RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF A GRANT
APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
AND CODISPOSAL SITE CLEANUP PROGRAM
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of the Solid Waste Disposal and
Codisposal Site Cleanup Program Grant (Program) to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB).
BACKGROUND
The CIWMB is offering reimbursement grants to abate illegal dumping within California. This
program makes funds available for waste removal and disposal, site grading, and health and
safety measures required for eligible project work. The program, as provided by Assembly
Bill 2136, authorizes the allocation of up to $100,000 for 2010. The maximum grant amount is
$100,000; and eligible projects must intend to abate threats to public health and safety and/or the
environment by cleaning up solid waste at illegal disposal sites within the public entity's
jurisdiction where there is no responsible party or where the responsible party is unable or
unwilling to perform the timely remediation. The City is requesting a total of $60,000 to offset
the costs associated with the River Rally events. The award date for the Solid Waste Disposal
and Codisposal Site Cleanup Program is February 2010.
Environmental Services Division submitted the grant application to the CIWMB requesting
funding to offset costs associated with the City's annual River Rally event. Due to the
uncertainty of available funding, the CIWMB allowed the Environmental Services Division to
submit a tentative grant application without the required Council approved resolution. If the City
�jx
Council chooses to adopt this resolution, the adopted resolution will be sent to the CIWMB to
complete the pending application. If the City is awarded the grant, the funds will be used over a
three-year period to offset the costs of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 River Rally events.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
None.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of grant funds applied for is $60,000. If the funds are awarded to the City by the
CIWMB, staff will create a revenue account and return to Council to appropriate the funds into
the Stormwater Utility Fund Account.
