DISCUSSION To decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) promotes the use of surfacing products derived from waste tires generated in California. Through legislation, CalRecycle was authorized to assist public and private entities in the safe and effective management of this waste stream by providing funding opportunities. To that end, CalRecycle offers a variety of grant programs including a Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant, Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant, Rubberized Pavement Grant, Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant, Tire-Derived Product Grant, Tire Incentive Program, and Local Government Waste Tire Enforcement Grants. Funding for the grants is generated from a tire fee charged for each new tire sold in California, and grant awards vary from program to program. All applicants must submit a resolution to CalRecycle declaring certain authorizations related to the administration of these grants. Staff recommends adopting the resolution to allow the City of Santa Ana to apply for, and be eligible to receive, grant revenue estimated to be upwards of $250,000 through Fiscal Year 2022-2023. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with the action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time.
