Speaker 1: Report from Parks Rec and Marine recommendation to adopt resolution to submit a grant application to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Tire Derived Product Grant Program for the resurfacing of Park Playgrounds at Drake, Jackson Lo Cerritos Veterans and Whaley Parks Council.
Speaker 0: Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Councilwoman.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Mary, I just wanted to ask, are there any grants that staff has looked into that help achieve sustainability, waste reduction and climate change goals? Specifically, are we working with Cal Recycle or any other organizations in expanding recycling to our beaches and parks?
Speaker 8: So, yes, good evening, Mayor and members of the Council. There are a number of grants that we have recently and our have in the past applied for. So just this month, we submitted an application to the California Natural Resources Agency for their Urban Greening Grant program that focuses on building a healthier, sustainable California by funding projects that demonstrate.
Speaker 3: GHG emission reductions by planting.
Speaker 8: Trees and to sequester and store carbon reducing excuse me, commute vehicle miles by constructing bicycle paths and things like that. So we submitted two concept proposals, one for reforesting various parks and creating a nursery at Willow Springs Park, and then for our 14th Street Park plan, which would reclaim pedestrian right away from traffic and add trees and landscape to various park segments. We are also submitting an application to the State Coastal Conservancy for their Prop one water bond grant for the duck pond restoration at El Dorado West. And then the city has received in the past cal recycle grant funds for other departments such as Public Works Projects, Environmental Services Bureau for the Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program. We've received used oil payment program funding and beverage container and recycling payment program. We've also received a number of grants to the California State Parks and Natural Resources Agency, including Willow Springs, Wetlands, Urban Greening Grant and the Forest Wetlands River Parkways Grant. So we are always looking and working with our sustainability folks on different opportunities. There is a citywide grant committee that meets once a month where we look at what other resources might be available to us and has a citywide process looking at what is the best proposal to put forward. So we are as we see those opportunities and are aware of those funding processes, we're in the middle of some we've received some funding in the past and will continue to look at those.
Speaker 3: That was wonderful. Thank you, Mary. You're welcome. Great work you're doing. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Great. I need a motion in a second. On the consent calendar item that was pulled. Any public comment saying please cast your votes.
