a) Adopt a Resolution to establish authority to submit an application to the State of California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for a Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant;
b) Authorize the Director of Public Works or designee to execute in the name of the County of Santa Barbara any grant documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments and requests for payment, necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project;
c) Establish that this authorization is effective for five (5) years from the date of adoption of the Resolution; and
