AGENDA REPORT:
The Honorable City Council
John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
May 5, 2000 (CC meeting of May 17, 2000)
Consider Resolution No. 2000- , Authorizing Submittal
of a Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction
Act Grant Application to the California Department of
Conservation Division of Recycling.
The City Council is being asked to consider adoption of a resolution
approving the submittal of the City's application to the California
Department of Conservation Division of Recycling for a Beverage
Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act Grant, and to
authorize the City Manager to execute any agreements, contracts, and
requests for payments.
BACKGROUND
The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act
(the bottle bill) was amended last year to provide funding to cities
and counties. The funding source is the California Redemption Value
(CRV) premium that is paid when consumers purchase beverages in
glass bottles, cans and plastic containers.
The funding is distributed on a per capita basis. Moorpark is
entitled to receive $8,652 for Fiscal Year 2000 -2001. A City must
complete a funding request form and adopt an appropriate authorizing
resolution to receive the funds.
Eligible activities for the expenditure of these grant funds are
defined in the law as:

• Activities that have a primary emphasis on the collection and
recycling of beverage containers at large venues, public areas,
residential communities or schools;
• Activities that have a primary emphasis on public education
promoting beverage container recycling and /or litter prevention
• Activity that has a primary emphasis on beverage container
litter prevention and /or abatement in public places including
community clean -up projects or other related activities
involving the recycling of beverage containers.
These funds may not be used for activities unrelated to beverage
container recycling or litter reduction. It is staff's
recommendation that the City Council adopt the resolution and that
the money be used to support the many beverage container recycling
projects and programs the City participates in. These projects
include:
Events and activities
• Recycling promotion and collection at Country Days (September
30, 2000)
• Coastal and Inland Waterways Clean Up Day, the third Saturday
in September (September 17, 2000)
Public information efforts -
• Citywide Newsletter
• School packet insert
• Curbside recycling promotional videos for channel 10
• Residential Recycling Rewards program
• Placement of Recycling containers in parks
• Multifamily Housing Recycling Guide
This is the first year of what is expected to be an annual grant
possibility from the State Department of Conservation Division of
Recycling.
