Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has established the Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program to provide funding to local jurisdictions to assist with the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383. To receive these funds, CalRecycle requires the governing body of the applicant to adopt a resolution authorizing the local jurisdiction to apply for the grant program and identify the job title or his/her designee authorized as the signature authority to execute all documents necessary to implement and secure payment.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are consistent with the City’s General Plan waste diversion goal to encourage recycling and composting to divert organic material from being sent to

landfills, and the City’s Climate Action Plan’s strategy to reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfills and decrease the City’s methane emissions generated by waste.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): No environmental review is necessary because the recommendations in this report involve administrative activity and are not considered to be a project in accordance with Section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Sustainability: Recycling organic material such as yard waste, food waste, and food-soiled paper is required by SB 1383 and reduces the amount of methane emissions generated at landfills. Organic waste can be processed into resources, including compost and mulch, which provide nutrients and temperature regulation to plants, improve water retention, and prevent erosion.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: CalRecycle requires the governing body of the applicant to adopt a resolution authorizing submission of the application. If awarded, the Department of Public Works, Recycling and Solid Waste (RSW) Division will use these funds to purchase compost created from the City’s residential organic waste for application at City parks and facilities. They will also distribute compost to residents to help the City meet its annual SB 1383 recovered organic waste product procurement target. RSW will hire a waste consultant to conduct residential route reviews to address contamination and recommend methods for providing education and outreach on source-separation, as required by SB 1383. RSW also intends to purchase a new side-loader truck to service the increased number of residential customer accounts, ensuring compliance with SB 1383 in neighborhoods that were previously exempt from these services.
Financial Considerations: Staff recommends applying for funding from the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (OWR4: FY2022-23) in an amount not to exceed $864,034. If the grant funds are awarded, revenue and expenditure budgets in the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (OWR4: FY2022-23) Grant Project (G15003300) will be established. No matching funds are required.
There are no General Funds planned or allocated to this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
