SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing Submittal of a Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act Grant Application for $9,635
to the California Department of Conservation Division of
Recycling
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to consider approving the submittal of the City's application
for a Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act Grant.
DISCUSSION
The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (the bottle bill) was
amended in 2000 to provide funding to cities and counties. The funding source is the
California Redemption Value (CRV) premium that is paid when consumers purchase
beverages in glass bottles, cans, and plastic containers.
The funding is distributed on a per capita basis. Moorpark is entitled to receive $9,635 for
Fiscal Year 2006/07. Not all of the money has to be spent in the Fiscal Year for which the
funds are awarded. Typically, the City deposits the grant in its Solid Waste AB 939 Fund
(Fund 5001). A City must complete a funding request form to receive the money. Online
submittal of the Funding Request is all that the state requires; no City resolution is required.
Eligible activities for the expenditure of these grant funds are defined in the law as:
Support for new or existing curbside recycling programs;
Neighborhood drop -off recycling programs;
