Recommendation: Authorize the General Services Director to submit a grant application to the California Department of Conservation Recycling Division in the amount of $22,197. D1gC1iSSInN- Background: Pursuant to Section 14581(a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, the Department of Conservation's Division of Recycling is required to distribute a total of $10,500,000 to eligible cities and counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities during Fiscal Year 2004 -05. Beginning in 2000 and each year thereafter, the Department of Conservation (DOC) will provide the City with a Funding Request Form, which specifies the amount of funds the City is eligible to receive. Funding amounts for each jurisdiction are calculated by the DOC based on each jurisdiction's respective population. At this time, the City is eligible for $22,197 in the current grant cycle. • The available funds may be used only for programs with a primary emphasis on collection and recycling of beverage containers or litter abatement in public places or other related activities involving the recycling of beverage containers. To receive the Cou ncibDeptConservRotdoc DOC Grant Funding Request March 23, 2004 Page 2 . appropriated funds, the City must submit a completed Funding Request Form. The City is also required to adopt a resolution designating a City official to prepare and execute any necessary documents to implement the proposed activities. The attached Funding Request Form proposes to use the funds to pay labor and some supply costs for litter abatement in public areas. The abatement areas will include the Newport and Balboa Piers and Corona Del Mar Main Beach. Litter will be removed from these beach areas including the adjacent parking tots, sidewalks, grass areas, commercial districts and some City park locations during the summer months. The General Services Department will administer the program, which involves hiring temporary employees to work full -time shifts during the peak visitor period of Memorial Day through Labor Day. Workers will be scheduled to work weekday or weekend shifts. The available funding is sufficient to employ seven temporary part -time workers for a period of approximately twelve weeks. A resolution adopted by the Council in May 2000 that authorized the General Services Director to execute all forms necessary for the purposes of securing the grant payments will satisfy the current resolution requirements. .
