DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 32 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.4 Ordinances and Policies 3.4 Ordinances and Policies 3.4.1 Program Summary Jurisdictions subject to SB 1383 are required to implement several ordinances and policies to align with State mandated objectives. The City has Municipal Code sections and enforceable mechanisms that will need to be reviewed in detail and, in some cases, modified for SB 1383 compliance. These include topics such as solid waste, mandatory recycling, water conservation, building code, enforcement procedures, and procurement policies. Additionally, ordinance language for self-haulers, edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and haulers, as well as procedures for inspections and investigations will need to be included in the Municipal Code amendments. These ordinances and policies will need to be implemented and enforceable by January 1, 2022, and revisions should begin as soon as possible to ensure they are completed on time. The City has a few options for achieving these updates, including: having City Staff, City Attorney, and/or Consultant draft entirely new Municipal Code updates; utilizing the CalRecycle model enforcement ordinance; or, adopting the StopWaste model County ordinance. To minimize impacts on City budget and staffing and to support consistency in regional approaches, it is recommended that the City use the StopWaste County-wide model enforcement ordinance as a base, with review and amendment as needed to align with the City’s specific programs and collection systems prior to adoption. This County-wide ordinance will supersede the current MRO for the County. It is recommended that the City engage a consultant to support existing City staff in the drafting process in 2021. Considering the City does not currently have adequate staffing capacity for this function, the City would need to hire and train a new staff person to conduct this process, which is a time-consuming process that will not be possible in the necessary ordinance drafting time frame. Considering the revised and restated ordinance sections will need to be drafted and pass through two City Council readings prior of January 1, 2022, it is recommended that the City engage a consultant as soon as possible to effectively complete this requirement. The StopWaste model ordinance is expected to cover the majority of the SB 1383 requirements, with the potential exception of procurement policies, CALGreen compliance, and Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) requirements. With respect to procurement, the City does not currently have an EPPP, and will need to implement one, as previously described in Section 3.3.
