SUBJECT
Title
ADOPT A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF AUTHORIZING APPLICATIONS AND AGREEMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE OF STATE FUNDING FOR ALL CALRECYCLE GRANTS FOR WHICH THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IS ELIGIBLE AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION AND AUTHORIZATIONS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The State Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is a department within the California Environmental Protection Agency. CalRecycle offers funding opportunities to assist public and private entities in the safe and effective management of various types of waste and recyclable materials. This is a request to adopt a Resolution authorizing applications for State funding from CalRecycle for recycling, cleanup, and resource management grant programs. CalRecycle requires each applying jurisdiction to submit resolutions from its governing body that allow for the application and administration of recycling, cleanup, and resource management grants.
The Department of Public Works' (DPW's) current Resolution and accompanying minute order that allow for application and administration of recycling, cleanup, and resource management grant programs is valid through Fiscal Year 2023-24; therefore, to be eligible for future rounds of funding, DPW must submit a new Resolution to CalRecycle that, at a minimum, covers Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 through FY 2028-29.
Previously, DPW received Board of Supervisors authority in five-year increments, most recently from FY 2019-20 through FY 2023-24. The Resolution in today's action follows that practice and expands it to include additional departments, providing authority for the Departments of General Services, Parks and Recreation, and Planning & Development Services to apply for and administer funding for recycling, cleanup, and resource management grant programs for FY 2024-25 through FY 2028-29.
