SUBJECT: 4.11(e) Adopt Resolution Authorizing Submission of Applications for all
California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Grants for Five
Years
Recommendation
Approve and adopt the following:
(1) Adopt Resolution authorizing the submission of all California Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery grant application(s) for which the City of Redding is eligible for
a five-year period from December 3, 2024 through December 3, 2029. This authorization
includes applying for the Beverage Container Quality Infrastructure Grant program in the
amount of $4,091,013 to upgrade and replace various sorting equipment in the City of
Redding's Material Recovery Facility on Abernathy Lane; and
(2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all grant documents necessary to
complete the application process.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in approving the resolution. If the City of Redding (City) submits a
successful application for the Beverage Container Quality Infrastructure Grant (BCQIG)
Program it would receive a $4,091,013 allocation from California Department of Resources
Recyeling and Recovery (CalRecycle) with no required matching funds. This resolution allows
the submission of subsequent grant applications through December 3, 2029.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could decline to authorize the resolution for grants to CalRecycle
which would result in the City not applying or receiving any funding through the BCQIG
Program. Further, a grant specific Council resolution would be required for each CalRecycle
grant opportunity going forward.

Re: 4.12(e)Authorize CalRecycle Resolution Page 2
Background/Analysis
Each year, CalRecycle presents several opportunities to apply for grants. CalRecycle has
developed a process for jurisdictions to streamline the submittals of grant applications whereby
the governing body of the jurisdiction may pass a multi-year grant application resolution. The
City previously adopted a multi-year Resolution, No. 2016-107, on December 14, 2016, and N�o.
2022-001, on January 18, 2022. The prior resolution expires during the grant term of the BCQIG
Program, requiring a new resolution to be approved in order to complete the application process.
Pursuant to the City's Grant Administration Policy Directives and Procedures Manual (Grant
Administration Policy), all grant applications over $50,000 require Council approval. If the grant
is awarded and the sum is over $25,000, staff wi11 obtain Council approval. All CalRecycle
grant applications and awards will comply with the City's Grant Administration Policy. During
the proposed five-year grant resolution term, a new resolution for applications will not be
necessary.
The Public Works Department plans to submit and apply for funding through the CalRecycle
BCQIG Program. This is a competitive grant program that will provide one-time funding to
assist with infrastructure costs in improving the quality of material sorting to create cleaner
streams of recycled beverage containers substantially free from contaminates.
The City is requesting funding to support replacing and upgrading equipment on the material
recovery sorting line, including adding robotic arms and AI software to help sort material.
Environmental Review
This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no
further action is required.
Council P�io�ity/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management—"Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial
Plans for all funds."
• Government of the 21st Century—`Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and
challenges of today's residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better
decisions today."
