AGENDA TITLE: Participation in Request for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Container Act
Funding
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing joint
participation and submittal of the Funding Request Form for funds from
the Department of Conservation under the California Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Department of Conservation has made funds available under
the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act to cities
and counties. Eligible activities for funding include programs that
have a primary emphasis on the collection and recycling of beverage
containers at large venues, public areas, residential communities or schools; public education promoting
beverage container recycling and/or litter prevention; and beverage container litter prevention and/or
abatement in public places, including community clean-up projects or other related activities involving
the recycling of beverage containers.
Activities that will be part of these programs include promotional items, such as brochures, magnets,
pens, key -chains, etc; advertising on TV and radio, signs/billboards, and development of web page ads;
school programs; litter abatement in public places and volunteer incentives. Two or more cities and/or
counties working together with one lead jurisdiction acting on behalf of the team may apply for these
funds. Most of the cities in San Joaquin County will participate with the County and the County will be
the lead agency. The activities that will be paid for under this grant can be used Countywide. The County
said that they would develop advertisements and other programs. Each agency will, however, be able to
acquire its own materials/supplies, i.e., recycling bins for public areas, based on the amount of the
agency's grant.
The minimum amount of each city's grant is $5,000. It is estimated that Lodi's eligible funding amount
may be as high as $16,632. There is no match of funds required for this grant. With the County
developing programs and advertisements that can be used Countywide, the money will go much farther
and no staff time will be needed for these activities.
FUNDING: None required.
