HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 17, 2002 E-06AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Participation in Request for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Container Act Funding MEETING DATE: July 17, 2002 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a 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. It is estimated that Lodi's eligible funding amount may be as high as $16,622. 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 minimal staff time will be needed for these activities. FUNDING: None required. 44 Richard C.
