c4OF01t CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 04, 2016 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PALM
SPRINGS TO APPLY FOR CALRECYCLE PAYMENT PROGRAMS
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Office of Sustainability
SUMMARY:
The action requested is to approve of a resolution that authorizes the City of Palm
Springs to apply to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
for payment programs, which is specifically required for reimbursements through the
beverage container grant program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES, RECYCLING, AND RECOVERY (CALRECYCLE)
APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT PROGRAMS AND RELATED AUTHORIZATIONS."
STAFF ANALYSIS:
In past years the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
offered each qualifying City and County an opportunity to apply for funding to be used
for the purchase or repair of items directly associated with beverage container
collection. The monies distributed by CalRecycle were derived from the California
Redemption Value (CRV) paid by patrons when purchasing beverages in containers
covered by State law.
In 1988, California enacted a program to place a deposit on beverage containers. The
current deposit is five cents per container for each smaller beverage container and ten
cents per container for each larger container. CalRecycle is responsible for this
program.
Each year in the past, CalRecycle provided funding from the deposit monies collected to
each qualifying jurisdiction on a per capita basis. The City of Palm Springs received in
excess of $12,000 dollars per year from this grant. The City used this money to
purchase beverage recycling containers used at special events and placed throughout
ITENr NO.

CalRecycle Resolution for Payment Programs
City facilities. The money has also been used for educational outreach programs in our
local schools and civic organizations.
Beginning this year, CalRecycle is asking each jurisdiction that applies for program
funds to pass a formal resolution authorizing the jurisdiction to apply for funding.
Although on September 2, 2015, the City Council previously adopted a resolution
generally authorizing the City to submit applications to CalReycle for various grant
applications, CalRecycle is now requesting that the City adopt this resolution specifically
for payment programs such as the beverage container grant program.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The requested City Council action Is not a "Project as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a "Project' means the
whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment. The requested action is to adopt a Resolution authorizing submittal of
applications to CalRecycle, and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15378(b), in
that a "Project' does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of
governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the Resolution allows the City to submit requests for payment programs,
and in particular recovery of costs associated with the beverage container grant, to
CalRecycle which will facilitate receiving approximately $12,000 annually or more.
