SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR COACHELLA VALLEY
ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATIONS
By minute motion, the City Council appropriate $4,320 from the Unobligated General Reserves Fund
for the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) Solid Waste & Recycling Program.
BACKGROUND
On January 27, 1997, the CVAG Executive Committee approved that CVAG jurisdictions provide
supplemental funding for the Solid Waste &Recycling Program. The supplemental funding is needed
because the Riverside County Board of Supervisors reduced the funding level by 50% ($68,250) for
fiscal year 1996/97, leaving the Technical Working Group unable to complete its adopted CVAG
work program for the year.
The members of the Solid Waste & Recycling Technical Working Group developed two supplemental
funding options:
1. Funding for two additional months; and
2. Funding for five additional months, which would complete the fiscal year.
REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR CVAG SOLID WASTE &
RECYCLING PROGRAM
FEBRUARY 27, 1997
Both options were presented to the Technical Advisory Committee and the Executive Committee.
Funding for two additional months was approved by the Executive Committee. The City of Palm
Desert is being requested to fund $4,320.
CVAG has provided two tables showing the proposed allocation for two additional months, and the
work which will be accomplished with the additional funding (attached are the two tables).

RE: REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING FOR CVAG SOLID WASTE &
RECYCLING PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Diaz:
On January 27, 1997,the Executive Committee approved an action to recommend that CVAG member
jurisdictions provide supplemental funding for the Solid Waste&Recycling Program. The supplemental
funding is needed because the Riverside County Board of Supervisors reduced the funding level for the
CVAG Solid Waste&Recycling Program by 50%($68,250)for Fiscal Year 1996-97,leaving the Solid
Waste&Recycling Technical Working Group(TWG)unable to complete its adopted CVAG Work Program
for the year. Available funding was essentially depleted by the end of January 1997. Due to savings in the
first half of the Fiscal Year,County funds sustained the Program for seven months.
Members of the Solid Waste&Recycling Technical Working Group developed two supplemental funding
options: 1. Funding for two additional months,and 2. Funding for five additional months,which would
complete the fiscal year. Both options were presented to the Technical Advisory Committee and the 4X 4
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee was supportive of requesting program fundin_for two ..
additional months. Under this scenario,the amount requested of Palm Desert is$4,320. Attached for your
information are two tables showing the proposed allocation for two additional months,and the work which
will be accomplished with the additional funding. Aries
G✓itI
It is important to resolve the issue of funding as soon as possible,since existing funding has been depleted. )
Please schedule this matter for your City Council as soon as possible. Your TWG representative,Lisa A n S
Constande, should be able to help with any questions you may have. G✓doi✓(o

COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION of GOVERNMENTS
January 30, 1997
TO: SOLID WASTE & RECYCLING TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP
FROM: DIANA BECK, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
RE: CANCELLATION OF FEBRUARY MEETING—LIST OF UPCOMING
ISSUES—SET NEW MEETING DATE
The regularly scheduled February 12 meeting of the Technical Working Group has been canceled.
The next meeting of the Solid Waste & Recycling TWG will be March 12, 1997. An agenda
will be sent in advance of the meeting.
Some of the topics which need to be discussed in March are as follows:
1. Status of AB 939 program funding. ( I am hopeful that I will have enough
budget left to hold a March meeting) The Executive Committee, on January 27,
approved the 2 month program funding option. A request will be sent to each City
Council and the Board of Supervisors in the next few days, asking that the funding
allocations be approved. You will be copied on the correspondence to your
jurisdiction.
2. Edom Hill Landfill EIR review and comments. The EIR is due out by the
end of January. There will be a 45 day review period.
3. Local Task Force structure. The TWG has discussed options for the LTF at
various times over the past two years. The City Managers have authorized the
TWG to look at this issue and make recommendations. WRCOG is looking into
the matter as well, and we may want to have a joint meeting with them to discuss
options. CVAG currently has one vacancy on the LTF, and will be considering an
appointment at the February Executive Committee meeting.
4. Telephone Book Recycling Program. Depending on funding available, we
can start the plan for the 1997 program.
5. Used Oil Recycling Grant Program. The seven participating cities need to
meet to determine how to expend the balance of the current grant funds. I suggest
we meet on this issue separately, following the TWG meeting.
