WASTE MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY TO APPLY FOR
BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING GRANT FUNDS
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the West Valley Solid Waste Management Authority to
apply for and administer funds pursuant to the Department of Conservation Beverage Container
Recycling the Litter Reduction Act.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last two fiscal years, the Department of Conservation has distributed funds to eligible
cities and counties for beverage container recycling and litter cleanup activities. The request for
funds and fund administration were handled by the West Valley Solid Waste Management
Authority. In Fiscal Year 2000/2001, the funds were used for public information program
promoting the recycling of beverage containers. In the current fiscal year, the funds are being
used to purchase recycling containers for multifamily dwellings.
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Conservation now requires that individual cities authorize the West Valley
Solid Waste Management Authority to submit funding requests and administer the funds. The
Town of Los Gatos' anticipated share in each of the next two fiscal years is $8,250.00. Staff of
the four cities comprising the Authority are currently discussing options for how the funds may
be spent including the option of completing the distribution of recycling containers to
multifamily dwellings.
