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 2015-2016, 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 $15,551.00 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. Attachments: 1.
