MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Dave Klotzle, City Engineer/Public Works Director Prepared by: Teri Davis, Senior Management Analysf�_�, DATE: December 26, 2012 (CC Meeting of 01/16/13) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the City's Participation in the Re- Designation of the Ventura County Recycling Market Development Zone BACKGROUND In 1990, the Governor and Legislature of California adopted SB 2310 (California Public Resource Code Section 42000, et seq.) authored by Senator Marian Bergeson (R-Newport Beach) establishing the California Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) program. The purpose of the program was to stimulate the recycling of waste materials generated in California. Under the program, local communities, separately or in partnership, apply for a designation as a RMDZ. Up to forty (40) zones may be approved throughout the State. The RMDZ is an economic and technical assistance program consisting of state-funded low interest loans, technical assistance, site selection and permitting assistance, and assistance with obtaining recycled materials for manufacturing. It is available primarily to businesses using recycled material to make new products. It is also available for"source reduction," such as assistance to companies facilitating reuse or altering manufacturing processes to use less material. Loans are made with State funds, and are available only to companies located in one (1) of the thirty-two (32) currently approved RMDZs in California. The interest rate is currently four percent (4%). That fixed rate is available for up to ten (10) years, in amounts of up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) per loan. In March of 1992, the cities of Camarillo, Oxnard, and Simi Valley joined the County of Ventura in forming the Ventura County RMDZ. One year later (in March 1993), all SAPublic Works\Everyone\Reporls\Staff Reports\2013\January\01-16-13(Ventura County Recycling Market Development Zone).doc 83 Honorable City Council January 16, 2013 Page 2 jurisdictions in the County of Ventura, including each of the ten (10) city councils and the Board of Supervisors, representing the unincorporated area, submitted a revised application for joint designation. In April 1993, the California Integrated Waste Management Board' established the Ventura County RMDZ. A list of the Ventura County RMDZ's major assistance to businesses in the County of Ventura is attached (Attachment B). Although most of these examples occurred outside the City of Moorpark, regional development of recycling-based businesses and promotion of recycled products creates markets for the city's recyclables and contributes to the local economy. On January 15, 2003, Council adopted Resolution No. 2003-2047 (Attachment C) authorizing the City's participation in the County of Ventura's submittal of an application to re-designate the Ventura County RMDZ. Pursuant to Title 14, Section 17901 Q) of the California Code of Regulations, RMDZs must be re-designated every ten (10) years. The current Ventura County RMDZ will expire in April 2013 unless it is re-designated by California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). DISCUSSION For the previous renewal process, in 2003, State staff issued a determination that California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance for the RMDZ renewal project required a negative declaration or full environmental impact report. Consequently, the County of Ventura completed the process for adoption of a Negative Declaration consistent with these requirements. Because renewal of the County of Ventura's designation as a RMDZ does not require or ensure any future facilities, no reviewing agencies nor any member of the public found any evidence to indicate zone renewal will result in any direct activities or measures that impact the environment or other services included in CEQA consideration. In the event that the County of Ventura's status as a RMDZ increases the likelihood that companies will be recruited to or expanded in the County of Ventura, those companies' facilities will be subject to permit processes and individual review as to location and impacts under local jurisdictions' regulations. Therefore,for the current renewal, the CalRecycle is allowing lead agencies to file a Notice of Exemption in order to meet CEQA requirements, and the County of Ventura has completed this process. Cities, considered responsible agencies, do not need to make separate CEQA findings as long as they adopt a resolution accepting the determination of the lead agency. 1 The California Waste Management Board was eliminated and replaced by the newly formed California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery,commonly referred to as CalRecycle,on January 1,2010.

SECTION 2.
