SUBJECT: Revenue Agreement with California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery for Waste Tire Enforcement Grant Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a revenue Agreement with the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery for 2022-23 Waste Tire Enforcement Grant funding, effective June 30, 2023 through September 30, 2024 ($300,000).

There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval will allow the Department of Public Health (Department) to receive non-competitive grant funds from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to continue inspection and enforcement activities related to the handling and disposing of waste tires in Fresno County.

If your Board does not approve the recommended action, the Department would discontinue the Waste Tire Enforcement Program, which would result in the inability to investigate illegal waste tire dumping and unpermitted waste tire haulers, including related enforcement and clean-up of illegal dump sites in coordination with CalRecycle and local law enforcement agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The 2022-23 Waste Tire Enforcement revenue agreement ($300,000) is consistent with the grant funding from the prior year. The grant performance period, which includes submitting claims for reimbursement, begins June 30, 2023 and ends June 29, 2024. The report preparation period is from June 30, 2024, through September 30, 2024 and only the costs incurred to prepare the final report and final payment request are eligible for reimbursement during the report preparation period. The grant allocation is non-competitive and does not require matching funds. ...
