RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No.2010-_,authorizing the submittal of a used oil collection
program application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery,and authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute any agreements,
contracts,and requests for payment as necessary to implement the program,until
rescinded.
BACKGROUND
The City implemented its first curbside used oil recycling program during FY 94-95.
The curbside collection of oil filters was added in 1999.These activities were funded by
the Used Oil Block Grant Program funded annually by the Integrated Waste
Management Board (UCIWMB").On January 1,2010,the California Department of
Resources Recycling and Recovery (UCaIRecycle")replaced the CIWMB as the funding
agency for the block grants.Starting FY 10-11,the City will receive funds through the
Used Oil Collection Program,awarded by CalRecycle.
Currently,the City's residents are entitled to free curbside collection of used motor oil
and filters at curbside on their recycling day,which is on the first collection of each
week.Starting July 1,2010,EDCO,the City's new waste collection and recycling
company,will collect used oil and filters on their collection day,however,the resident
must call in advance and request such a collection.
To date,the used oil and filter recycling program has accomplished the following tasks:
•Established certified used oil collection centers within City limits.
R6876-0001\1235280v2.doc 7-1
•Provided NPDES,used oil,and environmental education booths at various events.
•Produced and distributed various public outreach materials including:refuse bill
inserts,leaky car postcards,calendars,promotional and educational item
giveaways.
•Organized and promoted school assemblies regarding recycling and stormwater
pollution prevention and used oil recycling.
•Stenciled various storm drain catch basins throughout the City.
•Contributed to Los Angeles County's regional used oil recycling media campaign.
•Implemented storm water mitigation programs,including installing catch basin
inserts,maintaining installed inserts,and organizing public education and outreach
efforts.
DISCUSSION
CalRecycle requires new resolutions authorizing the City to apply for grant funds
under the new Oil Payment Program ("OPP").This resolution is due June 30,2010.
This resolution ensures that the City will be able continue applying for and receiving
grant funds under the new program.
Previous resolutions were for a specific period of time,such as one year or couple
of years.As suggested by CalRecycle,to streamline the application process and to
improve efficiency,the attached resolution is "open ended"unless rescinded.
The grant application form will be completed online.A staff report and a resolution
will no longer be needed on an annual basis.However,staff will be able to continue
applying for the grant online because the same resolution will be in effect until
rescinded.
The City will continue its used oil and filter recycling program and its stormwater
pollution prevention outreach and activities where eligible.This will help offset
General Fund expenditures.In FY 10-11,the City expects an estimated funding of
$10,000 for the OPP.The precise amount has not yet been determined.
ALTERNATIVE
Instead of an "open ended"resolution,approve a resolution for a period of four (4)
years,FY 10-11 to FY 13-14.
FISCAL IMPACT
If authorized,the City will continue to receive annual funds of approximately $10,000
in FY 10-11 and FY 11-12 for the promotion and collection of used motor oil and
filters.Those funds will be deposited in the Waste Reduction Fund.No funding will
be received if not authorized.
