DATE: March 23, 2000 (CC meeting of April 5, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 2000- If Authorizing
Submittal of a Three Year (2000/2003) Used Oil Recycling
Block Grant Application to the California Integrated
Waste Management Board.
SUboamy
The City Council is being asked to consider adoption of a resolution
approving the submittal of the City's application to the California
Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for an Used Oil Recycling
Block grant, and authorize the City Manager to execute any
agreements, contracts, and requests for payments.
BACKGROUND
The City has been receiving Used Oil Recycling Block Grants since
the program began in 1993. The main purpose of this grant program is
to provide funding to local governments to establish used oil
collection programs that encourage recycling or appropriate disposal
of used oil. To be eligible, a local used oil collection program
may include any activity(s) that the City believes will enhance
recycling or the appropriate disposal of used oil within their
jurisdiction.
The main ways used oil is recycled are through the monthly Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events on the first and third
Saturdays of each month, and at state - certified used oil collection
center. A business applies to the CIWMB to become a certified
collection center. The certified centers accept, at no charge, a
maximum of 20 gallons of used lubricating oil from a person, per
day. A certified center must offer a $0.04 per quart recycling

incentive to "walk -in" clients, or accept "donations" of used oil.
Reimbursement need not be given for oil changes done by the
certified center. On a quarterly basis, the certified center
invoices the CIWMB for the amount of incentive funding given to the
public to receive reimbursement. The certification program also
includes subsidies from the CIWMB to dispose of contaminated oil -
up to $5,000 in disposal costs for one shipment per year.
Staff contacted all Moorpark auto repair businesses to solicit
interest in the certification process for used oil collection.
Currently one local business, Kwik Kar Lube & Tune, 797 Los Angles
Avenue, is operating as certified Used Oil Collection Center. A
second business, Auto Zone, 455 W. Los Angeles Avenue, has received
certification but has not yet begun accepting used oil from the
public. Two other Moorpark businesses formerly participated in the
program but they have cancelled their certifications with the state.
Grant funding will be based on a per capita basis. For the first
year of the grant, the City will be eligible for $9,548 plus an
additional $740 to promote recycling used oil filters. It is the
City's discretion to use the grant funds as deemed appropriate. The
funds could be used to purchase equipment, contaminated oil
disposal, overhead costs, staff time, public information, and
promotional items.
Historically the City has used the grants funds for a balanced mix
all the expense categories. Many public information activities and
promotional item procurements are accomplished regionally by pooling
grants funds with the other jurisdictions in the county. The grant
application must contain an approved resolution from each City's
governing body authorizing submittal of the application and identify
the individual authorized to executive any agreements, contracts,
and requests for payments.
