AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Participation in the Delta Landscape Management Outreach Partnership Program ($4,617)
MEETING DATE: May 17, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City to provide
matching funds for, and participate in, the Delta Landscape Management Outreach
Partnership program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: San Joaquin County has been successful in obtaining grant funds through the
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) Composting Unit to
establish a landscape management outreach program. The general purposes of
the program are to diminish green waste generation and disposal in local
wastesheds, assist local jurisdictions' efforts to comply with mandated diversion requirements, and promote the use
of recycled organic products in urban landscapes.
The CIWMB has offered $45,000 to the County with the requirement that San Joaquin County jurisdictions provide
$45,000 in matching funds. Based on the 1999 population figures, Lodi's share of the matching funds is $4,617.
The partnership will focus on developing, promoting and demonstrating the use of on-site landscape management
and organics procurement practices, green waste management policies and water/waste efficient landscapes.
San Joaquin County Solid Waste Division will be the lead agency. All jurisdictions within the County are planning to
participate. The partnership manager (San Joaquin County) will recruit and organize the Delta Landscape Outreach
Coordinating Committee. Public agencies with storm water management and water conservation programs will be
included in the outreach program as well as landscape management education organizations, private sector
residential and commercial property managers, and landscape industry professional and trade organizations.
The CIWMB selects regions to establish regional partnerships where local jurisdictions have the most to gain in
meeting their mandated diversion requirements. The Board's surveys have shown that the majority of green waste
coming from California urban landscapes is generated by the professional landscape industry. Even with the green
waste curbside collection program for homeowners, a significant volume of yard trimmings is still flowing into
landfills. This program will educate participants not only on ways to recycle and reuse green waste, but also on
using water -efficient landscaping. It will also promote the use of landscape trimmings on-site.
By participating in this program, the City will demonstrate its good -faith effort in reaching the 50% diversion goal.
It will also help educate those participating in this program about water conservation measures and the
requirements of the NDPES storm drain requirements that will effect all agencies within the next few years.
