CITY COUNCIL: Amendments to City's Revised Harassment Prevention Policy

CITY CLERK’S OFFICE

CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Awarding Recycling Grant to Hilton Bialek Habitat Project

Meeting Date: March 1, 2011
Prepared by: Heidi Burch, Asst. City Administrator

City Council
Agenda Item Summary


Name: Consideration of a Resolution awarding a recycling grant in an amount up to $8,300 to the Hilton Bialek Habitat project.

Description: The City’s contract with Carmel Marina Corporation calls for annual grants to nonprofit organizations for recycling projects, special events and ongoing recycling programs. Each year, Carmel Marina Corporation remits $18,000 to the City. In turn, the City grants monies to nonprofit organizations that support the City’s educational recycling efforts.

This year, four nonprofit organizations applied for grant monies: MEarth: Hilton Bialek Biological Habitat; Carmel River School; Carmelo Child Development School; and The Carmel Foundation. The grant requests were reviewed by City staff and representatives from Waste Management.

Overall Cost: City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: $5,300

Staff Recommendation: Approve a grant in the amount of $5,300 to be funded from the Recycling Grants Deposit Account 50-24050-0805.

Important Considerations: The request was originally for $8,300; however, it included restoration of the North Dunes. This project conflicts with the restoration component of the Del Mar Master Plan submitted on behalf of the City for Habitat Conservation funding. As such, labor and plant costs for the North Dunes component are deducted from the Hilton Bialek request.

Decision Record: The Council has approved $86,750 in grant funding for Hilton Bialek projects over the past six years. The most recent approval was last month for a project costing $5,225.
