HARE City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council From: Carolyn Greene, Management Analyst DATE: January 16, 1991 SUBJECT: Grant Application for State Curbside Recycling Program City staff has prepared the attached application to the State Department of Conservation for partial funding of the proposed Moorpark curbside recycling program. Grants are awarded annually by the State for projects that increase recycling and litter abatement efforts in communities throughout California. Funding emphasis is on programs that recycle California redemption beverage containers. The City is requesting $12, 127 from the State for production and distribution costs of all promotional materials planned for the single-family residential phase of the program. These materials include initial information brochures in English and Spanish, posters for City businesses that will publicize the start of the curbside program, and promotional items. As follow-up publicity, door hangers and a semi-annual newsletter will be produced which will document program successes and inform residents of additional acceptable materials. Newsletters will be sent to all residences and businesses in the City. Grant guidelines indicate successful applicants will demonstrate as much matching support as possible, and this is indicated in the attachment on page 9. Proposals must be received by January 31 , 1991, and grant awards will be announced in late April, 1991. Since the City intends to implement a curbside program prior to announcement of the awards, preliminary brochures and related publicity will be prepared using City funds already allocated. If the City is successful in receiving State funding, these funds will be used to reimburse the City for these advance costs and for program expenses incurred after May, 1991. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Honorable City Council January 16, 1991 Page 2 Staff Recommendations 1 .

Attachment • N ---��_ - CHAMBER OF COMMERCE January 15, 1991 State of California Dept. of Conservation Division of Recycling,Program Development Branch Grant Program Section 1025 P Street, Roam 325 Sacramento, California 95814 RE: Curbside Recycling Grant Application - City of Moorpark Dear Grants Coordinator: On behalf of the Moorpark chamber of Commerce, please consider our support of the City of Moorpark' s grant application for partial funding of the proposed curbside recycling program. General interest is apparent in the Moorpark business community in source reduction and recycling issues. Several businesses have voluntarily established effective recycling programs. The January issue of "Moorpark Business" , the Chamber's monthly newsletter , contained an article titled "Reduce. . .Reuse. . .Recycle" offering businesses information on developing recycling programs. Local merchants have showed their support and willingness to help promote the city' s Christmas tree recycling program by displaying window posters. We hope you recognize the community-wide support of the proposed recycling and waste reduction program and will help our city further its efforts by approving their grant application. Sincerely, MOORPARK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE / CVAL-( \' I I//0/LtJ Carol Hunt Executive Director cc: Steve Kueny, City Manager Carolyn Greene, Management Analyst 530 MOORPARK AVENUE ♦ MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA 93021 • (805) 529-0322 • () ENVIRONMENTAL COALITION • MOORPARK BRANCH January 16, 1991 Division of Recycling, Program Development Branch Grant Program Section 1025 P Street, Room 325 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Sir or Madam: The Environmental Coalition, Moorpark Branch, would be strongly supportive of a curbside recycling program in our city. For the past year, our group has initiated a recycling program of our own. Because of our small size, we offer the community the chance to recycle at a single drop off site, once every three months. (We've had 3 events and are ready soon for our 4th). Items we collect are: aluminum cans, cardboard, all glass (not just CA redemption), clean tin cans, plastic bottles (CA redemption only), newspaper, and other mixed paper such as magazines. Although we steadily see an increase in participation at each event, we generally know that because of limited time and resources, we aren't getting the kind of response we could with our City's population. Curbside is the answer to better recycling results. People want the convenience to recycle directly from their home. We generally have between 6 and 10 volunteers who will work a 4-hour schedule. As you can see, our hours are limited, and this is a definite drawback, but we felt we had to do something. When curbside becomes a reality, we may still continue our small-scaled event. This is because, generally speaking, there are still recyclable items not being collected at curbside (i.e., tin cans) that we feel should be. The coalition has already indicated to our City Council our willingness to support and/or help start a program here. We sincerely hope that an effective plan begins here soon. We know what the consequences to our environment will be if we don't! Sincerely, Y 414(}1. • • r Mary Ho n-Wozniak 1 ohn E.

The success of the City of Moorpark's recycling program will Le determined by its organizanization and community wide participation which can only be obtained through effective communication. As a member of the Hispanic community in Moorpark whose family has had a long record (four generations worth) of commitment to community involvement, I feel that it is essential that participation from the Hispanic community be encouraged as well as included. In order to maximize community-wide participation, the City of Moorpark recognizes the importance in providing the translation of informational materials (such as flyers , and advertisement) into the Spanish language. I totally support and applaud the efforts of the City of Moorpark in seeking any available funding/revenue in order that they may accomplish this goal. As an elected school board member of the Moorpark School District, I offer my assistance, in the spirit-of cooperative effort, to include school participation in order that the City of Moorpark 's proposed curbside recycling program be a -community-wide success .
