Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The City operates its Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (PHHWCF) at the Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station, located at 8491 Fruitridge Road, where residents may drop off household hazardous waste (e.g., antifreeze, batteries, bulbs, oil, and paint) at no charge. CalRecycle administers the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Discretionary Grant Program to provide funding to local jurisdictions to improve HHW collection facilities and enhance HHW collection programs. The Department of Public Works, Recycling and Solid Waste Division (RSW) sought this grant funding during Cycle 41 to fund the repair and resurfacing of the flooring in the PHHWCF building with chemical-resistant epoxy sealant. CalRecycle requires an applicant’s governing body to adopt a resolution authorizing the local jurisdiction to apply for the grant payment program.
On September 5, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution 2023-0281, authorizing the Department of Public Works on behalf of the City to apply for this grant in a not-to-exceed amount of $49,545. The submitted application was then completed by RSW on September 12, 2023. On February 5, 2024, CalRecycle awarded the grant to the City. Between April 7, 2024, and April 15, 2024, the PHHWCF floors were repaired and resurfaced by QuestMark Flooring.
During the grant request process on October 9, 2024, CalRecycle informed RSW that Resolution 2023-0281 needed to be renewed and extended due to the Resolution not specifying a period of time during which its authorizations are valid. Absent a time frame contained in the Resolution, CalRecycle deems any authorizations given by an applicant’s governing body to be valid only for one year. An amended Resolution specifying a period of valid authorization must be adopted to have the grant funding disbursed to the City. Staff is bringing forth this Amended Resolution to Resolution 2023-0281 to extend its authorizations through September 5, 2028.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: CalRecycle’s grant application procedures require the applicant’s governing body to adopt a resolution specifying a period of time authorizing submission of the application and payment of the grant, if awarded. Amending Resolution 2023-0281 is needed to specify that the resolution is valid through September 5, 2028, in order for CalRecycle to issue the final grant payment.
End
FinancialConsiderations

This amended Resolution will allow CalRecycle to issue a reimbursement payment to the City in an amount of $49,545 to the PHHWCF HD41 Resurfacing Floor Project (Y14000911, Other Capital Grants, Fund 3407).
