CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/17/2014 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-88 authorizing submittal of a Grant Application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Statement of Issue: A resolution of the City Council is necessary to submit a Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Grant application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). Financial Impact: The resolution will allow for the application of up to $250,000 in grant funding. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-88, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Authorizing Submittal of Applications for all CalRecycle Grants for which the City of Huntington Beach is Eligible." Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt the resolution and do not apply for.the grant. Analysis: The City of Huntington Beach City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-05 to create policies that are mindful of protecting the environment, develop new policies and practices that conserve natural resources, and minimize environmental impacts. In support of this policy, the proposed resolution authorizes the Director of Public Works to apply for and enter into agreements for grants that encourage the use of rubberized asphalt in City pavement projects. Using rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) provides an opportunity to reduce landfill waste and recycle tires. For example, a two-inch layer of RAC is used on typical street rehabilitation projects. The fiscal year 2014/15 budget provides funding for paving rehabilitation of approximately 2.75 miles of arterial streets or approximately nine lane -miles. It is estimated that about 2,000 waste tires are used per lane -mile which equates to 18,000 tires that could be recycled in the City's arterial highway rehabilitation program. The next RAC grant application will include projects for two fiscal cycles We submitted and obtained two RAC grants under the previous RAC Grant Resolution 2009-10 which expired on February 17, 2014. By adopting Resolution 2014-88 with the maximum five-year term, it would allow the City to submit a November 2014 application and another application when we are eligible again in 2018. Agencies are not eligible for RAC grants in consecutive fiscal years. Item 8. - I HB -242- Dept.
