RECOMMENDED ACTION- That the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the Community
Development Director to submit a grant application in the amount of
$20,000 to the State Integrated Waste Management Board for the Waste
Tire Public Education and Amnesty Day Event Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB)
administers a Tire Grant Program to divert waste tires for landfill
disposal and to prevent illegal dumping, educate the public on
proper tire maintenance and disposal and promote markets for
recycled -content waste tire products.
The purpose of the Local Government Public Education and Amnesty Day Grant Program is to decrease
the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal of used and waste tires, This grant is
specifically for the removal or collection of waste tires and for public education on waste tire disposal.
CJWM6 allows individual jurisdictions to apply for up to $20,000.
Each year, the City of Lodi participates in the Great American Clean-up Campaign through Keep
America Beautiful and the State affiliate, Keep California Beautiful. These annual campaigns bring a
multitude of organizations and agencies together to promote conservation, recycling and community
beautification. These grant funds would allow that campaign to expand to address the increasing blight
that dumped waste tires have on our community and provide Amnesty Day events over the next three
years to give residents a reasonable alternative for disposal of waste tires.
The Community Improvement Division, along with the Public Works Department, and Central Valley
Waste Disposal, are putting together a proposal to be submitted with this grant application which
includes billboard, newspaper and radio advertising, public service announcements, multi-lingual
pamphlets and other educational outreach materials targeted to our Hispanic and Middle Eastern
residents, as weli as annual Waste Tire Collection Days over the next three years.
