A� CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Application for Tire -Derived Product Grant from
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and Authorizing
City Manager to Execute Grant Agreements
MEETING DATE: September 19,2007
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving application for Tire -Derived Product
Grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board
(CIWMB) and authorizing the City Manager to execute grant
agreements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Tire -Derived Product Grant, if approved, will supplement the
City's efforts toward developing context -sensitive plans and will aid in
providing financial resources of up to a possible $100,000 to purchase
rubberized sidewalk products derived from tire product recycled in
California. The CIWMB is providing this grant to promote use of recycled products.
The context of this proposal is to utilize rubberized panels in place of concrete sidewalk at various locations
where root surgery would endanger the health of specimen City trees. The rubberized sidewalks are
reusable, as well as being porous and flexible, which are potentially better around tree roots. Utilizing
recycled tire products limits the amount of tires deposited in landfills, thereby benefiting the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT: By utilizing grant funds, the City will be able to make maintenance money go
further, allowing for more sidewalks to be replaced at a minimum cost to the
City.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The grant is a reimbursement for funds spent. The Streets & Drainage
Division will use funds from the operating account and reimburse the fund
when the rant money becomes available.
