SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider a letter of support

competitive "opportunity" grants every two years. The emphasis of
this grant cycle is two -fold: reaching out to under - served non -
English speaking people, and increased used oil recycling in
agricultural operations. The grant will also include two mobile oil
collection events in Moorpark. These are one -day drop -offs. Another
notable aspect of the grant is the media outreach. Used oil ads that
will appear on local and cable television stations, and newspapers.
Historically the City has participated in the regional grant
programs, Many public information activities and promotional item
procurements are accomplished regionally.
