THE CITY OF LIM I tit CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pL£ASANTONo June 2, 2009 Fire Department TITLE: RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION SUMMARY The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act mandates the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to provide annual Block Grants to local governments for establishing local collection programs that encourage recycling of used oil. Because the Block Grants are not competitive, local governments need to submit a completed application and meet the program's eligibility requirements to receive a grant. Used Oil grant funds allow the City to assist citizens in properly disposing of used oil and filters through activities such as establishment of collection facilities and public outreach and education. This significantly reduces contamination of the environment. The City of Pleasanton meets the eligibility requirements for the Fifteenth Cycle Used Oil Recycling Block Grant application for the fiscal year 2009 -2010. The completed application must be accompanied by an authorizing resolution. As of the date this staff report was prepared and submitted, the State had not yet released the application package and exact grant amount. We have enclosed the 14 cycle (2008 -2009) application for reference only. We anticipate that the grant amount will be similar to the amounts listed last year in the 1 4'h cycle. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit the Block Grant application to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for a 2009 -2010 Fifteenth Cycle Used Oil Block Grant. FINANCIAL STATEMENT No net fiscal impact to the City.
