2. 2003/04 Used Oil Recycling Block Grant Application
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, authorize the Assistant City Manager of Community Services to submit the
Used Oil Recycling Block Grant Application for FY 2003/04 (9th Cycle).
Executive Summary:
Through the City's franchise agreement with Waste Management of the Desert, the Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility was opened in March of 2002 for Palm Desert residents. The
City originally received a total of $220,732.02 in FY 2001/02 and 2002/03 from the California
Integrated Waste Management Board to open and operate the HHW facility. Other available
funding for this facility is the Used Oil Block Grant. Therefore, staff proposes to expend the
grant funds in the amount of$13,209.00 on the HHW facility operations.
Discussion:
The HHW facility accepts household hazardous waste and used oil from Palm Desert residents,
and is open every Saturday (except holidays) from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm. The facility usually
receives anywhere from 50 to 75 residents each Saturday. The number of residents utilizing the
facility continues to grow, and as a result existing funds will be depleted unless staff continues
to apply for grant funding where possible.
