BACKGROUND <br /> The State of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act <br /> applies a CRV tax on beverages to encourage recycling and litter reduction. A portion <br /> of that tax is available to cities and counties that want to partner with the State in <br /> maintaining its 80 percent recycling rate for all CRV beverage containers. <br /> Funds are calculated by CalRecycle with each city being eligible for a minimum of <br /> $5,000 or an amount based on a per capita basis, whichever is greater. <br /> Eligible activities include: <br /> • New or existing curbside recycling programs <br /> • Neighborhood drop-off recycling programs <br /> • Public education promoting recycling programs <br /> • Litter Prevention and clean up where the waste stream includes beverage <br /> containers that will be recycled. <br /> • Cooperative regional efforts among two or more cities or counties, or both <br /> • Other beverage container recycling programs <br /> • Supporting AB 341 Mandatory Commercial Recycling requirements <br /> o Infrastructure for businesses to recycle beverage containers <br /> o Support for new or existing beverage container recycling programs for <br /> mulit-family residential dwellings. <br /> o Public education and outreach that includes a beverage container <br /> recycling component. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> If funding is awarded, City staff will administer funds according to the eligible criteria <br /> allowed by the program and select activities that will best meet the City's Strategic <br /> Objective of Environmental Awareness. <br /> Submitt d by: Fiscal Review: Approve by: <br /> f /<1 <br /> Brian Dolan Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Assistant City Manager Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
