Item to be presented b3t Jill Fosselman
DATE: November 27, 2001
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION FOR THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT BOARD REUSE ASSISTANCE GRANT FOR A
CONSTRUCTION WASTE REUSE PROGRAM AND LOCAL
MATERIALS EXCHANGE
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Building Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a Resolution for the California Integrated Waste Management Board
Reuse Assistance Grant for a Construction Waste Reuse Program and Local Materials
Exchange.
BACKGROUND
The City seeks to apply for a grant to implement a reuse program for part of the
construction and demolition waste stream. Staff estimates the tonnage of construction and
demolition waste in the year 2000 may have been as high as 32,000 tons. The proposed
grant program will facilitate a construction and demolition waste reuse program. This
program would consist of providing a storage facility for donated materials if they cannot be
stored elsewhere, providing a local exchange for the Santa Clarita Valley, and promoting
the exchanges. The main aspect of this proposed project is to facilitate reuse of construction
and demolition waste to the maximum extent practicable before the materials are
considered for recycling and/or disposal. The City would provide storage facility space to
builders who have run out of room on the construction site due to the progression of the
development. The materials exchange would be available on the City's web site, through
the City's Project Pollution Prevention Newsletter and at the Planning and Building Permit
Counters. If awarded, funding would be available between March 2002 — March 2004.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Do not adopt the Resolution and direct staff not to apply for the grant.
Other action as determined by the Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The grant application requests $25,000, with a $25,000 match required. The funding
source would be identified in the next fiscal year budgeting process, if awarded.
