YATES CITY MANAGER DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2013 SUBJECT: LOCAL GOVERNMENT TIRE GRANT PROGRAMS RECOMMENDATIONS Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2013- 1yallowing staff to apply for the regional tire related grant(s). BACKGROUND The City of Lake Elsinore experiences a large amount of illegal dumping throughout the calendar year. Tires are often dumped in rural areas to avoid detection and the collection of these tires is time consuming and proper disposal is expensive. Staff discovered and applied for a grant program that is used to pay for a central collection event for tire collection. For the past three years the City of Lake Elsinore has been awarded the Tire Amnesty Grant which finances the collection events. Depending on the grant award, the City holds between 4 and 5 events per year. The average amount collected per year is approximately 24.25 tons of tires. Only Lake Elsinore residents are allowed to participate in these collection events. DISCUSSION City staff is regularly seeking grant funding opportunities for projects that encourage the proper disposal of tires. City Staff is proposing to expand the tire collection program to include the adjacent Cities of Wildomar and Canyon Lake to make this a regional program. This effort will provide more opportunities for neighboring City residents to participate in the tire collection and reduce the impacts of illegal tire dumping in Lake Elsinore. In addition, as a City Program Lake Elsinore has received up to $24,000 from the grant. However, as a regional program we maximize our potential to receive up to $35,000 to sponsor additional collection events. The City of Lake Elsinore, as the lead regional agency, will continue to sponsor 4 to 5 collection events per year. The partner Cities will sponsor one AGENDA ITEM NO. 8 Page 1 of 6 RESOLUTION FOR TIRE GRANTS FEBRUARY 12, 2013 PAGE 2 FISCAL IMPACT The net cost of this program to the City is zero.
