SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION 95- �1- /APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF
THE USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION, AND
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AGREEMENTS
AND REQUESTS FOR PAYMENTS.
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider adoption of a resolution approving the submittal of
the City's application to the California Integrated Waste Management Board ( CIWMB) for the
used oil recycling block grant, and authorize the City Manager to execute any agreements,
contracts, and requests for payments.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the grant program is to provide funding to local governments to establish used oil
collection programs that encourage recycling or the appropriate disposal of used oil. To be
eligible for grant funding, at least one certified used oil collection center must be operating in the
jurisdiction. Funding in the amount of $0.31 per resident or $8,540 is currently available.
As you are aware, Moorpark received its first used oil recycling block grant in January 1994, in
the amount of $17,624. That funding allocation covered an eighteen (18) month period, expiring
June 30, 1995. The City was awarded a second used oil recycling block grant, in the amount of
$8,525.10, for the cycle beginning July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996. The next grant cycle
begins July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997.
Easy Oil is the certified used oil collection center servicing Moorpark. Since September 1994,
Easy Oil has accepted oil from the public and offers the recycling incentive fee of $0.04 per quart
or $0.16 per gallon. On a quarterly basis, the certified center invoices the CIWMB for all oil
recycled and receives reimbursement based on the $0.16 per gallon recycling incentive The
certification program also includes subsidies from the CIWMB to dispose of contaminated oil -
up to $5,000 in disposal costs for one shipment per year.
Use of the previous grant funds included the purchasing of oil containment and testing equipment
for the certified used oil collection center, promotional materials (pogs, ads, Used Oil Collection
Center signs, oil containers, newspaper advertisements, and brochures), used oil recycling costs
at the Resource Conservation Center (RCC), and staff (Solid Waste Coordinator and Management

used to further promote the "Oil and Water Don't Mix" campaign and other City recycling
programs. Such items include refuse /recycling truck signs, city -wide mailings, pre -show on-
screen advertisements at the new Moorpark movie theater, and motor oil container distribution.
All information will be distributed in English and Spanish. Additionally, the current grant funds
will be used to cover staff costs and used oil recycling participation costs at the RCC.
The proposed 1996/97 grant application will provide for a continuation of the programs stated
above, including staff costs and RCC participation costs, and will further promote oil recycling
using cable, print, and radio media.
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. Section two (2) of the resolution states that the
City will have sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project. Because some cities have
municipal service centers that are designated as certified used oil collection centers or others may
operate curbside used oil collection programs, cities must guarantee that they have sufficient funds
to operate and maintain the used oil collection program. For Moorpark, no additional City
funding will be designated towards this program. The grant will cover all costs associated with
the promotion and administration of the used oil collection program.
The grant application for the 1996/97 cycle is due to the CIWMB by November 30, 1995.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution 95- approving the submittal of the used oil recycling block
grant application; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute any agreements and requests for payments.
