RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Sherman Quinlan) to accept on behalf of the County, Grant Award Agreement #28-511-18 from the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB, EA19-08-15), to pay County an amount not to exceed $25,830, for the continuation of the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) assistance funds for the Department's Environmental Health Division (Solid Waste Program), for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Grantor from any claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in $25,830 of funding from the California Integrated Waste Management Board for the Department's Solid Waste Program. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is accepting applications for the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) Grant Program for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 43230, this grant award will be used solely for the support of the solid waste facilities permit and inspection programs. These funds will supplement the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) existing budget for equipment, training, supplies, personnel, and technical support. On June 3, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of funding application #28-511-17 with the California Integrated Waste Management Board for the Department's Environmental Health Division (Solid Waste Program), for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Approval of this Grant Agreement #28-511-18 will allow the Department continuous Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) assistance funding to continue the Solid Waste Program through June, 30, 2009.

Three certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing submission of the application should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
