DISCUSSION The City began receiving Used Oil Recycling Block Grants when the program began in 1993. The grants are administered by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). The main purpose of this grant program is to provide funding to local governments to establish used motor 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. The main ways used motor oil is recycled are through Certified Used Oil Collection Centers and the 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. The exception is December when HHW drop offs occur only on the second Friday and the Saturday after it. A local business can also become a state - certified used oil collection center by applying to the CIWMB. The certified centers must accept, at no charge, a maximum of fifty -five (55) gallons of used lubricating oil from a person, per day. A certified center must offer a $0.04 per quart !tC S: \Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\4-26 -2006 (UOBG Cycle 12).doc 000008 4 -26 -2006 (UOBG Cycle 12) CC Meeting of April 26, 2006 Page 2 recycling incentive to walk -in clients. There are two certified collection centers in Moorpark: AutoZone, 455 W. Los Angeles Avenue; and Jiffy Lube, 797 W. Los Angeles Avenue. Staff intends to establish additional used motor oil collection centers. 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, and the money is available on a reimbursement basis for three years. 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.
