REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Sean Crumby, Director of Public Works
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-23 authorizing the submission of grant applications and ongoing
grant management for certain recycling, reuse, and recycled content product grants funded
by California Department of Resources, Recycling, and Recovery (CalRecycle)
Statement of Issue:
The California Department of Resources, Recycling, and Recovery (CalRecycle) periodically offers
funding to promote certain statewide waste reduction goals by providing grant opportunities to local
jurisdictions. CalRecycle requires the local jurisdiction to provide an authorizing resolution every five
years for new grant applications as well as for the management, reporting, and reimbursement
payments for existing grants. The City's previous resolution expired in October 2020. A new
resolution is required for existing grant management and for new applications.
Financial Impact:
Collection of existing grant funds will not be processed by CalRecycle until a new resolution is
approved. Currently, $22,939 of a $46,540 grant awarded for Household Hazardous Waste
Discretionary Grant #HD31-18-0050 has been expended for grant activities from account
125185001.69505 and is awaiting reimbursement.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-23, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Authorizing Submittal of Application(s) for All CalRecycle Grants for Which the City of Huntington
Beach Is Eligible."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Resolution No. 2021-23 and fund Household Hazardous Waste from current refuse
funds. This action would prevent staff from applying for additional CalRecycle grant funding.
Analysis:
On October 5, 2015, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-34, which authorized the City
Manager and designee(s) to apply for and manage grants from CalRecycle. Per the terms and

conditions set by CalRecycle, the City's resolution must be renewed every 5 years. CalRecycle grant
opportunities include competitive grants for the use of Tire Derived Products, Recycling, and
Household Hazardous Waste programs. Resolution No. 2015-34 expired on October 5, 2020.
In October 2018, CalRecycle awarded the City $46,540 for Household Hazardous Waste Grant
#HD31-18-0050 to provide special collection and exchange events for propane cylinders and marine
flares, and to promote the proper disposal of these items. To date, staff has spent $22,939 of this
grant. Resolution No. 2015-34 was the authorizing resolution for management and reimbursement of
this grant until it expired. To continue managing HD31-18-0050 and to reimburse $22,939 expended
to date, CalRecycle requires a current authorizing resolution.
The proposed Resolution No. 2021-23 identifies the City Manager or his designee as the officer
authorized to sign agreements, contracts, and requests for payment for new and existing grants for
the next five years. Most CalRecycle grants have a nexus to current Public Works programs, and
Public Works staff manages the Household Hazardous Waste grant. If this resolution is adopted,
staff anticipates that the Director of Public Works will be identified as a designee for these grants.
To continue the management and reimbursement of our existing Household Hazardous Waste grant,
and to authorize the City Manager or designee to apply for new CalRecycle grants when offered, staff
recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2021-23.
