MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jennifer Mellon, Senior Management Analys F
DATE: September 2, 2008 (CC meeting of September 17, 2008)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Household
Hazardous Waste Grant Application to the California Integrated
Waste Management Board
SUMMARY
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) administers a program to
provide opportunities for the collection and management of household hazardous waste
(HHW). As part of this program, the CIWMB issues grants to help local governments
establish or expand household hazardous waste collection programs. Grants are awarded
on a competitive basis and must be used to offer new programs or expand existing
programs; not for continuation of ongoing programs.
An application must be submitted to the CIWMB by September 22, 2008. A resolution
(Attachment A) approved by the City Council must be submitted to the CIWMB by October
6, 2008. The anticipated term of the grant is from November 2008 through April 2011. The
City applied for and received grant funds from the HD-15 cycle which expire in April 2009 for
universal waste (u-waste) disposal programs including battery collection, fluorescent tube
collection, and electronic waste disposal.
DISCUSSION
In the past, grant funds have been used to implement battery and fluorescent tube
collections as well as electronic waste collection events. Because new grant funds must be
used for new and/or expanded programs, staff proposes to expand existing programs to
include sharps (needle and lancet) disposal and additional u-waste public education
programs. As well as expanding current programs, the HHW Grant, Cycle 17, will focus on
projects and methods that provide for increased collection of household and small business
u-waste which include fluorescent lamps, cathode ray tubes, instruments that contain
mercury, batteries, sharps, and other electronic materials. Although the City of Moorpark
currently provides recycling options for the above mentioned u-waste, (through the monthly
Q� 3
Honorable City Council

HHW event or a-waste collection events) staff is proposing expanding u-waste programs to
provide convenient, in-city recycling options for u-waste. With implementation of expanded
and new programs, staff hopes not only to reduce the costs for collection of u-waste rather
than paying the expensive per-vehicle fee charged to the City for the HHW drop-off
programs that the City sponsors in cooperation with the cities of Camarillo and Simi Valley
but make it more convenient for our residents. Under the existing HHW program the per-
vehicle fee is applied to each vehicle disposing of only batteries and/or only fluorescent
lamps which is not a cost effective disposal solution.
The proposed programs are briefly detailed as follows:
• Establish additional drop-off centers for fluorescent lamps and household batteries at
businesses and schools in Moorpark.
• Conduct 3 electronic waste collection events per year in January, May, and September.
• Inform Moorpark Residents of Sharps disposal programs available for their use.
• Develop and implement additional outreach and advertising campaigns, specifically for
youth and Spanish speaking residents for above outlined programs.
A budget summary of the projects proposed in this grant application is as follows (amounts
include hard costs and staff costs for each task):
• Battery& Lamp Recycling Drop-off Program Expansion $ 21,911
• E-Waste Collection Program $ 6,456
• Sharps Disposal Programs $ 4,840
• Outreach/Advertising $ 20,308
• Administrative Costs 5,840
Total $ 59,355
The CIWMB may elect to partially fund some or all of these projects; therefore, the above
totals are subject to change.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will consist of in-kind staff time and printing costs to implement the grant
programs and is required to be identified on grant progress reports.
