FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: February 7, 2003 (CC meeting of February 19, 2003)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 2003- , Authorizing Submittal
of a Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction
Act Grant Application to the California Department of
Conservation Division of Recycling.
SUMMARY
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.
DISCUSSION
The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act
(the bottle bill) was amended in 2000 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 $9,312 for fiscal Year 2003 -2004. The City
received $9,121 for Fiscal Year 2002 -2003 and $9,121 for Fiscal Year
2001 -2002. All of the money does not have to be spent in the Fiscal
Year for which the funds are awarded. Typically, the City deposits
the grant in its Solid Waste AB 939 Fund (Fund 5001) . A City must
complete a funding request form and adopt an appropriate authorizing
resolution to receive the funds.
