MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
NV
Shaun Kroes, Community Services Technician (!�
DATE: April 8, 2005 (CC meeting of April 20, 2005)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Three Year
(2005 -2008) Used Oil Recycling Block Grant Application to
the California Integrated Waste Management Board
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider a resolution approving
the submittal of the City's annual application for a Used Oil Block
Grant to the state of California Integrated Waste Management Board.
DISCUSSION
The City began receiving Used Oil Recycling Block Grants when the
program began in 1993. The grants are administered by the California
Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). The main purpose of this
grant program is to provide funding to local governments to
establish used motor oil collection programs that encourage
recycling of used motor oil. Recently the state allowed Used Oil
Block Grant funds to be spent on certain federally- mandated National
Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) activities connected to illegal
disposal of motor oil.
The main ways used motor oil is recycled are through Certified Used
Oil Collection Centers and the monthly Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) collection events. Moorpark residents can attend HHW events
three times per month: on the second Friday; on the Saturday
following the second Friday; and on the third Saturday of the month.
The exception is December when HHW drop offs occur only on the
second Friday and the Saturday after it. A local business can also
become a state - certified used oil collection center by applying to
the CIWMB. The certified centers must accept, at no charge, a
maximum of fifty -five (55) 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. As of April 2005, two
Moorpark businesses: AutoZone, 455 W. Los Angeles Avenue; and Jiffy
Lube, 797 W. Los Angeles Avenue; have become certified collection
centers. It is staff's objective to work with these two new
collection centers to continue their operation. Staff also intends
to establish another local used motor oil collection center this
year. Grant funds may be used to purchase equipment for a certified
center such as holding tanks and tools to test for contamination.
The funding is distributed on a per capita basis. Moorpark is
entitled to receive approximately $9,000 in the upcoming cycle, and
the money is available on a reimbursement basis for three years. The
grant administrators at the CIWMB have the authority to determine if
grant funds can be used for a particular activity. Approved uses
include purchasing equipment, contaminated oil disposal, overhead
costs, staff time, public information, promotional items, and NPDES
activity related to preventing disposal of used motor oil into the
environment.
Historically the City has used the grant funds for a balanced mix of
all the approved expense categories. 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.
