      Accumulated Measure D Fund Balances Exceeding Policy Threshold –

      It is recommended that the Recycling Board:

      Adopt by the attached resolution a revision to “Rule 2” in Resolution #2006-12, changing the threshold of member agency unspent Recycling Fund monies that triggers ineligibility for further allocations absent an approved Expenditure Plan from the sum of the last eight quarterly per capita allocations to one of the options listed in the staff report.  If an option includes an adjustment for population, the population figures used in the first quarterly disbursement of each fiscal year shall be applied each fiscal year to calculate the threshold.  It is recommended that this revised threshold apply to the fund balances reported at the end of FY 13/14 and each year forward.
