City Council Report
City Council Meeting: October 24, 2006
Agenda Item: ~~
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Craig Perkins, Director - Environmental and Public Works Management
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing Application for Tire-Derived Grant
Funds
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. adopt the attached five-year resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply
for Tire-Derived Product Grant funds for Fiscal Years 2006-2007 to 2011-2012;
and,
2. upon grant award appropriate the grant funds approving the budget changes as
outlined in the BudgeUFinancial Impact section.
Executive Summary
The California lntegrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) receives an annual
appropriation from the California Tire Recycling Management Fund and administers the
Tire-Derived Product Grant Program. This grant program promotes alternative uses for
waste tires and decreases environmental impacts from unlawful tire disposal and
traditional stockpiling methods. The City seeks to apply for this grant to supplement the
sidewalk repair portion of the Annual Street Repair/Resurfacing Project. The maximum
award for this program in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is $100,000 per agency, with no local
1
match. The resolution would authorize application for these funds during each of the
next five years.
Discussion
The City of Santa Monica has incorporated recycled tire products in rubberized asphalt
used for the Annual Street Repair/Resurfacing Project for many years. Additionally, the
City has found rubberized sidewalk panels made of recycled tires to be durable and an
environmentally friendly alternative to tree root management and concrete sidewalk
removal and replacement around trees with aggressive root growth. If received, these
grant funds will be used to supplement other budgeted funds on the sidewalk repair
portion of the Annual Street Repair/Resurfacing Project. Staff will apply for funds during
each of the next five-years.
Budqet/Financial Impact
Upon grant award the following budget changes will be needed to record receipt of the
grant funds and make them available for program use:
1. establish a revenue budget in the amount of $100,000 at account number
20402.406180, and
2. appropriate $100,000 in capital improvement project account number
C200152.589000 (Street and Parking Lot Resurfacing). There is no budget or
financial impact associated with the proposed recommendation.
