3 <br />THE CITY OF <br />~ : n ~.~ w <br />PL£ ~AS~4NTON® <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br />May 15, 2007 <br />Fire Department <br />TITLE: RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK <br />GRANT APPLICATION <br />SUMMARY <br />The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act mandates the California Integrated <br />Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to provide annual Block Grants to local <br />governments for establishing local collection programs that encourage recycling of used <br />oil. Because the Block Grants are not competitive, local governments need to submit a <br />completed application and meet the program's eligibility requirements to receive a grant. <br />Used Oil grant funds allow the City to assist citizens in properly disposing of used oil <br />and filters through activities such as establishment of collection facilities and public <br />outreach and education. This significantly reduces contamination of the environment. <br />The City of Pleasanton meets the eligibility requirements for the Thirteenth Cycle Used <br />Oil Recycling Block Grant application for the fiscal year 2007-2008. The completed <br />application, due June 1, 2007, must be accompanied by an authorizing resolution. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit the Block Grant application to <br />the CIWMB fora 2007-2008, Thirteenth Cycle Used Oil Block Grant to receive funds for <br />the fiscal year grant term. <br />FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br />No net fiscal impact to the City. <br />
