DISCUSSION:
Annually, the Department receives approximately $43,985 in grant funds from CalRecycle, through the Beverage Container & Litter Reduction Grant to promote beverage-recycling education.
In FY 2017-18, due to time constraints, approximately $11,000 in labor charges, from May 21, 2018 to June 17, 2018, were delayed and posted in error against the FY 2018-19 budget, instead of the FY 2017-18 budget. The labor charges are now expensed in FY 2018-19 and are impacting the Department’s ability to fully expend the $43,985 allocated to the program. If the funds are not expended by June 30, 2019, the Department will be required to return the monies to CalRecycle.
With your Board’s approval, the resolution will allow the Department to expend the full FY 2018-19 allocation.
