DATE: April 21, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Leonard Grossberg, Director - "
RE: Request for Authorization to Receive and Spend Grant Funding for the
Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Abatement Activities (City/County
Payment Program) FY 2014-2015
RECOMMENDATION:
A. It is recommended that the City Council find that approval of the request for authority to
receive and spend grant funds in this staff report are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general
rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a significant effect on the
environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity
in question may have such an effect on the environment.
B. In addition, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the request for authority to
receive and spend grant funds under the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter
Abatement Activities for FY2014-2015.
BACKGROUND:
Our department will submit an application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery (CalRecycle) for a grant to fund beverage container recycling and litter reduction activities
(City/County Payment Program). The grant monies will be utilized to promote and distribute
recycling and litter reduction information to businesses in the City and at the Vernon Elementary
School. Our department has applied for and received this grant funding for the past fourteen years.
Recently, CalRecycle 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 for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. Grant guidelines allow for the expenditure of these funds for
up to 24 months from the date of payment. Because litter is an ongoing problem in our city as well
as in neighboring communities, we are proposing to utilize the funds to develop and distribute public
information items as well as to purchase products to promote recycling. The public information
efforts would be similar to those used in the Used Oil Recycling Program that has been very
successful for the past several years.
I am attaching the completed application, which will be submitted electronically by the deadline of
June 23, 2015. Please note that a City Council resolution is no longer required by CalRecycle for
acceptance of a grant application, but we will include one anyway.
Upon CalRecycle approving and funding the grant, I propose to utilize the services of KJ Services
for implementing the grant activities. KJ Services has been our consultant on this grant for the past
14 years and continues to provide an excellent service.
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 recycling and litter/cleanup
education programs.
