SUMMARY
The California Integrated Waste Management Board offers grant opportunities for
several programs that promote the reuse and recycling of commonly used products like
used oil, hazardous waste, and tires. Staff recently identified an available program that .
promotes the use of recycled rubberized asphalt concrete for a variety of purposes
including roadway rehabilitation projects, playground surfacing, and trail/track surfacing.
The attached resolution will authorize staff to apply for grant funds related to this
program for a five-year period.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2008-29 authorizing the City
of Rosemead to apply for grant funds from the California Integrated Waste Management
Board for all available grants under the California Tire Recycling Act for a period of five
years, through April 22, 2013.

DISCUSSION
Public Resources Code Section 42872.5 authorizes the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB) to award grants to local government agencies for public
works projects that use rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC). The CIWMB RAC grant
program is aimed at regular users of RAC and allows agencies the ability to apply for
multiple projects within a grant cycle and subsequent cycles. Grant funds are eligible to
be used to offset the incremental costs associated with using RAC as opposed to
conventional asphalt concrete.
As staff proceeds with the development of recreational jogging trails at Rosemead Park,
grant funds could be used to help offset associated costs. In evaluating potential
surfaces for the jogging trail, staff has found that many local communities and school
districts utilize RAC surfaces due to their comfort as a trail surface and the minimal

the use of recyclable materials and take of proactive step towards greater
environmental responsibility.
