The City of Palm Desert is eligible each year to receive funds from the Division of
Recycling by submitting the City/County Funding Request Form and approved
resolution. This year the City of Palm Desert will receive $12,009 for beverage
recycling and litter reduction programs. These funds can be utilized to implement
various recycling and litter reduction programs within the Palm Desert community.
Staff does not have plans, at this time, to use these funds for City purposes; therefore,
the funds are available for other approved programs. Mr. Kurt Leuschner, Assistant
Professor of Natural Resources at the College of the Desert, approached Management
Analyst Frankie Riddle last year regarding funding assistance and the City had applied
for the funds to assist C.O.D.; however, the Department of Conservation denied the
request noting that the City's Funding Request Form and documentation were not
received by the deadline. Staff has appealed the denial and is awaiting the decision
through the appeal process. If the appeal were approved, the City would be funding this
program for two years, FY 2001/02 and FY 2002/03).
Mr. Leuschner would like to implement the program as soon as he has sufficient funds
to start the program. He has also approached other cities and CVAG regarding funding
assistance for the program.

• Describe the goals or outcomes (versus outputs) to be achieved. (Examples: 1) Change in volume of beverage
containers recycled. 2) Change in beverage container recycling awareness.
To implement recycling and placement of recycling bins throughout the campus grounds, and increase recycling
awareness on campus as well as the overall importance of recycling. Collection of materials will be handled through
the maintenance department as it currently is for regular trash containers. Waste Management of the Desert will
collect recyclable materials through its weekly pickup service. The College is implementing its first recycling
program, which will automatically result in an increase in the volume of beverage containers recycled and tracking
the volume of recycled materials will be accomplished with the assistance of Waste Management.
Increasing student and public awareness will be handled through a public education-recycling program starting with
the art contest that is designed to promote recycling and to create the design of the custom cover for the recycle
containers. Other education awareness efforts will be articles placed in the school newspaper, fliers, bulletins, and
other campus media.
• Explain how the projected outcomes will be measured and measurement data collected.
As there is no program in effect at this time there is no base data to compare with. However, the intent of the
College is to implement the recycling program and by the end of the 2002-year have a 5% to 10% recycle rate.
Materials will be collected and bins serviced on a weekly basis by Waste Management of the Desert. Waste
Management is the City's contracted disposal company and through its services tracking of disposal increase(s)will
be monitored. Also, staff will survey students and staff every four months to determine increased awareness of the
campus recycling program and participation in program.
