RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution to encourage the procurement of recycled products.
DISCUSSION
Beginning in 2006, various state grants are requiring that local agencies
adopt policies that encourage the purchase of recycled products as a
condition of application consideration. For over 12 years, the City has
applied for such grants to initiate the Used Oil Recycling Program,
household hazardous waste collection, bottle and can recycling, as well as
other recycling programs. In addition, the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Agency has received several grants to fund various
capital proj ects including a Park Playground Accessibility and Recycling
Grant for rubber surfacing of the playground area at Heritage Park and
construction of the new playground at the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park.
Proposition 40, the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood
Parks and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 grant funds, were obtained for the
installation of the new synthetic turf soccer field at the Dan Young Soccer
Complex at Centennial Park.
Currently, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency is applying
for the California Integrated Waste Management Tire Derived Product Grant
Program (TDP) for playground renovations at Sandpointe and Santa Anita
parks. The resolution will not only meet the requirement for grant
applications, but will formalize the practice of purchasing recycled
content products and will promote a sustainable business practice citywide.
