SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a 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
In 1993 the City began receiving Used Oil Recycling Block Grants and began a Used Oil
recycling program. The grants are administered by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB) with the main goal to provide funding to local governments in
order to establish and maintain used 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.
Used motor oil is recycled through Certified Used Oil Collection Centers and the City 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 (except for December). Two certified centers
in Moorpark, Jiffy Lube and Autozone, accept a maximum of five (5) gallons of used oil per
person, per day free of charge. The certified centers must offer a $0.04 per quart recycling
incentive to walk -in clients. 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 14, and the money is available on a reimbursement basis for

three years (2008- 2011). 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.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the Used Oil Program is budgeted in Solid Waste and as funds are expended
staff reports to the California Integrated Waste Management Board and is reimbursed
periodically by the Grant.
