THE CITY OF 1 8 irill "' " =i CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT L- ATá .N July 20, 2021 City Manager TITLE: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE ACTION PLAN TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW SB 1383 TO REDUCE ORGANIC MATERIALS SENT TO LANDFILLS SUMMARY SB 1383 was signed into law in 2016. This law is the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in California in the last 30 years. SB 1383 requires the state to reduce organic waste (food waste, green waste, paper products, etc.) disposal by 75% by 2025. The law also requires the state to increase edible food recovery by 20 percent by 2025. This has significant policy and legal implications for the state and local governments The State Legislature tasked the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, also known as CalRecycle, with the administration of this law. CalRecycle created regulations and related programs to address the requirements of the law. This was completed through a rulemaking process which concluded in November 2020 with the regulations going into effect January 1, 2022. The law requires each jurisdiction to keep a SB 1383 implementation record and to develop a plan that demonstrates the jurisdictions approach to implementing SB 1383. The Draft SB 1383 Action Plan fulfills this requirement and provides clear direction in how the City plans to implement SB 1383. On May 25, 2021 the Waste and Recycling Subcommittee (Brown/Testa) were provided a presentation on SB 1383 and reviewed the Draft SB 1383 Action Plan and voted unanimously to bring forward this item for City Council adoption. RECOMMENDATION The Subcommittee on Waste and Recycling (Brown/Testa) along with City staff recommended that the City Council receive a presentation regarding SB 1383 and adopt the Draft SB 1383 Action Plan. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The estimated annual cost to the City ranges from $609,962 to $1,219,547. These additional costs to implement the law will be further refined through a negotiations process with the City's franchise hauler Pleasanton Garbage Service this summer. A complete cost analysis and recommendation regarding how to pay for these costs will be brought forward to the City Council in fall 2021 .
