Discussion
In September 2009, the Governor signed SB546 (Lowenthal) making significant changes to the California
Oil Recycling Enhancement Act. As part of these changes, the California Integrated Waste Management
Board was dissolved and the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
was created. CalRecycle has since separated programs and guidelines related to individual solid waste
and recycling programs. As a result, a new resolution separating the Used Oil Payment Program from the
Household Hazardous Waste Program and other diversion programs was required. In addition, staff was
able to complete the application just prior to the deadline of April 15, 2011; however, this did not allow
staff adequate time to submit to City Council prior to submittal. I I I I I I
Therefore, staff requests that Council ratify staff's submittal of the Household
Cycle (FY 2010/2011) Grant, approval of the resolution, and expenditure of funds.
