BACKGROUND The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act mandates the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to provide annual block grants to cities, counties, and Joint Powers Authorities in an effort to increase used oil and filter recycling. The CIWMB determines the amount of funds awarded on a per capita basis. This year the City of Santa Clarita is eligible for $70,548. The City seeks to apply for the grant to fund the collection of used oil and filters in the City's door-to-door household hazardous waste collection program. Through the program the City uses Curbside, Inc., for the door-to-door collection of household hazardous waste along with used oil and filters. Curbside collects the materials free of charge to the residents and charges the City $60 in grant funds per collection. As an in-kind service Curbside will also collect antifreeze, batteries, and paint while collecting the used oil and filters. Curbside charges the City an additional fee for oil-based paints and miscellaneous household hazardous wastes due to the increased difficulty of recycling or disposing of the materials. Historically, the City has received Used Oil Block Grant funds from the CIWMB since 1993. Through the CIWMB's program the City has received a total of $354,184 in Used Oil Grant funds. All Used Oil Grant funds have been used for funding the City's door-to-door used oil collection program. The CIWMB will provide 90% ($63,493) of the grant funds once the application has been approved and processed. Upon completion of the program and submittal of the final Used Oil Recycling Grant Report the CIWMB will submit the final 10% ($7,055) of the grant. �, �� .62-4 Agenda Item: ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the Council. FISCAL IMPACT The grant application requests an amount of $70,548, and does not require matching funds. Administration of the grant will not exceed the base budget funds. Funds will be appropriated if grant is awarded in the future. ATTACHMENTS Resolution JAF:HLM:BAL \\ CITYHALL2 \DEPT\PBS \ENVSRVCS\ SOLWAST2 \COUNCIL\ 2002\Used Oil Grant App Agenda.doc
