RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee (Director of Environmental Health or Assistant Director of Health Services), to execute Grant Agreement #28-759-28 (State #TEA29-21-0026) with the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to pay County an amount not to exceed $165,913, for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program, for the period from June 30, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in up to $165,913 in funding from CalRecycle for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Environmental Health/General Programs is the solid waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for the entire County, including all incorporated cities except for the City of Pittsburg. CalRecycle has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the State, setting up necessary procedures governing application by cities and counties under the program. Since 2007, Contra Costa County has demonstrated it has sufficient staff resources, technical expertise, and/or experience to carry out the proposed program. The Program allows the County to monitor and reduce illegal waste tire practices, educate and enforce proper waste tire management and assist in reducing potential vector problems and prevent tire fires and otherwise protect public health safety.

On March 30, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the submission of a grant application to California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program through September 30, 2022.

On January 11, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved the submission of a grant application to California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program through September 30, 2023.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-759-28 will allow Contra Costa Environmental Health to continue the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program. This agreement includes an agreement to indemnify and hold the State harmless, through September 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not be able to monitor and reduce illegal waste tire practices, educate and enforce proper waste tire management throughout the County, assist in reducing potential vector problems and prevent tire fires, nor protect public health and safety.
