RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR STATE GRANT FUNDS
SUBdECT: AND AUTHORIZING THE USE OF THE ORICOM GROUP FOR ONGOING
MANAGEMENT OF A USED OIL COLLECTION PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 95-113 approving an application for State grant funds in the amount of
$19,375 to maintain and manage a used oil recycling program.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. All fees for program development and
management payable under this agreement will be paid from grant monies received.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On April 4, 1994, and February 6, 1995 the City Council approved applications to the California
Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) for the. California Used Oil Recycling Block
Grant Program. At this time the City may again apply for additional grant funds to continue the
operation of the current program.
The California Recycling Enhancement Act of 1991 establishes and provides grant funding for
programs that increase the proper collection and recycling of used oil. The purpose of this State
grant program is to provide funding to local governments for establishing and maintaining used
oil collection programs and locally based used oil collection centers. This program will remain
available through the year 2000. The grant will also support continued public education efforts
which will focus on decreasing illegal dumping of used oil into landfills, storm drains and sewer
systems and encourage the utilization of the City's new curbside used oil collection program.
All programs will help with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and AB
939 compliance.
Funding is allocated on a per capita basis. At .31 cents per capita, the City is currently eligible
for approximately $19,375. If the City is successful in obtaining funding-for this grant cycle,
the number of local collection centers for used oil will be maintained at the current level (three)
and possibly increased if willing businesses can be recruited. Without continued funding, the
City would have to decide to either discontinue support for the program or continue the program
by using City. funds and staff.
For the Used Oil Block Grant application, staff believes that the use of a contract firm to
perform day-to-day management of the program and provide professional and technical support
to the businesses which have become involved in various aspects of this program is crucial to
program success. Staff recommends the continued use of the services of The ORICOM Group
because they are uniquely qualified to continue operation and management of this program.
ORICOM works with approximately fifty (50) cities and counties in the State of California and
has successfully submitted several prior .applications on the City's behalf during the previous
'grant cycles. They are also managing a CIWMB opportunity grant program through the City
of Garden Grove which recently began providing curbside oil recycling to the residents of
Tustin, Orange and Garden Grove. They have a proven track record of success in developing
and implementing various oil recycling programs and continue to seek out new and inovative
methods of oil and hazardous material recycling and disposal.
Development and submittal of the grant application will be cOmpleted at no cost to the City.
If the application is succes'sful, ORICOM will continue to be responsible for operating and
managing the City's used oil program, and all program costs'will be paid from grant funds, as
has been done in the past.
To proceed with the development of the grant application, a resolution approving an application
for State grant monies and authorizing the use of The ORICOM Group for program management
is required.
