IV. IWMD RECYCLING & WASTE DIVERSION GRANT PROGRAM
As reported last month, the Board of Supervisors recently approved funding in the
amount of $1,000,000 for IWMD's inaugural Regional Recycling and Waste Diversion
Grant Program. Each City has an opportunity to receive grant funding up to $40,000
for large cities with populations of more than 100,000. A meeting held on July 12,
2007 determined the Costa Mesa Sanitary District would receive $30,000 of the funds
and the City of Costa Mesa portion would be $10,000. The District and City will work
together on recycling programs to benefit the residents of Costa Mesa. The City of
Costa Mesa, however, objected to the split with $30,000 going to the Costa Mesa
Sanitary District and $10,000 to the City of Costa Mesa and, while acknowledging the
City and the CMSD have always worked together in providing excellent programs to all
Costa Mesa residents, requested the IWMD make the split 50/50. The Committee will
recommend to the CMSD Board of Directors, at its September 13, 2007 meeting, that
CMSD send a letter to the Orange County IWMD encouraging a 50/50 split of the
allocation of funds.
IV. GUEST - DONNA THERIAULT, CITY OF COSTA MESA AND MIKE BALLIET, RECYCLING
CONSULTANT TO THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
Ms. Theriault and Mr. Balliet provided an overview of the City's commercial trash
• collection, recycling, and education program. Ms. Theriault provided details of how
the State Integrated Waste Management Department calculates the diversion required
to meet the 50% diversion requirement. Mr. Balliet reviewed the activities of the
various commercial haulers in the City and how he compiles their individual reports
into a yearly City report. They also discussed how "self- haul" affects the City's
program.
Ms. Theriault and Mr. Balliet support a 50/50 split of IWMD grant funds and are
prepared to recommend various joint programs to the City and Sanitary District as
soon as the IWMD determines the categories within which the funds must be used.
Ms. Theriault will attend the October 8, 2007 Recycling Committee meeting if the
IWMD has determined the categories for use of the funds.
