DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 42 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.6 Education and Outreach • Consistent with Section 7295 of the Government Code, “any materials explaining services available to the public shall be translated into any non-English language spoken by a substantial number of the public served by the agency” (§18985.1.e). • At least annually a jurisdiction shall provide commercial edible food generators with the following education and outreach (§18985.2.b): o Information about the edible food recovery program. o Information about edible food generator requirements for food recovery and record keeping (§18991.3). o Information about food recovery organizations and food recovery services operating within the jurisdiction, and where a list of those food recovery organizations and food recovery services can be found. o Information about actions that commercial edible food generators can take to prevent the creation of food waste. 3.6.3 Contract Implications The City’s current Franchise Agreement with PGS includes a solid foundation of education requirements for PGS. HF&H recommends that the City enter negotiations with PGS to amend their Agreement to bolster these provisions and ensure that the specific content requirements of the final SB 1383 regulations are included. Not only is this delegation allowed under Section 18981.2 of SB 1383, but it will also leverage the experience and expertise of PGS’ outreach staff and operational efficiency for delivering materials on existing routes or through billings. 3.6.4 Budgetary and Staffing Impacts The City will need increased funding and staffing to implement and manage the SB 1383 education program. The City has opportunities to leverage outside resources (such as templates created by StopWaste); however, City- specific material and customization will still be needed to ensure generators are aware of specific programs. It is recommended that the City continue its current contract with the Go Green Initiative, which is beneficial in creating effective City education programs, while also supporting the growth of students, and helping the City to be more engaged in the community. The cost for this contract has been included as an assumption in the cost analysis, summarized in Section 4. The cost and staffing analysis assumes that education and outreach for commercial edible food generators will be delegated to StopWaste, with additional delivery of education materials by County Environmental Health during inspections. Therefore, the cost and staffing analysis focuses more on education and outreach related to other program requirements, with a focus on mandatory service requirements and organic waste reduction.
