DISCUSSION The County of Orange has allocated $1,000,000 countywide to promote local and regional waste diversion and recycling efforts. Santa Ana's allocation is $40,000. Applications are due at the end of the month and staff is recommending that the money be utilized to provide curbside pickup of universal waste. Universal waste includes household batteries, florescent lamps, items containing mercury, electrical and electronic devices. This waste is prohibited from being disposed of in landfills. To encourage proper disposal of these items, a curbside collection program will be made available for two weeks, twice during the year or more frequently until the grant funds are expended. Residents will be notified of the pick up dates and will be directed to call and make an appointment. It is anticipated that residents will gather their old products and properly dispose of their universal waste if this convenient method is offered. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT This collection program is expected to increase the proper disposal of universal waste, this reducing the disposal of waste in the County landfills. 55A-1 Resolution Supporting Application For Recycling Grant January 7, 2008 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. ~~ James Ross Executive Director Public Works Agency 55A-2 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PUBLIC WORKS AGENCY TO SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE COUNTY OF ORANGE FOR THE REGIONAL RECYCLING AND WASTE DIVERSION GRANT PROGRAM Iss12/17/07 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
