Summary/Background
The monthly financial report includes General Fund Reserved Cash Analysis Graphs and the City of Colfax Cash Summary Report (with supporting documentation). The reports are prepared monthly on a cash basis and are reconciled to the General Ledger accounting system, previous reports, and bank statements. Detailed budget comparisons are provided as a mid-year report and as part of the proposed budget process each year.

 February expenditures included:

o Franchise fee audit costs (to be reimbursed).
o Ongoing monthly operating expenses and approved capital project expenditures.  Negative cash fund balances at the end of February are due to timing of funding allocations and reimbursements:

Subject: An Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Colfax Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter

8.20 “Refuse Collection”
Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
At the March 9, 2022, regular meeting, Council introduced the proposed ordinance by title only, conducted a public hearing, and scheduled the ordinance for adoption at the March 23, 2022, regular meeting. Council requested the following clarifications, all of which have been incorporated into the draft ordinance scheduled for adoption at this meeting:

1. Definition of “Approved solid waste container”, strike the second sentence that refers to the contractor approved container.

2. Definition of “Bulky Waste” add “as defined by the state code”.

3. Definition of Exempt Waste: add lithium-ion batteries.

4. Definition of “Food Waste”, add parenthetical reference that defines putrescible. Also under definition of solid waste and 8.20.190H.

5. Page 43 (Ordinance page 13 of 19), subsection I, strike “twice”.

6. Page 43 (Ordinance page 13 of 19), subsection P: also exclude streets that cannot accommodate containers.

7. Remove health officer and chief of police from 8.20.050, 8.20.190C, 8.20.270B, 8.20.270C,

8.20.270D.

The balance of this staff report reiterates the March 9, 2022 staff report.

The California legislature has enacted several laws that regulate the handling of organic waste materials by commercial businesses and multifamily properties, as well as other commercially generated recyclable materials. Organic waste materials release methane gas when disposed in landfills during the decomposition process, which is a potent greenhouse gas. The intent of the organic recycling laws, including AB 1826 and SB 1383, is to reduce landfill disposal of organic materials in an effort to mitigate climate change.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance ___, an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Colfax Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 8.20 “Refuse Collection”, to be effective 30 days after adoption.

Item 3E
20 City of Colfax An Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Colfax Municipal Code Staff Report March 23, 2022 Title 8, Chapter 8.20 “Refuse Collection” The proposed ordinance was prompted by the passage of SB 1383, which requires persons who generate organic waste to comply with local requirements for collection and recovery of organic waste onsite, and with the use of collection services or through self-hauling. “Organic waste” includes food and green waste but is also broadly defined to include materials such as food scraps, coffee grounds, peelings, vegetable trimmings, bones, bread scraps, and used pizza boxes. The net effect of the law and its implementing regulations is that organic waste, including food waste, can no longer be placed in the landfill and must be diverted through a high diversion recovery facility or single source separation waste process.

CalRecycle has legal authority to begin enforcement proceedings and assess penalties for violations effective January 1, 2022. Although Colfax is presently not subject to these provisions, it likely will be in the future and needs to consider taking steps to prepare to obtain compliance.

The proposed ordinance has several intended purposes: (1) to achieve compliance with SB 1383 and its implementing regulations; (2) to divert food waste from going to the landfill and to minimize waste disposal costs to homeowners; and (3) recovery of edible food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to feed people in need.

Staff will be available to answer questions or provide additional information.

Fiscal Impacts
None anticipated unless enforcement becomes an issue.

8.20.020 Refuse Solid waste collection and disposal system—Findings.

A. The council finds that, for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare, the establishment of a municipal system for the collection and disposal of all solid waste refuse is necessary.

B. The council finds that, for the purpose of maintaining adequate control of a refuse solid waste disposal collection systemservice, the city must retain exclusive rights to the systemservice.

C. The council finds that the disposal of refuse solid waste by individuals on a voluntary basis, throughout California cities, has been unsuccessful. Therefore mandatory subscription to a refuse disposal systemsolid waste collection service is necessary.

D. The council finds that the periodic collection of refuse solid waste from all places and premises in the city benefits all people in the city and that inasmuch as it is necessary that charges be assessed to support the cost of the refuse disposal systemsolid waste collection service, then such charges shall be assessed to all places and premises where refuse solid waste is produced or generated to assure the equitable spread of financial liability.

(Supp. No. 13, 8-21)
occupant has any refuse solid waste for collection, the cost of removal thereof should be shared by all persons.

E. The council finds that losses in revenue attributed to "skipped" accounts receivable and increased administrative overhead costs to maintain a system of billing and accounting records on an occupant basis are prohibitive and, because only limited legal collection recourses are available, it is imperative that refuse solid waste collection fees become a liability to the owner and be billed and accounted for on that basis.

Further, the council finds that the satisfaction of those disposal requirements will obviate the need to maintain an "open dump" policy. Further, the council finds that in order to protect ththere is no remaining e city sanitary landfill capacity, it is in the best interests of the city to close the city dump to the public.

Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE MARCH 23, 2022 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Wes Heathcock, City Manager
Prepared by: Laurie Van Groningen, Finance Director
Subject: California Hazard Mitigation Grant Program – Subapplication Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: $6,850,000 Fund(s): Fund 100 (Reimbursed through HMGP Grant)
Summary/Background
The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) announced a 2021 funding opportunity for FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The opportunity provides funding for communities to implement mitigation activities to reduce risk to life and property from natural hazards. In California, natural hazards include wildfire, earthquake, drought, extreme weather, flooding, and other impacts of climate change.

The HMGP program will provide federal cost share funding with a 25% local cost share (non-federal share) requirement to be funded by the subapplicant (City).

City staff submitted two projects for consideration of this grant opportunity via a Notice of Interest (NOI) to Cal OES. Cal OES reviewed the NOI’s for eligibility and has invited the City to submit a full grant subapplication.

Cal OES will review all subapplications and submit projects to FEMA in accordance with the State’s priorities.

The two proposed projects for the City of Colfax are:

Community Home Hardening and Defensible Space Program
In collaboration with local resources, the City proposes to implement a Home Hardening and Defensible Space Program to include:
• Education and outreach to the entire community through education materials and training programs. • Home Hardening/Defensible Space inspections at no cost, available to all single-family residential properties within City limits.
• A rebate program (% to be determined) for property owners who implement recommended retrofits or improvements detailed in inspection reports.

It is anticipated that education/training and inspections can be provided through our contractual relationship with Placer County Fire. The City has initiated conversations with Placer Resource Conservation District to administer the program.

Energy Resilience – Generator Installation for Critical Facilities and Infrastructure RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss and consider authorizing the City Manager to submit a subapplication for California Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects - Community Home Hardening and Defensible Space and Energy Resilience – Generator Installation for Critical Facilities and Infrastructure in an amount not to exceed $6,850,000.

Item 9A
41 City of Colfax California Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Staff Report March 23, 2022
This project will provide backup power to critical City facilities to allow for continuous operations and preservation of essential functions when the primary power source is interrupted during emergencies. The critical facilities are:
1) Colfax City Hall
2) Sheriff Department Substation
3) Sierra Vista Community Center
The proposed project costs are outlined in the chart below. It is our goal to minimize the extent of City General Funds for the Community Home Hardening and Defensible Space project and will work to obtain match commitments prior to application date.

The subapplications are due to Cal OES no later than April 8, 2022.

Staff is soliciting Council support for these two projects.
