City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Veronica Petrosyan
Submitting Department: Health and Environmental Control Department
Meeting Date: November 1, 2022
SUBJECT
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Grants
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-36 authorizing the submittal of application(s) for all CalRecycle
Grant and Payment Programs for which the City of Vernon is eligible and repealing all
resolutions in conflict therewith, specifically Resolution No. 2017-56.
Background:
Public Resources Code Sections 48000 et seq., 14581, and 42023.1(g) authorize the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to administer various grant
and payment programs in furtherance of the State of California’s (state) efforts to reduce,
recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the state, thereby preserving landfill capacity and
protecting public health and safety and the environment. Over the past several years, the City
has successfully applied for and received funds for the following CalRecycle grants and
payment programs:
Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Local Assistance Grant - Provides one-time grant funding to
support the implementation and regulation requirements associated with SB 1383 such
as capacity planning, collection, edible food recovery, education and outreach,
enforcement and inspection, program evaluation/gap analysis, procurement
requirements, and record keeping.
Local Enforcement Agency Grant - Provides grant funds, based on population and solid
waste facilities, to local enforcement agencies (LEA) to assist in their solid waste
facilities permit and inspection program.
Used Oil Payment Program - Provides assistance to local governments to develop and
maintain used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling programs.
City County Beverage Container Recycling Payment Program - Provides funding to
eligible cities and counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities.
CalRecycle’s procedures for administering payment and grant programs require, among other
things, an applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to
the administration of the payment and grant program. On October 24, 2017, the City Council
adopted Resolution 2017-56 authorizing the submittal of application(s) to CalRecycle for
grants and payment programs for which the City is eligible. Although Resolution No. 2017-56
stipulates that the authorization is effective until repealed by the City Council, CalRecycle
limits resolution terms to five years. Therefore, a new resolution is required for the City to
continue to apply for CalRecycle grants and payment programs.
It should be noted that Resolution No. 2021-25 has authorized the Department of Health and
1
Environmental Control to receive and spend payment program funds from CalRecycle and to
delegate authority to the County of Los Angeles to apply for and receive funds for the Used Oil
Payment Program on behalf of the City. This authorization will continue to remain in effect until
repealed by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact:
Annually the City receives a total of approximately $25,000 in revenue to the General Fund.
The grant funds cover the costs for the LEA, Used Oil Payment Program, and City County
Beverage Container Recycling Payment Program. Additionally, in Fiscal Year 2021-22, the
City received a one-time SB 1383 grant funding of $20,029.
