W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the County and the City are implementing the mandates of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 12 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SB 1383); and
WHEREAS, SB 1383 mandates that the County and City both establish an edible food recovery program that mandates that large, food-generating businesses and organizations arrange for the maximum amount of their surplus edible food be recovered for human consumption; educate, inspect, and enforce requirements for regulated businesses and organizations for edible food recovery compliance; and expand the capacity of food recovery organizations to recover and distribute all the surplus edible food available for recovery from regulated businesses and organizations within the jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, since January 28, 2020, the County has contracted with a food recovery organization serving the City’s businesses and residents called Pacifica Resource Center to expand the organization’s edible food recovery and distribution capacity within the city (Exhibit A). Through this contract, the County has provided Pacifica Resource Center with funding to purchase refrigerated vehicles, hire drivers and admin staff, pick up surplus edible food from grocery stores and wholesalers, and distribute collected food to community members in need; and
WHEREAS, on December 1, 2021 the County and City entered into an MOU to establish an edible food recovery program consistent with SB 1383 in the city, which is led and managed by the County. Under this MOU, the County agreed to educate and inspect regulated businesses and organizations and build edible food recovery capacity within the city; and WHEREAS, the City has received grant funding from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) under the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program to pay for eligible SB 1383 implementation expenses including edible food recovery program development; and
WHEREAS, the City has a surplus of $19,052.55 of SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program grant funding that must be spent by the end of the grant term, May 2, 2024, or else be returned to the State, and is willing to provide these funds to the County for their edible food recovery program work in the city; and
ATTACHMENT 2
2 WHEREAS, the County has incurred eligible SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program expenses during the grant program term through its agreement with Pacifica Resource Center to develop edible food recovery and distribution capacity in the city; and NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY THE PARTIES HERETO AS FOLLOWS:
1. Services to be Performed by the County
A. No later than April 1, 2024, the County shall invoice the City for $19,052.55. This payment will reimburse the County for some of the expenses it incurred during the grant period developing and overseeing an edible food recovery program in the city. The County shall provide invoices from the County’s work with Pacifica Resource Center detailing incurred expenses.
B. The County shall provide information to the City necessary for the City to complete a SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant budget modification form by February 1, 2024. Submitting this form to CalRecycle will reallocate the City’s $19,052.55 of surplus funding to the appropriate grant funding categories in the CalRecycle Grant Management System to allow for funds to be spent on edible food recovery program expenses. The budget modification request must be submitted to CalRecycle by March 1, 2024 in order for the modification to be processed before the end of the grant term.
C. The County shall provide the City with guidance for including the County’s edible food recovery program expenses in the City for the following SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant reports to CalRecycle required of all SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant grantees:
a. Expenditure Itemized Summary #4 due May 2, 2024.
b. Final Report due May 2, 2024.
2. Tasks to be Completed by the Jurisdictions
A. The City shall submit an SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant budget modification form to CalRecycle with information provided by the County by March 1, 2024.
B. The City shall, by May 2, 2024, process and pay in full the invoice valued at $19,052.55, submitted to the City by the County for expenses it incurred during the grant period developing an edible food recovery program in the city.
C. The City shall be responsible for completing and submitting its own SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant reports to CalRecycle with information about the County’s edible food recovery program expenses in the city with the guidance provided by the County.
3. Consideration
The benefit of this MOU to the City is that it ensures that the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program funding the City received is fully invested into the City’s SB 1383 implementation and not returned back to the State. This approach also alleviates the need for the City to incur expenses related to staff, labor, administration, and record keeping necessary to either develop a 3 new project eligible to be funded by SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program or to return unspent grant funding back to the State.
The benefit of this MOU to the County is that this approach will provide an additional $19,052.55 for investment into edible food recovery program capacity building. This funding will help support efforts to recover surplus edible food for community members in need. It will also benefit the City as the County’s investment into edible food recovery supports the City’s compliance with SB 1383’s edible food recovery requirements.
4. Relationship of Parties
It is expressly understood that this is an agreement between the independent entities, the County and the City, and that no individual agency, employee, partnership, joint venture, or other relationship is established by this MOU. The intent by both the County and the City is to create an independent collaborative relationship.
5. Hold Harmless
A. Except as provided in subsection B. below, the City shall indemnify and save harmless the County and its officers, agents, employees, and servants from all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind, and description resulting from this Memorandum of Understanding, brought for, or on account of, any of the following:
a) Injuries to or death of any person, including the City or its employees/officers/agents;
b) Damage to any property of any kind whatsoever and to whomsoever belonging; or c) Any other loss or cost, including but not limited to that caused by the concurrent active or passive negligence of the County and/or its officers, agents, employees, or servants. However, the City’s duty to indemnify and save harmless under this Section shall not apply to injuries or damage for which the County has been found in a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely liable by reason of its own negligence or willful misconduct.
The duty of the City to indemnify and save harmless as set forth by this Section shall include the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
B. A party seeking indemnity and defense under this section shall provide the indemnifying and defending party with prompt notice of any claim and give control of its defense and settlement to the indemnifying and defending party. The party seeking indemnity and defense shall also cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying and defending party, its insurance company, and its legal counsel in its defense of such claim.
The obligation to defend and indemnify pursuant to this section shall not cover any claim in which there is a failure to give the indemnifying and defending party prompt notice, but only to the extent that such lack of notice prejudices the defense of the claim. The indemnifying and defending party may not settle any potential suit hereunder without the other party’s prior written approval, which will not to be unreasonably withheld, 4 conditioned, or delayed. If a party who owes indemnity and defense under this section fails to promptly indemnify and defend a covered claim, the other party shall have the right to defend itself, and in such case, the party owning indemnity and defense shall promptly reimburse the other party for all of its associated costs and expenses.
C. The obligations imposed by this section shall survive termination or expiration of the Memorandum of Understanding.

Background
Per CA Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) regulations, all jurisdictions in the state are required to adopt local ordinances implementing an edible food recovery program and requiring large food generating businesses such as, but not limited to, supermarkets, grocery stores with a total facility size of 10,000 or more square feet, food wholesalers and distributors, and hotels with 200 or more rooms (generators) to arrange for edible food recovery services that recover the maximum amount of their surplus edible food possible. Edible food recovery is the act of diverting surplus edible food from businesses, organizations, or events that otherwise would have been disposed of in a landfill or sent to compost. Recovered food is then distributed to people in need. Food recovery organizations and services with expertise in food handling and safety, a deep understanding of hunger and food insecurity in our communities, and infrastructure to distribute food to those in need throughout the county, carry out this recovery service. In San Mateo County, all jurisdictions have adopted ordinances in line with the County’s ordinance to create one cohesive countywide edible food recovery program.
To help the food recovery organizations build capacity for their programs, the County has contracted with Abbe and Associated, a waste management and recycling industry consultant group, to provide Contractor assistance developing a fee-for-service model for the edible food recovery services they provide generators.
