TO: City Council
FROM: Recycling Coordinator VIA Assistant City Manager
APPROVAL OF APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR A USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK GRANT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution endorsing the
City's application to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, in cooperation
with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), for a $13,746 Used Oil
Recycling Block Grant, so that CVAG may continue a targeted public education program
promoting used oil recycling.
SUMMARY:
The City of Palm Springs has been asked to, once again, join with the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) in applying to the California Integrated
Waste Management Board for a Used Oil Recycling Block Grant. The amount of our
Grant is $13,746. Added to the other participating cities' grant funds, the total amount
that CVAG would be able to work with is $83,225.
BACKGROUND:
In the past, we have pooled our monies with CVAG, but the programs suffered
from a lack of activity. However, last year we worked with CVAG and the program
worked very well. All monies were expended on new commercials featuring several
movie stars and new billboards, as well as some new public education features.
Since curbside used oil collection is offered to single-family homes by Palm
Springs Disposal Services, we will encourage the targeting of multi-family areas.
Due to the expansion of this program, our local ABOP site (Anti-freeze, Batteries,
Motor Oil and Paint) located at the end of Alejo, has noticed an increase in used oil being
brought to the site for disposal.
We request that City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to
approve and sign any subsequent yearly Used Oil Grant requests. Thus, we would not
have to return to City Council every year for approval of making application for these
grant funds.
