IV. BACKGROUND
California Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorizes CalRecycle to administer various grants in furtherance of the State’s efforts to reduce, recycle, and reuse solid waste generated in the State; thereby, preserving landfill capacity and protecting public health and safety and the environment.
Beginning with the fiscal year 2015-16 funding cycle, all jurisdictions will be required to provide a Resolution no later than the funding request due date.
In order to process grant applications, CalRecycle has established procedures governing the application, award and management of the grants. The procedures require an applicant’s governing body to declare, by resolution, certain authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle grants.
Resolution No. 16-132 authorizes the submittal of applications to CalRecycle for all grants for which the City of Carson is eligible and authorizes the City Manager to execute all grant documents, including applications, agreements, amendments and requests for payment, as necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project.
The resolution also sets the time limit of these authorizations to the maximum allowable time set by CalRecycle, which is five years from the date of adoption of this resolution.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
