The California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) has developed the used oil grant and loan programs mandated by law. This block grant has supplemental provisions that would allow the WRCOG region to apply for this grant and utilize the funds to support regional public education programs and the certification of three used oil collection centers. DISCUSSION The Used Oil Grant Program is a Block Grant Program which has allocated maximum grant amounts for all jurisdictions in the State that wish to apply for the funds. Unfortunately, the amounts allocated to most cities do not justify the work involved to secure the funds and would not support a meaningful program. The maximum grant amounts available through the allocation for all participating jurisdictions in WRCOG are as follows: City of Banning $ 7,448.02 City of Beaumont $ 3,311.99 City of Calimesa $ 2,313.64 City of Canyon Lake $ 3,327.84 City of Lake Elsinore $ 7,210.32 City of Moreno Valley $42,374.49 City of Murrieta $ 8,081.90 City of Norco $ 7,701.57 City of San Jacinto $ 7,051.89 City of Temecula $10.760.02 $99,581.68 Since the program allows for a regional application, WRCOG staff has requested that each of the 10 WRCOG Cities recognize WRCOG as the jurisdiction to apply for and administer a regional grant. The regional grant would entitle WRCOG to the total grant amounts allocated for the ten participating cities, and would centralize all administrative costs and functions associated with carrying out the grant programs. The funds can only be used in relation to the proper disposal of used oil, and the total grant amount would allow WRCOG to carry out a significant public education campaign on this topic. The work being proposed for this program is consistent with the overall work plan for the WRCOG Solid Waste AB 939 Program. FISCAL IMPACT None.
