FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
If the City's funding request is approved, it is anticipated that the
City will receive $8,389 to support the City's curbside recycling
program.
DESCRIPTION: SB 332, which took effect January 1~, 2000, mandated changes to the
existing law governing the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. The Bill included a
provision that requires the State to appropriate $10.5 million annually to cities and counties for beverage
container recycling and litter cleanup activities. Based on the funding request forms received by the City
from the Department of Conservation's Division of Recycling, the City of Dublin is eligible to receive
$8,389.
When submitting the Funding Request Form, the City is required to specify the beverage container
recycling and litter cleanup activities for which the funds will be expended. The information the City
received indicates that the funds may be used to support new or existing curbside recycling programs. In
Fiscal Year 1999/2000, the City expended $89,000 in Measure D funds to help subsidize the residential
recycling program. Staff recommends that the funds be used to help support the existing residential
recycling program.
Each eligible participant must submit, along with a Funding Request Form, a Resolution identifying the
individual authorized to submit the application and to receive and expend the funds. The attached
Resolution grants the City Manager this authorization.
