The Department of <br /> Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), formerly known as the California Integrated <br /> Waste Management Board, is responsible for administration of these grant programs. <br /> For the past 15 years the City has been awarded grant monies to establish and maintain certified <br /> collection centers in the community, a curbside collection program, and a used filter collection <br /> program. These programs have been successful and through them the City has collected in <br /> excess of 132,000 gallons of used oil and 36,000 used filters. <br /> To apply for grants, a resolution is needed approving the City's applications for State grant funds. <br /> The resolution will authorize grant applications through the year 2015, and will authorize the <br /> Executive Director of Public Works, or designee, to execute the necessary applications and <br /> associated agreement. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br /> 55A-1 <br /> <br />
