Funds are allocated to each successful applicant city based on population. The State approved the application from the City of Huntington Beach in July of 2004, and $54,657 has been received and deposited into the Refuse Education Fund. Due to a transition in staffing, the appropriation of these funds was inadvertently omitted from the budget. The grant stipulates that all money must be used for activities related to beverage container recycling, purchases of products made from recycled beverage containers, and recycling educational efforts as stated in the application. All funding must be encumbered by June 30, 2005 or returned to the State of California. Funds are designated for the following activities: Recycling Activity: collection and recycling of beverage containers and purchase of recycled beverage container products for use at large venues and public areas: • Purchase site furnishings and/or containers made from recycled beverage containers for parks, community centers and senior centers_ Signage would indicate that this product is an effort by the City to promote recycling. • Collection recycling program in public places • Beverage container litter cleanup projects in public places • Supplies such as recycling bins, liners and bags Educational Activity: education promoting beverage container recycling and/or litter prevention: • Develop educational materials that promote recycling and litter prevention for use at civic functions and schools • Personnel costs for grant administration and recycling coordination Public Works Commission Action: Not required.
