FROM: iw:j' Leonard Grossberg, Director / Health Officer
RE: Request for Approval to Apply, Receive and Spend the Solid Waste
Local Enforcement Grant / LEA-25 Funding for FY 2014/2015
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") in accordance with (i) CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (b) (3), the general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment and (ii) CEQA
Guidelines section 15308 because the actions to be funded by the grant are to protect the
environment; and
2. Adopt the attached Resolution approving and authorizing the execution of an application
for an Enforcement Assistance Grant from the California Department of Recycling and Recovery
(CalRecycle) for FY 2014-2015, and authorize the Director of Health & Environmental Control
to apply for, receive and expend said grant funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Health and Environmental Control is requesting authorization to apply,
receive and spend funds for a Solid Waste Enforcement Agency Grant from the Department of
Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). With the grant monies the Department intends
to procure equipment and supplies, obtain the necessary training to help meet our state -mandated
responsibilities as a Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), and use remaining funds to
partially off -set salary costs. All of these are permitted expenditures under grant funding
guidelines.
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. The
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, the
Department, as the LEA, is eligible for $15,558.00 in Enforcement Agency Grant funds from
CalRecycle to procure necessary equipment, supplies, and training.
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.
