CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />For the Council Meeting of March 18, 1997 <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />Approval: Malik D. Freeman, City Manager 1 <br />From: Randy Anstine, Neighborhood Services Direc <br />Subject: Approve Resolution Authorizing Grant Application <br />through the Tire Recycling Grant Program <br />Date: March 11, 1997 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The State of California through the Integrated Waste Management Board, have made <br />available monies for the installation of rubberized playground cover. A condition of the <br />program is that a portion of the rubberized material must be made from recycled tires. <br />The intent of the program is to divert tires that would otherwise end up in a landfill. The <br />City presently has awarded a contract for rubberized cover at the Veteran's Park. In <br />addition, Council approved expending funds for the installation of play equipment and <br />rubberized cover at Chavez Park. The total approximate cost for both sites is $40,000. <br />The grant program will fund up to 50% of the total project costs. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />If approved, this grant would reimburse the City up to 50% of the actual construction cost <br />for installation of rubberized material at both Veteran's and Chavez Parks, but not to <br />exceed $25,000 total reimbursement. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />Reduction of used tires that would normally be disposed of in local landfills. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Approve adoption of the attached Resolution, authorizing staff to make application for <br />funds under the Tire Recycling Grant Program. <br />Item No. 17 <br />
