Home My WebLink About14 - Department of Conservation Grant Funding Request for RecyclingCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT City Council Agenda Item No. is April 8, 2003 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: General Services Department David E. Niederhaus, Director, 644 -3055, dniederhaus@.city.newport- beach.ca.us SUBJECT: Department of Conservation Grant Funding Request APPLICANT NAME: NIA RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Services Director to submit a Funding Request Form to the Department of Conservation Recycling Division in the amount of $20,445. DISCUSSION: 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 2003 -04. 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 $20,445 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 appropriated funds, the City must submit a completed Funding Request Form including a description of the recycling and /or litter reduction activities for which the funds will be expended. 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. Council- DeptConseNRpt Castaways Park Revegetation Project Update March 25, 2003 Page 2 The City has participated in the funding program for three successive years. Each year the funds have been used to implement a beach litter abatement program. Last year, a portion of the funds was also used to perform some litter abatement in City parks. A resolution adopted by the Council in May 2000 authorizing the General Services Director to execute all forms necessary for the purposes of securing the grant payments will satisfy the current resolution requirements. A new Funding Request Form for the new grant term is attached. 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 lots, 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 temporary workers for a period of approximately twelve weeks.

(Example: 1) By implementing beverage container recycling at all city parks, we hope to divert 10 percent more recyclable material from our landfill than last year.) Our goal is to implement litter abatement at City beaches and parks and collect 1,200 lbs. per week. Explain how effectiveness of the project/activities will be evaluated, including the data that will be collected and analyzed. (Example: We will track our volume monthly, by material type and measure our progress by comparing the totals to last year.) The pounds of waste collected in the grant litter abatement areas will be recorded. MRF recycling rates will be applied to the total waste collected to determine the beverage container recycling rate. 2000/2001 Evaluation: Briefly describe the measurable outcomes achieved after implementing funded activities in fiscal year 200012001. (Examples: 1) Change in volume of beverage containers recycled as measured by pre/post tonnage reports; 2) Change in beverage container recycling awareness as measured by pre/post consumer surveys.) An estimated 14,400 pounds of waste was collected through the litter abatement program. Based on MRF recovery rates for plastics and aluminum, a total of 2.97 tons were recycled through the grant funded litter abatement program in fiscal year 200012001. Did your city/county prohibit the siting of a supermarket site, cause a supermarket site to close its business and /or adopt a land use policy that restricts or prohibits the siting of a supermarket site within its jurisdiction since 11112000?
