TO: The Honorable City Council .
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst ?fp
DATE: April 13, 2004 (CC meeting of April 21, 2004)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Beverage
Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act Grant
Application for $9,582 to the California Department of
Conservation Division of Recycling
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider a resolution approving
the submittal of the City's application for a Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act Grant.
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 $9,582 for Fiscal Year 2004 -2005. Not all of the
money has 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.
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;
• Activities that have 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 various City beverage container
recycling projects and programs. These projects may include existing
City activities and services such as:
Events and activities -
• Recycling promotion and collection at City and community events
such as 3rd of July and Country Days.
• Coastal and Inland Waterways Clean Up Day, the third Saturday
in September (September 18, 2004).
Public information efforts -
• Citywide Newsletter
• School packet inserts
• Curbside recycling promotional videos for channel 10
• Residential Recycling Rewards program
• Multifamily Housing Recycling Guide
This is an annual grant from the State Department of Conservation
Division of Recycling.
