BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Beverage Container Recycling Program provides the City with grant opportunities to establish beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities. The goal of the program is to reach and maintain an 80 -percent recycling rate for all California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers. Projects and/or activities implemented by the City assist the State in reaching and maintaining this goal. Past projects using this source of funding included the purchase and installation of recycling receptacles in the downtown area and at various bus stop locations. In February 2016, Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) recommended several changes to the Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program. Some of the changes are a result of findings in a California State Auditor report completed in 2010 and 2014 on the Beverage Container Recycling Program while others allow for increased fiscal accountability and alignment of CalRecycle's other payment programs. One of the changes is the submittal of an approved resolution authorizing the submittal of applications and the signature authority to execute all documents necessary to implement and secure payment. The resolution will be effective until rescinded by the City. FISCAL IMPACT: Failure to adopt the resolution may result in funding not being approved. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
