CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
STAFF REPORT
HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT
DATE: April 18, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Keith Allen, Director of Health & Environmental Control 11
RE: A Resolution approving and authorizing the submittal of application(s) for all
CalRecycle grants for which the City of Vernon is eligible.
Recommendation:
A. Find that approval of the request for authority to receive and spend grant funds in this staff report
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines sections 15308 (actions taken to protect the environment), 15323 (normal operations
of public facilities) and 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that
may have an effect on the environment.
B. Adopt a resolution requesting approval and authority to receive and spend grant funds from
CalRecycle.
Background:
For the past several years, the Department of Health and Environmental Control has successfully
applied for and received funds for three different grants administered by the Department of
Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle): the Used Oil Payment Program Grant, the Local
Enforcement Agency Program Grant and the Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment
Program Grant. In its administration of these grants, CalRecycle requires an agency's governing
body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to the agency's application for program
funds. In addition, although our department will apply for each grant separately, only one resolution
is needed to cover all grants.
The Used Oil Payment Program Grant is awarded to agencies to help implement CalRecycle's used
oil programs. Historically, the City has received approximately $5,000 on a yearly basis for this
grant. Grant funds have been used to improve the public's awareness of used oil recycling
opportunities and the damage to the environment caused from releases of used oil. Funded activities
have included:
0 The purchase of educational materials (pamphlets, etc.).
• The distribution of free used oil -recycling containers to Vernon business employees and the
public.
• Stormwater mitigation activities.
• The services of a consultant to conduct educational outreach efforts.
Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Used Oil Payment Program Grant fund levels for Vernon are expected to be
the same as previous years (approximately $5,000).
The Local Enforcement Agency Program Grant (E4-28) is intended to provide enforcement
assistance grants to each Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) in order to improve the
capability of local agencies to inspect closed and active solid waste facilities. As the City of
Vernon's LEA, our department intends to use grant funds to procure equipment and supplies, obtain
the necessary training to help meet our state -mandated responsibilities as Vernon's LEA and use
remaining funds to partially off -set salary costs. All of these are permitted expenditures under grant
funding guidelines.
With one permitted solid waste facility and ten closed sites within our jurisdiction, our department as
the LEA is eligible for approximately $15,551 in Enforcement Agency Grant funds from CalRecycle
for Fiscal Year 2017/2018.
The Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program Grant helps fund beverage
container recycling and litter reduction activities. Grant funds will be utilized to promote and
distribute recycling and litter reduction information throughout the City of Vernon as well as to
purchase products to promote recycling.
Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program Grant fund
levels for Vernon are expected to be the same as previous years (approximately $5,000).
Fiscal Impact:
If approved, the City expects to receive approximately $25,551 in grant funds in total for all three
grants. There is a minor fiscal impact that is expected for administrative oversight of the grant
activities. However, considering the overall benefits the City will receive by use of the grant funds,
it is worthwhile for our department to pursue these grants.
