File Number: 22-474 Enacted in 2016, SB 1383 is a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). The law sets targets to reduce organic waste disposal 50 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025 and rescue 20 percent of currently disposed surplus food by 2025. The City is responsible for complying with the extensive program requirements that include providing organics collection services to all businesses and residents, conducting education and outreach to the community, procuring recyclable and recovered organic products, and reporting efforts to CalRecycle in accordance with established timelines. The City received a CalRecycle Grant of $115,507 for SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program Funding to be used by June 30, 2023. Staff intends to use the grant funding for SB 1383 implementation assistance from a consulting firm. On May 1, 2022, the City entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with HF&H Consultants to bring businesses and multifamily residences into compliance with recycling and organics regulations, review public education and outreach efforts, assist staff in the implementation of Recyclist software for SB 1383, and to assist staff in developing a compliant organics product procurement program. In addition, staff tasked HF&H Consultants with developing an implementation plan for the upcoming fiscal year, which is provided in their proposal dated, June 30, 2022. The proposal is the scope of work and compensation schedule for Amendment No. 1 to the agreement. Analysis HF&H Consultants will assist City staff to further develop and implement the City’s SB 1383 regulatory compliance plan for fiscal year 2022-2023. The work is specified tasks 1-3 on the proposal dated June 30, 2022. SB 1383 work tasks include: •Task 1: Implement SB 1383-compliant organics collection for commercial customers •Task 2: Develop SB 1383 recordkeeping and reporting system •Task 3: Review existing contracts and recordkeeping practices related to organic waste product procurement HF&H will also perform additional work for the City not directly related to SB 1383 program implementation. Task 4 in the proposal is to assist the City in developing a procurement strategy for the solid waste, recycling, and organics service collection franchise, which is set to expire February 1, 2025. Task 5 in the proposal is to assist the City to make modifications to the annual report to CalRecycle to adjust for waste that was incorrectly attributed to the City affecting the reported diversion rate. Tasks 4 and 5 cannot be paid for with the SB 1383 grant funding, so other funding sources are identified.
