pL£AS, NTON <br /> o Staff Report <br /> <br /> May 17, 2005 <br /> Fire Department <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Resolution to authorize used oil recycling block grant application <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br /> The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act mandates the California <br /> Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to provide annual Block <br /> Grants to local govemments for establishing local collection programs that <br /> encourage recycling of used oil. Because the Block Grants are not <br /> competitive, local govemments need to submit a completed application and <br /> meet the program's eligibility requirements to receive a grant. <br /> <br /> The City of Pleasanton meets the eligibility requirements for the Eleventh <br /> Cycle Used Oil Recycling Block Grant application (three year cycle) for the <br /> years 2005-2008. The completed application, due June 1, 2005, must be <br /> accompanied by an authorizing resolution. <br /> <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City <br /> Manager to submit the Block Grant application to the CIWMB for a 2005- <br /> 2008, Eleventh Cycle Used Oil Block Grant to receive funds for the three year <br /> grant term. <br /> <br />SUMMARY: <br /> <br /> Used Oil grant funds allow the City to assist citizens in properly disposing of <br /> used oil and filters through activities such as establishment of collection <br /> facilities and public outreach and education. This significantly reduces <br /> contamination of the environment. The Eleventh cycle of funding will allow <br /> the continuation of our efforts. <br /> <br />SR 05:118 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
