Mayor Olmos introduced Rene Salas, City Manager, who introduced Masami Higa, Director of Finance, who provided a presentation on potential recommendations to modernize outdated ordinances within Title 3 of the Municipal Code. Staff recommendations include no changes to Chapters 3.04 through 3.12, to modernize parts of Chapter 3.16, such as updating the City Manager’s approval threshold to a fixed target instead of a CPI-based moving target, to modernize parts of Chapter 3.18 adopting the State’s Public Contract Code instead of adoption by ordinance, to repeal Chapters 3.20 through 3.36 because they are no longer legally required in accounting rules or the funds no longer exist, and to make no changes to Chapter 3.40.

24-233 DESIGNATING THE CITY MANAGER AS THE
SIGNATURE AUTHORITY FOR GRANT-RELATED
DOCUMENTS AND FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND CLOSEOUT OF THE GRANT SUMMARY: On January 4, 2022, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery CalRecycle) published a Notice of Funding Availability for the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program ("Grant Program"). CalRecycle requires the City to designate and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments and requests for payment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 24- 233, authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, amendments and requests for payment.
FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City of South El Monte was awarded $31,042 through CalRecycle’s SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program, which does not require a local General Fund match.
DISCUSSION: California Senate Bill (SB) 1383 was enacted in 2016 and established methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of shortlived climate pollutants. This bill required the California Department of Resources Recycling and 2 8 3 4 Recovery (CalRecycle) to adopt regulations to achieve the targeted goals for reducing organic waste disposal in landfills. The established SB 1383 regulations are wide-ranging, imposing multiple requirements on local jurisdictions, haulers, waste generators, landfill operators, and recycling facility operators.
In January 2022, CalRecycle announced a one-time grant program to assist jurisdictions in implementing SB 1383 regulations. The grant term runs from April 2022 through December 2024. The City of South El Monte was awarded $30,042 to assist with the implementation of SB 1383 regulations. These funds can be used for tasks and programs such as:
• Capacity Planning
• Collection
• Edible Food Recovery
• Education and outreach (this includes organic waste & edible food recovery) • Enforcement and Inspection
• Program Evaluation/Gap Analysis
• Procurement Requirements
• Record Keeping
The City Council previously authorized the application for CalRecycle’s SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program by adopting Resolution No. 22-10 at the February 8, 2022, City Council meeting. This resolution allowed the City to apply for “any and all payment programs offered” by CalRecycle. It also authorized the City Manager or designee to serve as the Signature Authority to execute all necessary documents for implementation and payment.
The City of South El Monte was awarded funding through CalRecycle’s SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program, which has been allocated to several project activities. These include administrative expenses, project management services, and education and outreach efforts. The funds will also be used for compliance, inspection, and enforcement tasks, such as identifying Tier 1 and Tier 2 Edible Food Generators, conducting inspections, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Additionally, the grant will support the preparation and submission of final reports, which will include an analysis of food recovery agencies, results from the education and outreach initiatives, and recommendations for future actions.
To continue facilitating this and future CalRecycle grant applications, the City must adopt a new resolution re-authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and requests for payment. CalRecycle encourages a time period of five (5) years during which the City Manager’s authorizations are valid.
Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-233, authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all grant documents, including but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and requests for payment.
