from the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The grant monies will be utilized
to procure equipment and supplies, to obtain the necessary training to help us meet our state -
mandated responsibilities as a Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), and to partially off-
set salary costs.
CalRecycle annually issues enforcement assistance grants to LEAs. Funds are available to improve
the capability of local agencies to inspect closed and active solid waste facilities. Our department
has successfully applied for and received grant monies from the CalRecycle for the last several
years.
With one permitted solid waste facility and ten closed sites within our jurisdiction, our department as
the LEA, is eligible for approximately $15,500.00 in Enforcement Agency Grant funds from
CalRecycle to procure necessary equipment, supplies, and training.
In order to receive the Enforcement Agency Grant, we must submit the following documents to
CalRecycle by May 10, 2012:
• Grant Application to CalRecycle
We are forwarding a draft resolution to the City Attorney for revision and submission. In the past,
we have also submitted a grant application. However, this year, because of State budgetary issues,
an application with an exact grant amount will not be available until the beginning of May when the
application deadline is also set.
In order to submit the grant application in a timely manner, we are requesting the City Council's
authorization in advance.
Following City Council approval, I will sign the Grant Application for submission to CalRecycle.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No negative fiscal impact is expected by approving this request. The grant funds will benefit the
City by reducing the amount of City funds needed to conduct mandated solid waste programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that approval be given to submit the application by the deadline date of May 10,
2012 to CalRecycle. A resolution shall be drafted by the City Attorney and attached to the staff
report addressed to the Mayor Pro-Tempore and Council Members for final approval.
