<br />DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 7 <br /> <br />2. Key Activities <br />The City will need to amend certain sections of the Municipal Code to integrate the <br />enforcement processes and penalties specified in SB 1383 for non-compliant <br />generators, food recovery organizations, haulers, and other entities. <br />The City will also need to develop protocols and policies for compliance reviews, route <br />reviews, receipt and investigation of complaints, and documentation of its monitoring <br />and enforcement efforts. <br />If the City opts to use a third-party contractor or consultant to perform the monitoring <br />and enforcement activities, it will need to enter into a contract for these services. In <br />addition to the inspection procedures, the contract will need to include adequate <br />record-keeping and reporting provisions associated with the contamination reviews to <br />support the City in meeting SB 1383 reporting requirements and tracking program <br />progress. <br />Because StopWaste proposes to take leadership of the edible food recovery program, <br />including inspections, StopWaste will be entering into a memorandum of <br />understanding (MOU) with the County Environmental Health Department to confirm <br />and outline requirements for the edible food recovery inspections. <br />To comply with SB 1383, the City will need to use an information system for <br />documenting and reporting monitoring and enforcement efforts. <br />The City will be required to educate non-compliant entities no later than January 1, <br />2022, and at least until December 31, 2023. After this timeframe, SB 1383 will require <br />the City to initiate a notice of violation (NOV) process and issue penalties. <br />3. Collaborators <br />• StopWaste: Assist in desktop compliance review for commercial and multi- <br />family generators. <br />• County Environmental Health Department: Conduct inspections of commercial <br />edible food generators and food recovery organizations and services. <br />• City Staff and Consultants/Contractors: Assist in developing <br />monitoring/enforcement procedures and conduct contamination monitoring <br />route reviews. <br />4. Costs <br />The City will have one-time costs for staff and consultants of approximately $30,000 to <br />$53,000. On-going costs, prior to January 2024, will range from $81,000 to $248,000. <br />Additional one-time costs of $8,000 to $16,000 and on-going costs of $194,000 to <br />$459,000 will be required for enforcement activities commencing January 1, 2024. <br />
