DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 13 • Implementation of an edible food recovery program that includes education of Commercial Edible Food Generators annually; • Increasing commercial edible food generators’ access to food recovery organizations and food recovery services (as defined in SB 1383 Section 18982(a)(25) and Section 18982(a)(26), respectively) ; • Participating in edible food recovery capacity planning efforts, led by the County; • Developing a list of food recovery organizations and food recovery services operating within the service area and update the list annually; and, • Inspecting entities for compliance and report on program activities, as previously mentioned. 2. Key Activities To recover the maximum amount of edible food, the City will need to include a section in the enforcement ordinance that requires Tier One and Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators and food recovery organizations and services to comply with SB 1383 regulations. StopWaste has proposed taking the lead and managing these food recovery responsibilities at no cost to the City. StopWaste and the County plan to enter an MOU for edible food recovery inspection and enforcement. It is recommended the City confirm with StopWaste the scope of the MOU and understand the delegation operations for inspections within the City. The City is required to monitor compliance of commercial edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to ensure compliance with the food recovery requirements of SB 1383. As recommended in Section 3.2.1, the most efficient method for conducting the required inspections is to delegate this inspection and enforcement to the County Public Health Department, which is already performing health and safety inspections of these businesses. City staff and HF&H strongly recommend that the City utilize StopWaste and the County for these inspections. The City will be able to refer entities to the County for enforcement if needed. The City will have to educate commercial edible food generators of their obligations annually. 3. Collaborators • City Staff: Modify the City’s solid waste ordinance, participate with StopWaste in the development of the edible food recovery inspection and enforcement program, support its operations, and educate and monitor compliance of edible food generators and food recovery organizations. • StopWaste: o Identify list of Tier 1 and Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators. o Maintain list of food recovery organizations and food recovery services. o Evaluate opportunities for regional food recovery funding. o Provide food recovery education and outreach materials. • County Environmental Health Department: o Conduct inspections of Tier 1 and Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators, and food recovery organizations and services.
