The City Council has cleared the way for Escondido to ask the state for recycling money, approving Resolution 2026-120 to let the city's Director of Utilities, or someone that director designates, fill out and send in applications to CalRecycle. Council members approved it 5-0 in a single vote covering items 1-11, 14-16, 18-19, on a motion by White and a second by Fitzgerald.
The authorization is not limited to one pot of money. It covers Beverage Container Recycling funds, the Used Oil Payment Program, and other CalRecycle grants, payments and funding opportunities the city is eligible for. Anything the city receives is meant to pay for citywide recycling education, infrastructure and programs. The item is filed under File Number 1340-70 in the city's records.
The request came from the Utilities Department, under Director of Utilities Daniel Peterson, and staff recommended that the Council approve it. The record does not say how much money the city expects to receive.
