31 COUNTY. The implementation plan will include the reasons why an extension is needed, the projected timeline, and details about each step of the process. The CITY will also provide the COUNTY with updates to the plan as implementation progresses. 4) Education and Outreach. The CITY shall: a.) Use COUNTY terminology when describing recycling guidelines (i.e. description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, etc.) b.) Use images provided by the COUNTY or the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board (SWMCB) if using images of recyclables. c.) Use the COUNTY's terminology, preparation guidelines and images on the CITY's website. d.) Mail a recycling guide once a year to residents using a template developed jointly through a communications committee and produced and printed by the COUNTY at the COUNTY's expense. If the CITY does not want to use the template produced by the COUNTY, the CITY may develop its own guide at the municipality's expense, but it must be approved by the COUNTY. If the CITY relies on the hauler to provide the recycling guide, this guide would also require approval by the COUNTY. e.) Complete two additional education activities from a menu of options developed by the communications committee to support the priority message campaign. Templates will be provided by the COUNTY. Any print material that communicates residential recycling guidelines that were not provided by the COUNTY template will require COUNTY approval. This does not apply to waste reduction and reuse, articles on recycling that do not include guidelines, and social media posts. The COUNTY will respond within five business days to any communication piece submitted. 5) Use of Grant Funds. a.) Grant funds can be used for all Recycling Program expenses including capital and operating costs. Expenses associated with residential collection of organics are considered eligible Recycling Program expenses. However, yard waste expenses are not eligible Recycling Program expenses. If organics and yard waste are commingled, the organics expenses must be tracked separately. b.) All grant funds accepted from the COUNTY must be used for Recycling Program capital and operating expenses in the year granted. c.) The CITY may not charge its residents through property tax, utility fees or any other method for that portion of the costs of its Recycling Program funded by COUNTY grant funds. d.) The CITY shall establish a separate accounting mechanism, such as a project number, activity number, or fund that will separate recycling and waste reduction revenues and expenditures from other municipal activities, including solid waste and yard waste activities.
