Subject: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Public Services Director to submit applications to CalRecycle for all grant applications for which the County of Lake is eligible.
Executive Summary:
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) routinely offers grant opportunities to local agencies throughout the state to support recycling, waste reduction, and related programs.

These programs include, but are not limited to, beverage container recycling and litter education and prevention, organics management, used oil and filter disposal, tire amnesty and household hazardous waste events.
