BACKGROUND California law SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) was passed in September 2016 establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) in various sectors of California's economy. The law went into effect on January 1, 2022. On June 15, 2021, the City Council adopted the SB 1383 Action Plan which outlines the City's plan for implementing the law including updating the City's Administrative Policy: Purchasing Procedures and Manual to comply with SB 1383 requirements. DISCUSSION SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to address and adequately resource the regulations set forth in the law. One of the areas included in the regulations relates to procurement requirements. Local jurisdictions are required to procure certain levels of materials derived from organic waste such as compost, renewable gas used for transportation fuels, electricity, heating applications, pipeline injection, or electricity from biomass conversion produced from organic waste. Additionally, the law requires each jurisdiction to procure recycled paper products consistent with the requirements of the Public Contract Code §22150 through §22154 and requires the jurisdiction to keep records and report on organic waste and recycled content paper purchases. The proposed amendments to the Purchasing Procedures and Manual will guide staff on implementing SB 1383 procurement requirements, which staff recommends Council adopt as set forth in the attached Resolution.
