FROM: LOUIE F. LACASELLA, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
DATE: APRIL 18, 2016
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2016-C29 AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL
OF APPLICATION FOR CALRECYCLE PAYMENT PROGRAMS AND RELATED
AUTHORIZATIONS
SUMMARY:
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), a division of the
California Natural Resources Agency, annually administers the City/County Payment Program to
provide funding to local government for establishing beverage container recycling and litter abetment
programs. The City/County Payment program assists municipalities in providing a variety of activities
including beverage container collection, litter, clean-up, advertising, and recycling education. This
action approves Resolution No. 2016-C29 authorizing the submittal of an application to CalRecycle for
the payment programs and related authorizations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2016-C29 authorizing submittal of application for CalRecycle
payment programs and related authorizations.
DISCUSSION:
The California Legislature passed a Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (AB2020)
in 1986 and disbursing California Refund Value (CRV) to recyclers in 1987. The goal of CalRecycle’s
Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program is to reach and maintain an 80% recycling
rate for all California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers. Projects and programs implemented by
cities and counties will assist in reaching and maintaining this goal. Incorporated cities and counties in
California, as identified by the California Department of Finance, are eligible to receive funding under
this program. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 14581 (a)(4)(C), these funds shall be used for
activities related to beverage container recycling or litter abatement.

The City has received funds from this program since 2001 and such funds have gone towards eligible
items such as maintenance of 20-yard roll off recycling bin, purchase of in-house recycling receptacles,
advertisement and public information campaigns and personnel expenditures. For program eligibility,
CalRecycle requires a City Council approved resolution to authorize the submittal of funding
applications through their programs. The resolution will allow the City to apply to any and all payment
programs offered by CalRecycle, including the Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment
Program, and would designate City staff to execute all documents necessary to implement and secure
payments.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City receives approximately $12,000 per year from CalRecycle through the Beverage Container
Recycling City/County Payment Program. The funds are budgeted each year for eligible items.
