SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF GRANT APPLICATIONS
TO THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT
BOARD
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt Resolutions authorizing the submittal of grant applications to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board.
BACKGROUND
In 1989, the people of the State of California enacted Assembly Bill 1843 (W. Brown,
Chapter 974, Statutes of 1989), the Tire Recycling Act, appropriating funds to encourage
the reduction of landfill disposal and stockpiling of California waste tires. The
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is charged with
administering the funds on an annual basis through a competitive grants application
process. The CIWMB is awarding individual grants in two areas, the Waste Tire
Playground Cover Grant Program, and the Waste Tire Track and Other Recreational
Surfacing Grant Program. Grants in amounts of up to $25,000 will be awarded for the
Playground Cover Grant Program, and $10,000 for the Track and Other Recreational
Surfacing Grant Program. These programs provide funds for Cities to purchase
playground cover material and mulch that has been made out of recycled tires.
Staff is interested in submitting grant applications to the CIWMB. If the City is
successful in securing these grant funds, the grants will pay for playground cover
surfacing material for the future Oak Spring Canyon Park, and mulch for several City
parks.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Not approve Resolutions authorizing submittal of the grant applications
2. Other direction as determined by City Council.
