TOPIC: Resolution Regarding CalRecycle Grants
AGENDA TITLE
Resolution to Adopt and Approve Applications for Submission for all CalRecycle Grants
for a 5-Year Period
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the ability to apply, and authorizing submission, for all
CalRecycle Grants for a 5-year period.
DISCUSSION
To decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and
stockpiling of waste tires, the California Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery (CalRecycle) promotes the use of surfacing products derived from waste tires
generated in California. Through legislation, CalRecycle was authorized to assist public
and private entities in the safe and effective management of this waste stream by
providing funding opportunities.
To that end, CalRecycle offers a variety of grant programs including a Local Government
Waste Tire Cleanup Grant, Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant, Rubberized
Pavement Grant, Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant, Tire-Derived Product Grant, Tire
Incentive Program, and Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grants. Funding for
the grants is generated from a tire fee charged for each new tire sold in California, and
grant awards vary from program to program.
All applicants must submit a resolution to CalRecycle declaring certain authorizations
related to the administration of these grants. Staff recommends adopting the resolution
to allow the City of Santa Ana to apply for, and be eligible to receive, grant revenue
estimated to be upwards of $250,000 through Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time. If the recommended
action is not approved, the City will forfeit the opportunity to compete for CalRecycle
