Council had previously approved the submittal of grant applications through Resolution 2005- 187 (attached). The Waste Board contacted City staff, requesting that the City adopt a modified resolution also authorizing the City to be the lead agency for the region. Staff has prepared a modified resolution responsive to the Waste Board's request. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Council approve the resolution authorizing and empowering the City Manager or designee to execute all grant documents necessary to secure Local Government Household Hazardous Waste 9-1 8/7/07, Item~ Page 2 of2 and Used Oil Grant funds and implement the approved grant projects on behalf of the City of Chula Vista, as the lead agency, and participating jurisidictions. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista is the lead agency in the South Bay Regional Household Hazardous Waste Program (SBRHHWP), which is a partnership between the cities of Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and National City. This partnership has been in place for over seven years and from time to time other jurisdictions (Coronado, south San Diego County and City) have joined the South Bay Regional Program based upon the projects being implemented. The Waste Board, per AB 1220 (Eastin), provides grants to local governments to establish and implement waste diversion and separation programs to prevent disposal of hazardous waste, including household hazardous waste, in solid waste landfills. In June 2007, the South Bay Regional Household Hazardous Waste Partnership applied for a three-year, $300,000 Local Government Household Hazardous Waste Grant. These funds will be used to improve collection/drop-off opportunities and increase awareness of proper disposal requirements for materials targeted by this year's grant program: electronics, batteries, fluorescent lamps and sharps/syringes from home application of medications such as insulin. The application contains the support letters from Imperial Beach and National City authorizing Chula Vista to act on their behalf. City Council had previously granted authority to the City Manager and/or designated staff to execute all grant documents necessary to secure local government household hazardous waste and used oil grants and implement the approve grant projects. However, the Waste Board recently contacted City staff, requesting that the City adopt a modified resolution additionally authorizing the City to be the lead agency. The modified resolution does not change how we have been operating but rather, meets the request of the Waste Board. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section l8704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the General Fund. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution 2005-187 Prepared by: Lynn France.
