<br /> <br />DRAFT – June 15, 2021 | Page 25 <br />THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />SB 1383 ACTION PLAN <br />2021 ─ 2025 <br />3.2 Monitoring and Enforcement <br /> <br />3.2.9 Other Considerations <br />Whether the City chooses to delegate some enforcement actions or conduct them internally, the City must <br />develop its inspection and enforcement program by January 1, 2022 and perform monitoring and inspection <br />activities thereafter. As such, the City will need to provide sufficient Code Enforcement or other staffing to develop <br />and implement the plan, as well as manage and perform on-going enforcement activities. The City may also <br />consider engaging a contractor to assist with initial program design. <br />StopWaste has distributed a proposal from the County Environmental Health Department, in coordination with <br />the Berkeley Health Department, to conduct compliance reviews for commercial edible food generators and food <br />recovery organizations and services. Collaborating with the County Health Department for food recovery <br />enforcement is strongly recommended, due to the County’s existing inspection authority and expertise. <br />3.2.10 Step-by-Step Action Plan <br />Figure 14: Monitoring & Enforcement Step-by-Step Action Plan <br />ID # Action Item Collaborators Timeframe <br />1 Designate existing staff to engage with contractor and oversee <br />enforcement implementation. <br />City Jun 2021 <br />2 Hire a consultant to plan and document inspection and enforcement <br />program (optional). <br />City Jun -Jul 2021 <br />3 Explore software program options and costs (e.g., Recyclist).
