TOWN OF FAIRFAX
STAFF REPORT
April 5, 2023
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Sean Youra, Climate Action Coordinator
Janet Coleson, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Adopt an Ordinance Prohibiting the Sale of Polystyrene Foam Coolers and Ice Chests, and Adopt a Reusable Foodware Ordinance
__________________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
1. Waive second reading, read by title only, and adopt Ordinance 2023-AA “Adding Section 8.16.030(C) Regarding the Prohibition on Polystyrene (EPS) Foam Coolers and Ice Chests to the Town Code” (Attachment 1).
2. Waive second reading, read by title only, and adopt Ordinance 2023-XX “Requiring all Food Facility Vendors to Use Reusable Foodware for Dine-In Operations and Compliant Compostable Foodware for Take-Out Services” (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
On May 10, 2022, the County of Marin adopted its Reusable Foodware Ordinance, which was modeled off of existing jurisdiction ordinances including Fairfax’s foodware ordinance. The County conducted an extensive ordinance development process and has created a model ordinance for jurisdictional adoption, with the goal that all jurisdictions in Marin would adopt this same ordinance. Adoption of this model ordinance would level the playing field for food vendors across the County by adopting the same requirements, ensuring consistent enforcement, and minimizing confusion for consumers and food service providers.
On March 1, 2023, the Town Council introduced the Reusable Foodware Ordinance (Attachment 2), which if adopted would replace the Town’s existing foodware ordinance in Chapter 8.72 of the Town Code in its entirety. Enforcement of the proposed foodware ordinance would begin November 10, 2023, eighteen (18) months after adoption of the County ordinance on May 10, 2022 to give businesses time to switch sourcing of supplies and deplete existing stock.
On March 1, 2023, the Town Council also introduced an ordinance prohibiting the sale of polystyrene foam coolers and ice chests within the Town (Attachment 1). This is already an existing provision in the Town’s foodware ordinance under Section 8.72.080(A), which would be moved to Section 8.16.030(C) with other regulations for polystyrene packaging, if the ordinance is adopted. Since the County will not enforce any provisions beyond those contained in their model foodware ordinance, moving this section will allow the Town to continue to maintain and enforce this prohibition on polystyrene foam coolers and ice chests. 2 FISCAL IMPACT
Financial impacts of implementation are expected to be minimal as a result of adopting the proposed foodware ordinance. If the Town adopts the County’s model ordinance without changes (other than adding the town name and specific information), and within twelve (12) months of County adoption (by May 10, 2023), the County’s Environmental Health Division will take on the role of enforcement through the food inspection program and the one-time enforcement fees would be waived. If the Town adopts the ordinance after the twelve (12) month period following County adoption (after May 10, 2023), the Town’s fee in the amount of $4,658 (based on 45 food facilities in the Town) would be assessed for adoption of the Ordinance and seeking enforcement from the County. The fee was calculated based on the time and resources needed to revise County’s EHS Division systems to include additional businesses after the initial development period (estimated as 0.5 hours per food facility). The fee is scaled based on the number of food facility operators within the jurisdiction.

ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF FAIRFAX TOWN COUNCIL ADDING
SECTION 8.16.030(C) REGARDING THE PROHIBITION ON
POLYSTYRENE (EPS) FOAM COOLERS AND ICE CHESTS TO THE
TOWN CODE
WHEREAS, the Town desires to move the prohibition on polystyrene (EPS) foam coolers and ice chests from Section 8.72.080A prior to replacing Chapter 8.72 with the County of Marin’s ordinance on foodware and place this prohibition in Section 8.16.030(C) with other regulations regarding polystyrene (EPS).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF FAIRFAX DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recital is true and correct and is hereby incorporated into this Ordinance.
Section 2. Subsection (C) of Section 8.16.030 regarding the prohibition on the sale of polystyrene (EPS) foam coolers and ice chests is hereby added to the Fairfax Town Code, which shall now read as follows:
Ҥ 8.16.030(C) For public health and safety purposes, the sale of polystyrene (EPS) foam coolers and ice chests is prohibited within the Town of Fairfax.
Coolers and ice chests that do not have exposed polystyrene foam and that are designed for reuse are exempt from the provisions of this chapter.” Section 3. CEQA. The Town Council hereby determines that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be determined that the proposed project will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. This Ordinance moves an existing prohibition on foam coolers and ice chests to a different location in the Town Code, and therefore does not propose nor authorize any action or specific project that would have the potential to cause a significant adverse effect on the environment.
Section 4. Effective Date and Posting. This Ordinance shall be effective 30 days following its adoption by the Town Council. Copies of this Ordinance shall, within fifteen days after its passage and adoption, be posted in three public places in the Town of Fairfax, to wit: 1. Bulletin Board, Town Hall Offices; 2. Bulletin Board, Fairfax Post Office; and 3. Bulletin Board, Fairfax Women’s Club.
The foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a meeting of the Town Council on the 1st day of March 2023, and duly adopted at the next regular meeting of the Town Council on the ___ day of ________________, 2023, by the following vote, to wit:

ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF FAIRFAX TOWN COUNCIL
REQUIRING ALL FOOD FACILITY VENDORS TO USE REUSABLE FOODWARE
FOR DINE-IN OPERATIONS AND COMPLIANT COMPOSTABLE FOODWARE
FOR TAKE-OUT SERVICES
SECTION I. FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Town of Fairfax has a desire and responsibility to protect the health, welfare, and safety of its citizens and economy. The proliferation of non-reusable (or disposable) foodware, packaging, and plastics has contributed to street litter, ocean pollution, marine, and other wildlife harm along with the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of the disposable materials.
WHEREAS, using reusable dishware significantly reduces the generation of unnecessary waste, and in most applications saves money, reduces disposal costs, and improves customer experience.
WHEREAS, reducing the generation of non-reusable foodware including plastic utensils, plastic cups, plastic clamshells, and plastic straws maximizes the operating life of landfills, reduces litter, and helps to lessen the economic and environmental costs of managing waste. This will also help protect the Town’s environment from contamination and degradation making it a cleaner, healthier region to all citizens and visitors.
WHEREAS, non-reusable foodware threatens public health because many types contain fluorinated chemical additives are known or suspected carcinogens or endocrine disruptors.
These additives are known to leach from foodware into food and beverage containers and into compost, soil, and water.
WHEREAS, numerous jurisdictions in the San Francisco Bay Area and the State of California have adopted legislation reducing the use of non-reusable food packaging with local and national businesses successfully replacing single-use food packaging with affordable durable and reusable foodware or, when needed, compliant compostable fiber foodware products.
WHEREAS, on May 10, 2022, the County of Marin adopted a local Reusable Foodware Ordinance which includes language offering enforcement services via the Environmental Health Services Food Program for cities/towns adopting the same ordinance for the food vendors in their jurisdictions.
WHEREAS, Town wishes to utilize the enforcement services offered by the County of Marin through the County’s Environmental Health Services Food Program.

The remedies and penalties provided by this Article are cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity. (a) Administrative Citations.
Administrative citations may be issued for violations of this Chapter at the discretion of the Director. The issuance of an administrative citation under this chapter shall not supersede or limit the remedies provided elsewhere in this Code or California law, including other administrative citation remedies. Issuance of an administrative citation may be exercised in place of, but shall not be considered a waiver of, the use of any other available enforcement remedy.
(b) Process and Service of Citation.
1. Prior to issuance of citation penalty, the County shall issue a violation warning letter to the facility operator and provide the facility operator thirty (30) days to correct the violation(s).
2. The violation warning letter and/or citation shall be mailed to the food facility operator named in the facility’s permit.
3. The failure of any interested person to receive the violation warning letter and/or citation shall not affect the validity of the proceedings. (c) Administrative Citation Penalty Schedule.
Following the violation warning letter described in Section 8.72.090(b)(1) above and thirty (30) day cure period, if the violations remains, the County may issue the following administrative penalties:
1. A fine not exceeding $100.00 for the first violation;
2. A fine not exceeding $200.00 for a second violation of the same Code provision within one year; and
3. A fine not exceeding $500.00 for each additional violation in excess of two, of the same Code provision within one year.
(d) Response to Citation Penalty
Following receipt of citation penalty, food facility operator shall have thirty (30) days to pay the fine as indicated on the citation, or to request a waiver of payment of the penalty due to unique undue hardship. This waiver may be granted by the Director upon demonstration by a food facility operator to the satisfaction of the Director that strict application of the requirements would cause undue hardship. An “undue hardship” includes, but is not limited to the following: 1. A situation unique to the food facility where a suitable alternative that conforms with the requirements of this chapter does not exist for a specific application. 8 2. Imposing the provisions of this Chapter would cause significant economic hardship. “Significant economic hardship” may be based on, but not limited to, demonstrating that suitable Foodware or Foodware Accessories made of Compliant compostable Natural Fiber is not available at a commercially reasonable price and the additional cost associated with providing the Compliant Foodware or Foodware is particularly burdensome to the food facility based on the type of operation(s) affected, the overall size of the business/operation, the number, type and location of its facilities, the impact on the overall financial resources of the food facility, and other factors. Reasonable added cost for a suitable item as compared to a similar item that the food facility can no longer use shall not by itself constitute adequate grounds to support an exemption for such item. In determining whether a significant economic hardship has been established, the Director or designee shall consider the following information: ability of the food facility to recover the additional expense by increasing its prices; the availability of tax credits and deductions; outside funding; and other options.
(e) Nonpayment of Citation for More than One Year Deemed Nuisance.
Nonpayment of any assessed violation for longer than one year shall constitute a nuisance and be subject to the nuisance abatement procedures in Marin County Code Chapter 1.05, including payment of civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation per day and enforcement and other abatement costs incurred by the County.”
SECTION III. This Ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the Town. The Town Council hereby finds that under section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that the provisions contained herein would not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It also finds the Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15307 and 15308 as an action by a regulatory agency taken to protect the environment and natural resources.
SECTION IV: SEVERABILITY
Every section, paragraph, clause, and phrase of this Ordinance is hereby declared to be severable. If for any reason, any section, paragraph, clause, or phrase is held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining sections, paragraphs, clauses or phrases, and the remaining portions or this ordinance shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by the Town.
