Resolution 2018-096, Supporting the Submittal of Applications for all CalRecycle Grants
for which the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is Eligible
SUBJECT:

RECOMMENDATION:
Resolution 2018-096, Supporting the Submittal of Applications for all CalRecycle Grants for which the City of Carmel-
by-the-Sea is eligible.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorize the California Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery (CalRecycle) to administer various grant programs in furtherance of the State’s efforts to reduce, recycle
and reuse solid waste generated in the state. CalRecycle grant application procedures require, among other things,
an applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle
grants.

On August 7, 2018, the City submitted a grant application for the CalRecycle Beverage Container Grant Program,
requesting $120,364 to expand recycling opportunities by providing up to 50 new dual recycling/trash containers
where trash-only containers are currently located. Areas where dual containers could be installed include: City parks,
libraries, City Hall, Sunset Center, Forest Theatre, Mission Trail Nature Preserve, and coastal access locations. Dual
containers will not only increase the City’s waste diversion rate, which will help us meet the State’s 75% diversion goal
by 2020, but also will increase trash capacity of public waste containers by using larger capacity containers than the
containers currently located in public areas. Adoption of this resolution is part of the grant application process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City is selected as grant recipient by CalRecycle, the grant will supplement the Public Works Department’s
Operating Budget 110-119-40-42105 by up to $120,364 to replace trash-only containers with dual trash-recycling
containers. This grant does not require a match from the City.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

None. The City has previously used CalRecycle Beverage Container City/County Payment Program funds
($5,000 per year) to purchase and install dual trash-recycling containers around the Del Mar parking lot.
