Through legislation, CalRecycle was authorized to assist public <br />and private entities in the safe and effective management of this waste stream by <br />providing funding opportunities. <br />To that end, CalRecycle offers a variety of grant programs including a Local Government <br />Waste Tire Cleanup Grant, Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant, Rubberized <br />Pavement Grant, Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant, Tire-Derived Product Grant, Tire <br />Incentive Program, and Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grants. Funding for <br />the grants is generated from a tire fee charged for each new tire sold in California, and <br />grant awards vary from program to program. <br />All applicants must submit a resolution to CalRecycle declaring certain authorizations <br />related to the administration of these grants. Staff recommends adopting the resolution <br />to allow the City of Santa Ana to apply for, and be eligible to receive, grant revenue <br />estimated to be upwards of $250,000 through Fiscal Year 2022-2023. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with the action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time. If the recommended <br />action is not approved, the City will forfeit the opportunity to compete for CalRecycle
