Agenda Report
DATE: October 18, 2023
FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manager P/J
PREPARED BY: Sheila Pautsch, Community Services Director ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Blanket Authority to File Applications for Grant Funds from Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District for Measure A Funding for Projects and Programs
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution approving an application for Measure A Funding for Projects and Programs; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign the application and all related grant documents.
Executive Summary
The Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space Beaches, Rivers Protection, and Water Conservation Measure, or Measure A, was developed to meet current and future park needs throughout Los Angeles County. Its content reflects the findings of the Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment that was completed in 2016.
Measure A was approved by voters in 2016 and includes both formula-based allocations to agencies throughout the study area, as well as competitive grants that are open to public agencies, non-profit organizations, and schools. In order to apply for and accept Measure A funds, the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District requires a resolution from the City of San Gabriel. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 22-22 authorizing the acceptance of Measure A funds.
Background
In 1992 and 1996, Los Angeles County voters approved two local parks funding measures, both called Proposition A. The 1992 Proposition A created the Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) and generated annual revenue of $52 million until its expiration in 2015. The 1996 Proposition A generated $28 million annually and expired in 2019. Since 1992, RPOSD awarded grant funds for more than 1,500 projects for parks, recreational, cultural, and community facilities as well as beaches and open space throughout the county.
Adoption of a Resolution for Measure A Funding
October 18, 2023
As Proposition A came to an end, Los Angeles County launched a Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment (PNA) to determine park needs countywide. The PNA included a countywide inventory of parks, analysis of park needs, and community engagement process. Measure A, the Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space Beaches, Rivers Protection, and Water Conservation Measure, was developed to meet current and future park needs as identified in the PNA. Measure A is an annual parcel tax of 1.5 cents per square foot of improved property. The Measure was approved by voters in 2016. It generates more than $90 million per year for county local parks, beaches, and open space areas. Measure A includes both formula-based allocations to Study Areas and competitive grants that are open to public agencies, non-profit organizations, and schools. Unlike Proposition A, Measure A does not have an expiration date.
Analysis
Annual Allocation grant programs use a formula to provide funds to identified public agencies on an annual basis. As part of the community-based park investment program, the City of South Pasadena's annual allocation is about $83,770. Agencies who receive annual allocation funds have several options for how they may use the funds, including expend, accrue, bond, and share/transfer. Including the most recent allocation (FY 2022- 23), the City's current available balance of the allocated Measure A funds is $559,871. Staff is looking to draw down and spend these funds on the construction of two pocket parks and will bring a future item to the Council requesting expenditure.
Fiscal Impact
The Measure A annual allocation funding is a continuous grant award that provides funds to public agencies. The City has an available balance of $559,871 which would provide partial funds for both pocket parks. Fund 279 was created to track all expenditures and revenues from Measure A.
Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan
This item is in line with the department’s Key Performance Indicators and/or aligns with the Strategic Plan, which is committed to enhancing community sustainability through investment in infrastructure and environmental management programs.
Commission Review and Recommendation
This item was reviewed by the Community Services Commission, formally the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission), and was recommended to the City Council to move forward with the conceptual designs of the pocket park. There were two community meetings held for both pocket park sites on February 10, 2018, and a special meeting of the Commission on March 12, 2018. The item was again revisited on May 10, 2021, at a Commission due to the lapse in time due to the pandemic. The recommendation remained the same.

PREPARED BY: Tamara Binns, Assistant to the City Manager Mark Jimenez, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Discretionary Fund Request from Mayor Pro Tem Evelyn Zneimer in the amount of $2,000 for the
Chamber of Commerce Holiday Tree/Menorah Lighting Event Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of a Discretionary Fund request by Mayor Pro Tem in the amount of $2,000 to support the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Tree/Menorah Lighting event Pasadena.
Background
In September 2004, the City Council approved the creation of discretionary spending budgets that allow each Councilmember the opportunity to fund projects or purchases that might not otherwise be funded in the approved budget. Discretionary funds must be used for a public purpose benefiting the City. On August 17, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution No. 7174, establishing guidelines for the application of City Council discretionary budget accounts. It requires that use of such funds may be used if findings can be made by the City Council. Resolution No. 7174 states that all funds not expended during the fiscal year shall be carried over to subsequent fiscal years, up to a maximum carryover amount of $10,000 per Councilmember account. The allocated funds need not be encumbered by a purchase order to be carried over to the following fiscal year. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20, the Budget included $20,000 of Discretionary Funds, which amounts to $4,000 per Councilmember. Each Fiscal Year since, the budget has remained at $20,000 for Discretionary Funds. As part of the FY 2023-2024 Budget process, the carry-over of Discretionary Funds from prior Fiscal Years was approved, and this change is annotated on page 62 of the adopted budget.
Analysis
The City Council receives an annual discretionary fund and shall make the following specific findings before recommending the use of any funds in a discretionary account for City-related projects or purchases: a) The expenditure has a public purpose benefitting the City; b) The expenditure is free of any conflicts of interest that may arise from the use of City funds; and c) The expenditure is not a gift to any individual, /:t<--

On September 15, 2023, Mayor Pro Tem Zneimer requested approval and received a second from Mayor Primuth to allocate Discretionary Funds in the amount of $2,000 for the acquisition of a Menorah. This request aligns with a public purpose, aiming to enhance cultural celebrations within the City by acquiring a Menorah for the community.
There are no known or anticipated conflicts of interest associated with the use of City funds for this purchase, and it is intended to benefit the general public by providing a Menorah for festive occasions within the City, such as the Chamber’s holiday event .
As per the South Pasadena Purchasing Policy, when acquiring goods or general services with a value ranging from $2,501 to $10,000, it is mandatory to obtain written quotations. Attachment 1 includes three quotations for the procurement of the Menorah.

Agenda Report
DATE: October 18, 2023 FROM: Armine Chaparyan, City Manageryf/ PREPARED BY: Roxanne Diaz, City Attorney
ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Consideration of An Ordinance of the City of South Pasadena, California, Amending Chapter 1, Chapter 1A and Section 24.02 of the South Pasadena Municipal Code to Update the Provisions Related to Violations of the Code, Including Substandard Buildings, Penalties for Code Violations and Procedures Related to Code Violations Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider introduction of the Ordinance for first reading and waive full reading of the Ordinance amending the South Pasadena Municipal Code updating the provisions related to violations of the code, including substandard buildings, and the penalties and procedures related to Code violations.
Executive Summary
The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to modernize the general penalty provisions of the South Pasadena Municipal Code ("Code") as well update sections of the City's Administrative Citations chapter. With respect to fines, including fines for administrative citations, the proposed ordinance makes various amendments to be compliant with State law relating to hardship waivers and the amount of certain fines.
Background
The Community Improvement Division of the Community Development Department is the department that responds to complaints from residents and businesses as well as conducts inspections and determines when a violation of the City's Code exists. The goal of the Community Improvement Division is to help preserve and improve the quality of life of the City's residents and businesses primarily through education and communication but when necessary, enforcement of the Code.
Code violations may be enforced civilly by the issuance of an administrative citation and in some cases through a criminal process either as a misdemeanor or infraction. As part of the City Attorney's review of the City's practices and procedures, the City Attorney has been working with the Community Improvement Division in reviewing its code enforcement activities and have discussed improving the existing Code provisions related First Reading of Ordinance Updating Provisions Related to Violations of the Code October 18, 2023
to enforcement. This proposed ordinance addresses the Community Improvement Division’s immediate needs, specifically with the adoption of the updated penalty amounts as well as adoption of more robust provisions related to the general violation section. We expect that additional ordinances will be brought forward as we continue our work with the Community Improvement Division to ensure that Staff has the tools necessary to implement an effective and efficient community improvement program.
Analysis
The proposed ordinance modernizes the City’s “General Penalty” provisions in Chapter 1 of the Code as well as several provisions of the City’s “Administrative Citation” provisions in Chapter 1A as further described below. A “legislative digest” that redlines current code provisions is also provided as an attachment.
Revisions to General Penalty Provisions
Section 1.7- Violations of Code and General Penalty
This Section has been renamed and revised to provide that violations of the Code may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or as an infraction. In addition, any violation of the Code may be addressed as an administrative citation or a violation may be summarily abated as a public nuisance. Last, there is language regarding the prosecutorial discretion of the city prosecutor and/or the city attorney related to Code violations.
Section 1.7 now includes the penalty or fine amounts for infractions. Pursuant to Government Code 36900, the fine for violations that are infractions are $100 for the first offense; $200 for the second violation of the same Code provision within one year; and $500 for each additional violation of the same Code provision within one year.
For violations of a city’s building and safety codes, those penalty amounts were increased by statute. Accordingly, the fine amounts for a violation of local building and safety codes are $130 for a first violation, $700 for a second violation of the same Code provision within one year, and $1,300 for each additional violation of the same Code provision within one year of the first violation. For additional violations of the same Code provisions within two years of the first violation, the fine is $2,500 if the property is a commercial property and the violation is due to failure by the owner to remove visible refuse or failure to prohibit unauthorized use of the property.
Section 1.7 also has a new provision that states that any violation of a condition of any permit, entitlement or approval constitutes a violation of the Code. Last, the ordinance carries over language from the original code that each day a violation is continued or permitted, this constitutes as a separate offense and can prosecuted as such.
Section 1.8 - Hardship Waiver for Fine Reduction
Government Code Section 36900 was also amended to require that cities enact a process for granting a hardship waiver to reduce the amount of the fine upon a showing by the 11 - 2
First Reading of Ordinance Updating Provisions Related to Violations of the Code October 18, 2023
responsible person that they have made a bona fide effort to comply after the first violation and that payment of the full amount of the fine for the second violation would impose an undue financial burden. Accordingly, this process is set forth in a new Section 1.8.
Section 1.11- Authorization to Cite
This section provides that in addition to the City’s code enforcement officers, the City Manager may designate other city officers or employees to issue citations, including administrative citations, and to make misdemeanor arrests without a warrant only if the violation occurs in the present of that official. This is a standard provision in municipal codes related to enforcement and is also authorized by Penal Code Section 836.5. That said, the goal of the Community Improvement Division is to obtain voluntary compliance and the pursuit of a misdemeanor complaint is a decision that must be thoughtfully considered and weighed against all possible alternatives.
Revisions to Administrative Citation Chapter
Section 1A.2- Applicability
Government Code Section 53069.4 specifically authorizes cities to make any violation of any ordinance punishable by an administrative fine or penalty instead of an infraction or misdemeanor that is enforced by criminal prosecution. A new paragraph was added to make clear that all violations of the Code are subject to an administrative citation including any violation of a condition of any permit, entitlement or approval issued under the Code.
Section 1A.6- Fines
Section 1A.6 has been revised to include the amount of the fines for code violations that would otherwise be an infraction, including violations of the City’s building and safety code. The amount of the fines are the same as in newly revised Section 1.7. With respect to any violation that is a misdemeanor, the amount of the fine is that set forth in a resolution adopted by the City Council but in no event shall the fine exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
Section 1A.7 - Payment of Fines
Section 1A.7 has been revised to include the process for a hardship waiver to reduce the amount of the fine upon a showing by the responsible person that they have made a bona fide effort to comply after the first violation and that payment of the full amount of the fine for the second violation would be a hardship. The process is the same as set forth in Section 1.8.
11 - 3
First Reading of Ordinance Updating Provisions Related to Violations of the Code October 18, 2023
Section 1A.13 - Late Payment Charges
This section has been revised to include the amount of the late payment charges in the ordinance rather than in a fee schedule. For payments received within 30 days after the due date, the late fee is 50% of the fine due. For payment received more than 30 days after the due date, the late fee is 50% of the fine due plus an additional 10% for each month the fine is overdue up to a maximum amount of 110% of the overdue fine.
Revisions to Public Nuisance Provisions
At this time, there is one revision to Section 24.02 entitled “Nuisances and Property Maintenance.” A new paragraph was added to provide that any condition constituting an unsafe or substandard building is a nuisance.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed ordinance if the City Council introduces the ordinance.

City Council
Agenda Report
October 18, 2023
Armine Chaparyan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Sheila Pautsch, Community Services Director ITEM NO.
SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction Regarding the Use of Drones for the Fourth of July Event
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide staff direction regarding the use of drones during the annual Festival of Balloons/ Fourth of July Event.
Executive Summary
The City of South Pasadena and the Festival of Balloons Committee hosts the annual Event which includes a traditional firework show. As follow up to Council's direction, staff presents this informational report to the City Council for a discussion on the feasibility of a drone light show as an alternative to the traditional fireworks show.
Background
Since 1982, the Committee has planned and implemented the Events including the fireworks show. At the August 16, 2023, City Council meeting, Councilmember Cacciotti requested a discussion of a drone light show in place of a traditional fireworks and that the discussion also be referred to the Natural Resources Environmental Commission, Festival of Balloons Committee, and Public Safety Commission. Councilmember Braun provided a second to that request and added that staff provide a cost comparison of the two different options. In July 2023, the City coordinated the Event alongside the Committee. The current Fourth of July Fireworks show offers a sixteen-minute show at a cost of $30,590 and this cost increases annually. The estimated cost for 2024 is projected to be $35,590 for a traditional fireworks show.
Analysis
While drone light shows are more environmentally friendly, the cost can vary based on the size and type of show. This scenario brings awareness to the side effects of fireworks such as environmental and health impact and in lieu offers eco-entertainment alternatives such as drone light shows. Below is a chart regarding the pros and cons of drone light shows and traditional fireworks shows.
Discussion and Direction Regarding Use of Drones for Fourth of July Event October 18, 2023
Drone Light Show
Pros Cons
Environmentally friendly Expensive
Fire danger alternative. May cost less
depending on the number of drones used
in the show
The show only lasts 10 to 12 minutes in
length due to battery life of a drone
Pet friendly Only fly about 400 feet high
City has full creative control of the show
May cost less depending on the number
of drones used in the show
Fireworks
Pros Cons
Traditional show High levels of particle pollution due to fireworks can contribute to negative
health effects
The show can last as long as the client
wants
Loud noise scares pets
Proximity to the Monterey Hills area
where more vegetation and brush
hazards exist in the City.
The School District has asked the City to
use a fire-resistant cover over the fallout
zone on the field and track to protect it
from falling embers. The cost of the
covering is approximately $5,000, which
is a new cost to the event.
The cost of done light show is determined by the number of drones used to produce the show. The use of drones varies between 100 and 1000, depending on how much the City will fund. On average the cost is $250 to $400 per drone. In researching this option, some of the key components to consider include the following:
• Vendor owns or rents drones
• Vendor provides animation and design team in-house
• Vendor’s largest drone show produced (Number of drones used) • Vendor to obtain a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permit • Vendor integrates sound with the show production
Vendor Cost Estimates Based on the Number of Drones
Up to 150 Up to 250 Up to 500 Cost per
Drone
Largest show
produced
Grizzly
Entertainment $15,000 $25,000 $50,000 $100 500 drones
Sky Elements $60,000 $100,000 $200,000 $400 1500 drones Skyworx $37,500 $62,500 $125,000 $250 2000 drones

Discussion and Direction Regarding Use of Drones for Fourth of July Event October 18, 2023
Each vendor has worked with a city or organization within California, the United States, or abroad. Drone light shows have been used for various events such as high school graduations, brand launches, marriage proposals, gender reveals, music festivals, professional sporting events, and Fourth of July shows.
Grizzly Entertainment Sky Elements Skyworx
Cathedral City Parade (200

Carson High School

City of Brentwood – 4th of
July (150 drones)
iHeart Radio Music Awards
Los Angeles (400 drones)
Cathedral City, Laguna Nigel, Redondo Beach, and Brentwood are slowly making the shift to drone light shows as their city may be close in proximity to fire danger or the environmental effect of fireworks impacting ocean life. The cost of drone light shows is a major factor in cities making the change from traditional fireworks shows. The majority of cities have had between 150 and 500 drones for their show. 500 drones will provide an unforgettable drone light show. Drone light shows do not have the “boom” and “bang” of traditional firework shows but produce a quieter and less intrusive show to the community and environment.
Next Steps
The purpose of the agenda item is for Council to discuss the proposed Drone Show for the 4th of July holiday, and should Council wish to explore this option, direct Staff to present the proposed Drone Show to the Natural Resources and Environment Commission (NREC). After presentation to direction from NREC, staff can develop and release an Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids.
Alternatives
City Council may also consider the following alternatives to this recommendation or any others they may discuss as a part of this report:
1. Host a drone light show
2. Continue the traditional fireworks show
3. Hybrid show of drone lights and fireworks
Fiscal Impact
The current budget for the Event is $50,000, in account no. 101-8030-8031-8264, of which $30,590 is allocated for the fireworks show. For the 2024 Event, the fireworks show 12 - 3
Discussion and Direction Regarding Use of Drones for Fourth of July Event October 18, 2023
will increase by $5,000 with a total cost of $35,590 plus the cost of the turf cover at approximately $5,000 with Council direction.
Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan
This item is not part of the Community Services Department Key Performance Indicators identified in the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget or the Adopted 2021-2026 Strategic Plan.
Commission Review and Recommendation
This item was not reviewed by a Commission. Upon the outcome of the discussion and direction by the City Council, staff will then take this item to the appropriate commissions. 12 - 4

organics collection services and require all residents and businesses to divert organic waste (yard waste, food scraps, food-soiled paper, etc.) from landfills to recycling facilities starting January 1, 2022, as regulated by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). In addition, SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to establish an edible food recovery program, conduct education and outreach to the community, procure recyclable and recovered organic waste products for use within the City, secure access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity, and monitor compliance and conduct enforcement. Many jurisdictions delegate these tasks to their waste haulers.
Additional background information including the City’s organic waste ordinance, the City’s current exclusive refuse service agreement, the CalRecycle SB 1383 grant program, the Athens’ Contract Ad Hoc Committee, the City’s Notice of Intent to Comply, and the City’s Corrective Action Plan, can be found as attachments in the May 17, 2023 City Council Staff Report (Attachment 3).
Update to Current Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement
City staff have been working with the City’s franchise waste hauler, Athens Services, to update the Agreement, including the City’s refuse rates and services, to accommodate the additional services required by Senate Bill 1383. Athens Services has now proposed a total of five different rate adjustment options/service models for meeting the requirements of SB 1383: four options keep the current BYS model and one option proposes a hybrid BYS and Curbside Service model. To further assist staff in examining these options, the City retained the services of MSW Consultants and R3 Consulting (Consultants). In addition, the Consultants will assist staff in drafting a new comprehensive Agreement once direction is received from City Council.
May 17, 2023 City Council Direction
On May 17, 2023, City staff and the Consultants presented an analysis of these options to City Council (Attachment 3). Council requested Athens Services to provide a fourth option for consideration with a fixed term length of ten years, in contrast with the proposed rolling seven and rolling ten-year terms. In addition, Council requested to determine the possibility of phasing in any rate increases. Lastly, City staff were directed to conduct a community meeting to gather feedback on the two proposed service models: the current BYS model and the traditional Curbside Service model.
Analysis
Updated Proposed Options
Athens Services has updated their proposal to offer five options for meeting SB 1383 requirements. A fourth option of a BYS, fixed 10-year term and a fifth option of a BYS, rolling 7-year term have been added and all previous three options have also been modified to include the costs of new SB1383-compliant containers. 13 - 2
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
All options include the following compliance programs for both residential and commercial accounts in addition to the required organics collection and recycling:
1. Quarterly Contamination Monitoring
2. Quarterly Outreach and Education
3. Commercial Account Food Recovery Support and Compliance Assistance
4. Quarterly Waste Stream Analysis
5. Procurement Support of Recycled Organic Products
6. Data Management and Reporting
To fulfill the residential and commercial organics collection and recycling service component, Athens has offered the five options summarized below. Attachment 1 provides a summary of Athens’ proposed options in a table format.
OPTION 1
1. Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area.
o Athens will provide each resident with up to 7 new black and green, 32-gallon barrels for an additional 8.75% rate increase. Athens will replace the barrels at no cost as needed after 5 years.
o This will include service by 8 unleaded BYS pick-up trucks and 2 Renewable Compressed Natural Gas (RCNG) front loaders (mother trucks), with one pass per resident with both mixed waste (trash and recyclables) and organics being placed into the same BYS truck.
o Mixed waste will be processed at Athens’ Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to separate recyclables. Organics (food scraps and yard waste), will be transferred at the MRF and transported to American Organics (AO) to be processed into compost.
2. Athens will institute a new residential & commercial 14.00% rate adjustment for SB 1383 programs upon the effective date of the Amendment, in addition to the regular annual rate adjustment that occurs on July 1.
3. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin (dumpster) customers upon the effective date of the Amendment.
o For all bin (dumpster) customers (commercial, multi-family, or residential) who require organics containers, Athens will provide multiple 36- and/or 64-gallon organics containers, per individual customer’s service level needs. 13 - 3
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
o Athens will provide these organics containers at discounted rates for the life of the contract, discounted 15% below the current “pay-as-you-throw” rates in the approved rate schedule.
OPTION 2
1. Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area (see Option 1, Item 1 above, with exception below). o Athens will provide each resident with up to 7 new black and green, 32-gallon barrels for no additional cost. Athens will replace the barrels at no cost as needed after 5 years.
2. Athens will not institute a rate adjustment to BYS rates for SB 1383 programs upon the effective date of the Amendment. Regular annual rate adjustment will occur on July 1, 2024.
3. Athens will institute an extraordinary rate adjustment of 20.00% over 2 phase-in periods to all rates other than the BYS residential rate, as follows:
Effective with amendment = 10.00%
Effective July 1, 2024 = 10.00% + regular annual rate adjustment
4. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin (dumpster) customers upon the effective date of the Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above).
5. Athens will provide an “Electric Truck Pilot Program” for the residential BYS service.
At no additional cost, when an electric truck becomes available that has the ability to perform the same work in a day that a current BYS truck currently provides, Athens will acquire this electric truck and exchange it temporarily for a three-month period with one of the current BYS trucks operating in South Pasadena. Upon completion of the three-month pilot program period, Athens will determine if the electric truck’s performance is adequate and if a proposal to use all electric BYS trucks is desired by the City. If so, Athens will provide a proposal to change all unleaded BYS trucks to electric BYS trucks, and what affect that program would have on the rates.
6. Athens will continue to provide the Bus Stop Barrel Pick-up service & City Garage Sweeping service, at the current monthly service levels, at no additional charge to the City. This is proposed as an approximately $40,000.00 per year savings to the City.
7. The contract rolling term will be modified from a 7-year rolling term to a 10-year rolling term.
8. During the phase-in period from the amendment effective date through June 2025, the rolling term shall automatically renew. This is the period in which Athens is providing 13 - 4
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
rates to be phased-in per #2 & #3 above. The regular renewal term of the contract would start again July 1, 2025.
9. The annual rate adjustment formula in the contract will be modified from using the “Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim area”, to using the “CPI for Trash & Garbage Collection, US City Average” + 1%. Both of these CPI indexes are published on a monthly basis by the same governmental agency, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The current CPI index used in the Agreement accounts for residential homes and the cost of goods that residents are faced with (milk, bread, eggs, etc.). Athens has proposed that this index is unrelated to the trash industry, and as a result, the actual operating costs outpace the rate adjustments that are based on the described ‘household’ CPI. Athens has proposed that using an index that is related to the trash industry helps to cover the actual costs that the hauler is faced with.
OPTION 3
1. Change from the current BYS program to a traditional automated side loader curbside service program for most residents.
o The majority of residents (except for #2 below, or as otherwise needed) will receive three new 64-gallon carts (barrels with wheels): one 64-gallon black cart for trash, one 64-gallon blue cart for recyclables, and one 64-gallon green cart for organics (food scraps and yard waste).
o This would include service by three new RCNG side loader trucks. Instead of 1-pass with a BYS truck, customers will see 3 passes with 3 different side loader trucks.
o Trash will be transferred at Athens’ MRF and transported to a landfill.
Recyclables will be processed at Athens’ MRF. Organics (food scraps and yard waste) will be transferred at the MRF and transported to AO to be processed into compost.
2. For residential and multifamily BYS customers located in areas where Athens is unable to provide curbside service, there will be a change from the current 1-pass BYS program to a 2-pass BYS program. This will affect approximately 700 accounts that are in a “hard to service” area where the streets are too narrow for any type of automated side loader vehicle to navigate. This model would also apply to approximately 60 multi-family accounts that have five or more units where curbside service would not be realistic for the large number of units and barrels. These 760 accounts would need to remain with BYS service using only two unleaded BYS trucks and one RCNG front loader.
13 - 5
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
3. The proposed Curbside rate is $31.00 per month and the proposed BYS rate is $101.00 per month.
o The Curbside Service rate includes the cost of 3 new carts for residential accounts.
o BYS accounts will require an additional rate adjustment of 8.75% to cover the costs of up to 7 new 32-gallon barrels per BYS account.
4. Institute a 30% extraordinary rate adjustment over 2 phase-in periods to all rates other than the Curbside and BYS residential rates in #2 above, as follows:
Effective with amendment = 15.00%
Effective July 1, 2024 = 15.00% + regular annual rate adjustment
5. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin (dumpster) customers upon effective date of Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above).
6. Athens will continue to provide the Bus Stop Barrel Pick-up service & City Garage Sweeping service, at the current monthly service levels, at no additional charge to the City. This is proposed as an approximately $40,000.00 per year savings to the City.
7. The contract rolling term will be modified from a 7-year rolling term to a 10-year rolling term.
8. During the phase-in period from an amendment effective date through June 2025, the rolling term shall automatically renew. This is the period in which Athens is providing rates to be phased-in per #4 & #5 above. The regular renewal features would start again July 1, 2025.
9. Modify the annual rate adjustment formula in the contract from “CPI” to “Trash CPI” + 1% (see the explanation in Option 2, Item 9).
OPTION 4
1. Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area (see Option 1, Item 1 above).
2. Athens will institute a new 30.00% extraordinary rate adjustment for all services over 2 phase-in periods as follows:
Effective with amendment = 15.00%
Effective July 1, 2024 = 15.00% + annual rate adjustment
3. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin (dumpster) customers upon effective date of Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above). 13 - 6
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
4. The contract rolling term will be modified from a 7-year rolling term to a 10-year fixed term, with two 5-year extensions that Athens receives only if specific compliance metrics are met.
OPTION 5
1. Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area (see Option 1, Item 1 above, with exception below). o Athens will provide each resident with up to 7 new black and green, 32-gallon barrels for no additional cost. Athens will replace the barrels at no cost as needed after 5 years.
2. Athens will not institute a rate adjustment to BYS rates for SB 1383 programs upon the effective date of the Amendment. Regular annual rate adjustment will occur on July 1, 2024.
3. Athens will institute a 30% extraordinary rate adjustment over 2 phase-in periods to all rates other than the BYS residential rate, as follows:
Effective with amendment = 15.00%
Effective July 1, 2024 = 15.00% + regular annual rate adjustment
4. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin (dumpster) customers upon effective date of Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above).
5. Athens will continue to provide the Bus Stop Barrel Pick-up service & City Garage Sweeping service, at the current monthly service levels, at no additional charge to the City. This is proposed as an approximately $40,000.00 per year savings to the City.
6. The contract term will remain a 7-year rolling term, and will include a 3-year “meet & confer” process if the intent to terminate the agreement is given. The 7-year rolling term will become fixed and begin to wind down after the 3-year period and only if both parties are unable to resolve the issues that triggered the intent to terminate. o If, and only if, the 7-year rolling term becomes fixed and begins to wind down after the 3-year “meet & confer” period is over, a 14.00% rate adjustment will be applied to the BYS rates.
7. Modify the annual rate adjustment formula in the contract from “CPI” to “Trash CPI” + 1% (see the explanation in Option 2, Item 9).
o After 10 years, the +1% will be removed.

City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
Community Outreach
In 2022, City staff conducted a survey to gather information on current practices and community preferences on service models. The survey received 465 responses and showed that respondents were relatively even-split on their preference between BYS and Curbside. See Attachment 3 for complete results of the survey.
Per Council’s direction and to ensure a transparent and collaborative process, City staff, Consultants, and Athens Services, hosted a Solid Waste Community Feedback Session on July 20 to answer questions from the community and to solicit feedback on the proposed Athens options. The session presentation included an overview of the information provided to Council on May 17th. More than 120 community members attended the 2.5 hour meeting. The presentation, along with a Frequently Asked Questions document based on attendees’ questions, is available on the City’s organics recycling webpage (www.SouthPasadenaCA.gov/OrganicsRecycling) and attached (Attachment 2). Community members can continue to provide feedback and ask questions by emailing [email protected]. Below is a summary of the comments/concerns from the community session:
• In general, attendees spoke both in favor and against each service model discussed, and attendees expressed both satisfaction and disappointment with the service they receive from Athens Services.
• There were complaints regarding the cost of “Backyard Service” given that many residents, especially those in the southwest hills area, do not have backyards.
These residents bring their containers to their front yards, and as a result, feel they are ‘overpaying’ for a partial service that those with backyards receive in full. As a note, the Athens staff and equipment necessary to provide the current service is the same for each residence, whether or not the resident has a backyard; Athens staff manually collect trash regardless of where the containers are located on the property.
• Questions were asked about how Curbside Service would impact parking, particularly where parking is limited in some areas, and how this will change with an increase in housing density, or whether there would need to be ‘no parking days.’ Other concerns were raised over the appearance of containers placed in the streets, and the need to use three different trucks to collect the three different containers. Questions were raised about the larger trucks and their impact to the street surfaces.
• Questions were asked about why rates might increase and if there was an option where the service and the rates stayed the same, to which the presenters responded, yes, with an extension of Athens’ contract term (Option 2). 13 - 8
City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update
October 18, 2023
• A concern was raised related to the contract term length and fees shown in the rates (recycling fee, franchise fee, etc.), and why these are not shown in the bill. • Attendees requested to review the Athens proposed options in more detail, rather than only comment on the service model options.
• Attendees requested more information on the environmental impacts of both service models. An evaluation of the impacts of emissions, noise, number of vehicles, etc. of the service options would require an in-depth study and lengthy analysis.
• Many residents communicated general customer service issues. During the session, City staff offered for those experiencing individual service issues to connect with staff or Athens after the meeting to seek a resolution.
Next Steps
Per Council’s direction and to ensure compliance with the CAP, staff may conduct the following next steps:
1. Return to Council with a revised draft Agreement per Council’s direction of SB 1383 implementation.
2. Once a revised Agreement is drafted per Councils, direction, conduct a Proposition 218 Public Hearing for rate changes.
3. Per the CAP, implement new collection services, among other state-mandated requirements, by March 1, 2024.
Fiscal Impact
Residential and commercial refuse rates, which are paid by customers directly to Athens, must be adjusted to accommodate the additional organics collection and recycling services required by SB 1383. The rate changes will depend on which proposed option(s) are included in the contract amendment. Proposed impacts to the City’s budget, e.g. franchise fee collection, have not yet been analyzed in this process.
Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan
This item is in line with Task 4a of the City’s Strategic Plan: Implement Climate Action Plan for environmental initiatives. It also aligns with the City’s Green Action Plan, Goal III, to divert organics from landfill and to implement the requirements of Senate Bill 1383.
Commission Review and Recommendation
This item was not reviewed by a commission; however, has been previously discussed by the Athens’ Contract Ad Hoc Committee.

Solid Waste Consultants
to Local Government
Overview• Purpose of Community Feedback Session• Overview of Athens Services• New Solid Waste Regulations: Senate Bill 1383• Current Waste Hauling Services• Option for Council Consideration• Next Steps• Q & A + Community Feedback 2 Why are we here?
• There’s a new state law that will affect the trash services in South Pasadena: the law is called Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383). • To accommodate the requirements of the new law, the current waste hauling agreement with Athens Services must be updated. • Athens has provided City Council with a few options on how the agreement can be updated to accommodate the new law and new required services. One of the options proposes a change from the current Backyard Service model to a Curbside Service model.
• City Council reviewed these options at the May 17, 2023 City Council meeting and requested for Athens to make certain adjustments to the options. City Council has not yet decided on which option to choose pending their requested adjustments and the community’s feedback on the potential switch to the Curbside Service model. The adjusted options will be brought to Council at a later date (date of meeting to be determined).
3 Why are we here?
• Today, we are seeking to:
inform and educate the community on the new
law (SB 1383)
review the different proposed service models
to accommodate the law
answer community questions and solicit

23 Current Waste Hauling Services
Potential Service Changes
What do current services look like and
what are the challenges?
What are the options for service models?
24 13 - 22
7 Current “Backyard” Service
Drivers pick up containers placed anywhere
on the property that is accessible
(“backyard”) whether or not the property
has a backyard
There are currently 2 waste streams:
1. Mixed Waste (Trash + Recyclables)2. Organics (Yard Waste + Food Scraps) Pick‐up trucks pick up both mixed waste
and organics and transfer them to a
“mother truck”
1. Mixed Waste is processed for recyclables at
MRF
2. Organics are transported to American
Organics to be processed into compost
Current Fleet:
• 8 unleaded gasoline pick‐up trucks• 2 Renewable CNG front loader trucks 25 Current Backyard Service
26 Drivers pick up customer containers from their property and dispose into a pick-up truck with two compartments: one for mixed waste and one for food/yard waste.
Current Backyard Service
27 Pick-up trucks drive to parked “mother trucks” that change locations throughout the day.
Current Backyard Service
28 Each compartment is emptied into its designated “mother truck.” 13 - 23
8 Backyard Service Challenges
29 Narrow streets in the hillside areas don’t allow trucks that are larger than the current pick-up trucks to pass through.
Option for Council Consideration
Customers would have to source separate all
trash into 3 categories (instead of 2):
1. Trash/Landfill2. Recyclables3. Organics (yard waste + food scraps) Customers would have to roll carts to the
curb on trash day
3 different side‐loader trucks would pick up
each cart on the same day
1. Trash would go straight to Landfill2. Recyclables would be processed at a MRF3. Organics would be transported to American Organics to be processed into compost
30 Move to Curbside Collection with 3-cart system
One of the options that has been proposed for complying with the new law is to switch to a Curbside Collection model. This would entail the following:
Option for Council Consideration
Trash rates will decrease by approximately
$10‐$20 for most accounts in the City except
for those located in “Hard‐to‐Service Areas”
Hard‐to‐Service Areas (HTS):
Approximately 700 accounts must remain with
the current Backyard Service due to narrow
streets (cannot switch to Curbside Service)
Trash rates for these accounts will increase
significantly if the rest of the City switches to
Curbside Service
Curbside Fleet:
• 2 unleaded gasoline pick‐up trucks (HTS)• 1 Renewable CNG front loader truck (HTS)• 3 Renewable CNG side loader trucks 31 Move to Curbside Collection with 3-cart system
One of the options that has been proposed for complying with the new law is to switch to a Curbside Collection model. This would entail the following:
Hard‐to‐Service Streets
This map depicts the streets (in red) that would not be able to switch to Curbside Service. 32 13 - 24
9 Next Steps
1. Gather community questions, concerns, and feedback.2. At a future City Council meeting (date to be determined), present to City Council the adjusted proposed options from Athens and the gathered community feedback.
a. During the meeting, City Council will select an option and make a final decision on whether or not to keep the current Backyard Service or switch to Curbside Service.
3. A new Athens Agreement will be drafted to incorporate Council’s decision and will be presented to City Council for approval at a following City Council meeting.
4. Once a new Agreement is approved:
a. New containers will be deployed to all trash accountsb. City and Athens will conduct outreach and provide education on the changes to the trash services

Frequently Asked Questions
www.SouthPasadenaCA.gov/OrganicsRecycling
General Questions
1. What is happening?
The agreement with the City’s waste hauler, Athens Services, is being amended to accommodate new organics recycling requirements. Athens has provided City Council with a few options on how the agreement can be updated. One of the options proposes a change from the current Backyard Service model to a Curbside Service model.
2. Why is this happening?
There is a new state law, called Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) that requires jurisdictions to provide organics recycling services (among other things) to all of their trash customers. To accommodate this new law, the City must update its current agreement with Athens.
3. Has a decision been made, yet?
No, City Council has not made a decision on how the agreement will be updated or whether or not they will change the service model. City Council received an informational update on May 17, 2023 on potential agreement changes and requested additional information from Athens.
Athens and City Staff will return to Council at a future City Council meeting (date to be determined) to present final options and community feedback to Council. At this meeting, it is likely that City Council will reach a decision on what changes will be made to the Athens agreement.
4. When does this go into effect?
Organics collection for single-family homes is already in effect. Residents should dispose food scraps and food-soiled paper in their yard waste containers. Any changes to waste collection and the expansion of organics collection to multifamily and commercial will begin after Council direction and is anticipated to be completed by mid-2024.
5. What are the options City Council is considering?
There are three options City Council has been presented with for amending the Athens agreement. The first two options remain with the current Backyard Service with a rate increase to accommodate the additional organics recycling service and other SB 1383 requirements. The third option changes the service model to curbside for most of the City at a reduced cost (hard to service areas would see an increase in costs and would have to remain with “backyard” service). Other components of each option include adjustments to the contract term, annual CPI adjustment, fleet, processing, etc. Detailed information on the options can be found in the May 17, 2023 Staff Report for Item #23. City Council has asked for a fourth option from Athens which would include Backyard Service and a fixed term. Athens is currently preparing the fourth option.
13 - 27
6. How long is the current contract term?
The current contract term is a rolling 7 year term. This means that every year the contract automatically renews for 7 years. If the termination of the contract is triggered, it would take 7 years for the contract to terminate.
7. What is diversion?
Diversion, in the context of waste disposal, occurs when waste that can be recycled is rerouted from a landfill to other facilities for recycling.
8. What are Hard-to-Service Areas?
Hard-to-Service Areas are areas in the City (approximately 700 accounts) that are difficult to access with larger trucks due to narrow roads or other accessibility issues (mainly affects hillsides and multifamily). These areas will remain with their current waste services regardless of any changes to services for the rest of the City. See below for a map of the areas considered to be Hard-to-Service.
Questions Regarding Containers & Waste Stream
1. Can I continue to use my own containers for waste collection? No, under the new law, customer-provided containers are not compliant. Regardless of the service model, customers will receive new standardized containers that comply with SB1383’s labeling and color requirements.
13 - 28
2. What would happen to our old containers when we are provided with new standardized containers?
Residents will have the option to either keep their containers or have Athens collect and recycle them. Residents will be informed of a pick-up date where they can bring out their old containers to the curb for Athens to collect and recycle. If residents wish to keep their containers, they can; however, they will no longer be allowed to use them for waste collection.
3. Who will pay for the new containers and how much will they cost? The cost of the new containers will be incorporated into the new trash rates. The cost of the new containers will be amortized over the life of the contract.
4. How will we know what is acceptable in the green/organics container? Currently, residents can visit the City’s Organics Recycling webpage at www.SouthPasadenaCA.gov/OrganicsRecycling to view a list of acceptable items in the green/organics container. Athens and the City will conduct additional outreach to educate residents on what items to place in which containers. Additionally, the new containers will be labeled providing more information on acceptable items.
5. If the City switches to curbside, what will the new containers look like? How many containers will I receive and what size will they be?
If the City switches to Curbside, the new containers for single-family homes will look like the traditional rolling carts. Residents will receive three 64-gallon barrels (1 black, 1 blue, 1 green).
Residents will have the option to increase barrel size to 96 gallon (additional cost) or decrease to 35 gallon (lower cost). The barrels will have two back wheels and an attached lid. Containers for residents with bins, multifamily, and commercial are being determined.
6. If the City remains with Backyard Service, what will the new containers look like? How many containers will I receive and what size will they be?
If the City remains with Backyard Service, the new containers for single-family homes will be 32 gallons in size, will be black (for trash and recyclables) and green (for yard and organic waste), will not have wheels, and will have durable lids that deter common pests if the lids are placed on correctly and trash is not overflowing. Residents will receive 6 barrels and will be able to choose how many of each color they would like. Additional containers can be requested at an additional cost. Containers for residents with bins, multifamily, and commercial are being determined.
7. Is it possible to have a service model with 4 waste streams where food waste is not mixed in with yard waste in order to mulch the yard waste at a lower cost? Having an additional process (mulching) would incur an additional cost and would not lower the overall costs for processing. In addition, 4 waste streams would require 4 trucks and separate containers. Lastly, AB 1594 does not allow the City to take green waste to landfills as landfill cover for diversion credit. Meaning, the green waste will need to be composted, anyway. It is more efficient and cost-effective to collect yard waste and food waste together. 13 - 29
8. Where does our green waste currently go?
Currently, green waste, which includes yard waste, food scraps, and food-soiled paper, is transported to the American Organics facility in Victorville, CA where it is processed and turned into organic compost. Green waste will continue to be processed at American Organics.
9. Does Athens really recycle?
Yes. Recyclables are sorted at Athens’ Materials Recovery Facility located in Sun Valley, CA for materials that the market will allow for. Athens only disposes materials that cannot be recycled.
The public is welcome to tour the facility and can learn more about their recycling process by visiting: www.AthensServices.com/Sun-Valley-MRF.
Questions Regarding the Potential Switch to a Curbside Model
1. If the City switches to Curbside with three waste streams, will there be three trash days? No, there will be one trash day with three different trash trucks.
2. If the City switches to Curbside, will parking need to be restricted on trash days? Has the City considered issues with parking restrictions and traffic considering the planned increase in housing in the City?
It is possible that on some streets, parking will need to be restricted on trash days. Not all streets will need to restrict parking. Parking restrictions and traffic are factors that City Council will consider when deciding on which service model to choose.
3. If the City switches to Curbside, how will that affect what happens on my street? With curbside service, residents can expect trash carts rolled to the curb on one trash day. On their trash day, residents can expect three different trucks to pass their street to pick up the three different carts. Parking might be restricted on certain streets. In Hard-to-Service areas, backyard service will continue as before and there will be no changes to parking, collection vehicles, or cart placement.
4. If the City switches to Curbside, how will I roll my carts to the curb if I am elderly or disabled? Athens offers a “rollaway” service for the elderly and disabled where drivers will exit their trucks and roll your containers to the curb and back for you. It is not yet determined if this service would incur an additional cost.
5. If the City switches to Curbside, how will damages caused by their large trucks be handled? Residents can open a claim with Athens Customer Service for any damages caused by Athens.
6. If the City switches to Curbside, will Athens have to lay off their drivers/employees? No, Athens will not lose any employees over any service changes. Athens will work with employees to find them other positions within their organization. 13 - 30
7. If the City switches to Curbside, will there be an increase in scavenging and how will that be handled?
It is possible that there might be an increase in scavenging. Once a trash container is brought to the curb, there is no longer an expectation of ownership of the trash; therefore, scavenging is not considered theft and there is no crime.
8. If the City switches to Curbside, will there be an incentive to use less trash? If residents in single-family homes reduce any of their waste, they can request smaller containers (35 gallons) at a lower cost.
Questions Regarding Rates
1. How will the trash rates be affected under both service models? Trash rates will depend on which option City Council decides on. Updated options with rates will be presented to City Council at a future Council meeting (date to be determined). Generally, a Curbside Service model will likely result in lowered rates for most of the City and a Backyard Service model will likely result in slightly higher rates for the entire City. If Council decides to remain with Backyard Service, rates for Hard-to-Service accounts will be the same as the rest of the City. If Council decides to switch to a Curbside Service model, rates for Hard-to-Service accounts will increase due to Athens running two different operations simultaneously.
2. If the City switches to Curbside, the rate for the residents in Hard-to-Service areas will increase significantly because Athens must operate a different service in these specific areas. a. Has Athens/City considered working with neighboring cities who have Backyard Service to ameliorate some of the costs of operation?
Yes, Athens has explored the possibility of combining services across their service areas.
Unfortunately, this strategy would not be feasible.
b. Can the two different rates be evened out throughout the City? In other words, can residents who have the lower cost of Curbside Service pay more to subsidize the higher cost of the residents who must remain with Backyard Service? The City has looked into this option. Unfortunately, the City has determined that, legally, one set of rate payers cannot subsidize another set of rate payers for a different service.
3. Why are we paying for Backyard Service if Athens doesn’t technically come to my backyard? Although the name of the service is called “Backyard,” this service involves drivers stepping out of their vehicles and manually picking up containers placed anywhere on the property that is accessible (“backyard”) whether or not the property actually has a backyard. Containers can be placed in the customer’s backyard, front yard, driveway, etc. as long as it is accessible. The basis of “Backyard” service is that customers do not need to move their containers to the curb for an automated collection. Rather, they can leave their containers anywhere that is accessible and the drivers will retrieve their containers for them.
13 - 31
4. Why can’t I get a discount if I place my containers in my front yard or driveway as opposed to my backyard?
The vehicles used and the process for waste collection is the same no matter where you place your containers on your property. The driver still needs to step out of their vehicle, walk to the container, bring it back to the truck, manually empty it into the truck, and place the container back in its spot. Therefore, the costs are the same.
5. Why is there a price increase if all we’re doing is taking food waste from our trash containers and disposing them in our existing green waste containers? The cost of handling/processing organic waste increases when food waste is added, due to increased weight and volume. Furthermore, to be compliant with SB1383, the City must implement other components of the law in addition to organics collection. These components include establishing an edible food recovery program, conducting education and outreach, procuring recovered organic products, conducting quarterly waste characterizations, and monitoring compliance (lid flipping). Athens Services will be assisting the City in meeting these additional requirements along with providing organics waste collection and recycling. The new rates will cover the additional services and assistance provided by Athens.
6. What are the other fees that are paid by trash customers? South Pasadena trash bills include a 3% Billing Fee (1.5% retained by Athens for their billing services and 1.5% received by the City) and a 9.4% Franchise Fee.
If you have questions or concerns regarding trash collection specifically from your property, please contact Athens Services Customer Service at (888) 336-6100. 13 - 32

Agenda Report ITEM NO. ___
DATE: May 17, 2023
FROM: Arminé Chaparyan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: H. Ted Gerber, Public Works Director
Arpy Kasparian, Environmental Services & Sustainability Manager SUBJECT: Receive Update and Provide Direction on Next Steps for the Update of the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Related to the Implementation of SB 1383 Requirements
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council receive a staff presentation and provide direction on next steps for the update of the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement related to the implementation of SB 1383 requirements.
Executive Summary
In 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (Short-Lived Climate Pollutants) was signed into law in a statewide effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, namely methane emissions created by organic waste. Pursuant to SB 1383, jurisdictions are mandated to provide organics collection services, establish an edible food recovery program, conduct education and outreach to the community, procure recyclable and recovered organic waste products for use within the City, secure access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity, monitor compliance, and conduct enforcement.
City staff have been working with the City’s franchise waste hauler, Athens Services, to update the current exclusive refuse service agreement (Agreement) to include the added services required by the law. The City’s refuse rates and services must be adjusted to accommodate the additional waste hauling services required by SB 1383. Athens Services has proposed three different rate adjustment options/service models for meeting the requirements of SB 1383: two options keep the current Backyard Service (BYS) model, and one option for a hybrid BYS and Curbside Service model. South Pasadena’s current BYS model includes individual Athens pickup trucks visiting customers and manually collecting trash barrels from the driveway or backyard with a pickup truck.
The proposed Curbside Service model would generally consist of customers bringing barrels to the street curb for pickup by a larger truck. An analysis of all options is included in the report. Staff recommends City Council review the analysis provided and provide staff direction on next steps.

Background
Senate Bill 1383
In 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (Short-Lived Climate Pollutants) was signed into law in a statewide effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, namely methane emissions created by organic waste. The bill established targets to achieve a 75% reduction in disposal of organic waste by 2025. In addition, the bill aims to rescue at least 20% of currently disposed edible food for the millions of Californians experiencing food insecurity.
Pursuant to SB 1383, jurisdictions are mandated to provide organics collection services and require all residents and businesses to divert organic waste (yard waste, food scraps, food-soiled paper, etc.) from landfills to recycling facilities starting January 1, 2022, as regulated by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). In addition, SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to establish an edible food recovery program, conduct education and outreach to the community, procure recyclable and recovered organic waste products for use within the City, secure access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity, and monitor compliance and conduct enforcement.
Many jurisdictions delegate these tasks to their waste haulers.
City Ordinance and Implementation
The City of South Pasadena has taken several steps to meet the requirements of SB 1383. In 2021, the Athens’ Contract Ad Hoc Committee was created to negotiate an amendment (Amendment) to the current exclusive refuse service agreement (Agreement) with the City’s franchise waste hauler, Athens Services, to ensure compliance with the collection requirements of the mandate. In November 2021, the City joined the San Gabriel Valley Regional Food Recovery Program to comply with SB 1383’s edible food recovery regulations. Lastly, in December 2021, the South Pasadena City Council adopted the Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Ordinance. Food scrap collection for single-family homes began in South Pasadena on January 1, 2022.
The City is working to update the current Agreement with Athens Services in order to fulfill the remaining requirements of SB 1383 which include: providing organics collection services to all residents and businesses, conducting education and outreach to the community, procuring recyclable and recovered organic waste products for use within the City, monitoring compliance, and reporting.
Current Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement
The City of South Pasadena’s Agreement with Athens Services was established in the year 2000 (Attachment 1) and was amended once in 2017 (Attachment 2). It is currently a seven-year evergreen contract, meaning it is on a rolling term and is renewed every year for another seven years. Therefore, termination of the contract would take seven years. Per the amended agreement, Athens Services provides Backyard Service to single-family residences, Bin Service to non-residential and multi-residential properties, Street Sweeping Services, Bus Stop Barrel Pick-Up, City Garage Sweeping Service, and community events such as Dumpster Day. In addition, the City, on a monthly basis, receives 9.4% of gross receipts as a franchise fee, 1.5% as an administrative fee, and 2 13 - 36
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
3% as a billing fee. The City also receives $65,000 every seven years for the City Yard refuse handling.
CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program
To assist with the implementation of regulation requirements, Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) offered the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program, a non-competitive grant program providing one-time funding to local jurisdictions. These funds can be used to assist the jurisdiction in the various components of SB 1383 including capacity planning, collection, edible food recovery, education and outreach, enforcement and inspection, program evaluation, procurement requirements, and record keeping. City staff applied and the City was awarded $37,204. City staff anticipate prioritizing the funds for items that would assist residents and businesses with food scrap separation and collection, which may include organics barrels, food waste pails, education and outreach materials such as signage and labels, etc. Other items that are being considered are recordkeeping software and personnel costs.
Athens’ Contract Ad Hoc Committee
In 2021, the Athens’ Contract Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc Committee) was created to negotiate an Amendment to the current Agreement with the City’s franchise waste hauler, Athens Services, to ensure compliance with the collection requirements of SB 1383.
Consisting of two councilmembers and two Natural Resources and Environmental Commission commissioners, the Ad Hoc Committee met several times to review and discuss the components of SB 1383, the current Agreement terms, and the proposed rate adjustments from Athens Services.
Notice of Intent to Comply
As jurisdictions prepared to implement SB 1383 regulations, many local governments faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, Governor Newsom signed SB 619 (Laird, Chapter 508, Statutes of 2021) into law to support local governments as they designed and implemented successful organic waste recycling programs throughout the state. The law authorized CalRecycle to waive civil penalties if a jurisdiction submitted a Notification of Intent to Comply (NOIC) for some or all of the regulatory requirements and successfully implemented a plan to correct their violations. Per City Council approval, City staff submitted a NOIC to CalRecycle as a precaution to ensure that the City is protected against any penalties.
The City’s NOIC, which was approved by CalRecycle, included a schedule and plan of completion of the following items:
1. Implementation of commercial and multifamily organic waste program.
2. Container color and labeling requirements.
3. Processing waivers granted by the jurisdiction.
4. Ongoing organic waste recovery education and outreach.
5. Procurement of recovered organic waste product and associated recordkeeping.
3 13 - 37
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
6. Development and implementation of paper procurement policy and associated recordkeeping.
Corrective Action Plan
As City staff and the Ad Hoc Committee have continued to work on the updates to the Athens Agreement to include the various components of SB 1383, CalRecycle has continued to monitor the City’s progress. CalRecycle has determined that violations identified in the NOIC that will take more than 180 days to correct may be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). City staff and CalRecycle worked together to create an updated schedule of actions necessary for the City to address the violations disclosed in the NOIC and on March 29, 2023, CalRecycle approved and issued the City of South Pasadena a CAP (Attachment 3). CalRecycle will continue to monitor the City’s implementation of the actions identified in the CAP from the date of issuance through March 1, 2024 (“the oversight period”), when all implementation actions must be completed. During the oversight period, the City will submit status reports to CalRecycle and attend status meetings with CalRecycle to demonstrate the ongoing progress the City is making on remedying the violations described in the CAP.
Analysis
The City’s refuse rates and services must be adjusted to accommodate the additional waste hauling services required by SB 1383. Considering the necessary changes to the Agreement and feedback received from the community, the Ad Hoc Committee requested Athens Services provide a proposed rate adjustment for changing service models from Backyard Service to Curbside Service in addition to the required components of SB 1383.
Thus, Athens Services has proposed three different rate adjustment options/service models for meeting the requirements of SB 1383: two options keeping the current BYS model and one option for a hybrid BYS and Curbside Service model. All options proposed include Athens providing organics collection, quarterly contamination monitoring of organics containers, quarterly outreach and education, commercial account food recovery visits, support, and compliance assistance, quarterly waste stream analysis, procurement support of recycled organic products, and data management and reporting of all SB 1383 programs.
To further assist staff in examining these options, the City retained the services of MSW Consultants and R3 Consulting (Consultants). The Consultants provided analyses on how the rates for each option compare to neighboring cities and provided insight on the components of each option. The Consultants will assist staff in drafting a new comprehensive Agreement once a rate adjustment and service level is agreed upon.
Proposed Options
Athens Services has proposed three options for meeting SB 1383 requirements. All options include the following compliance programs for both residential and commercial accounts in addition to the required organics collection and recycling:
4 13 - 38
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
• Quarterly Contamination Monitoring: Athens will conduct quarterly organics route reviews to monitor contamination by performing hands-on visual checks of organic containers (lid flipping).
• Quarterly Outreach and Education: Athens Recycling Coordinators will conduct in-person visits annually to all commercial and multifamily accounts, and as needed or as requested to residential customers. Visits will include waste assessments, edible food requirement support, service level assistance, waiver eligibility, and contamination follow-ups. Quarterly recycling newsletters will be mailed out to all customers or emailed to paperless accounts. • Commercial Account Food Recovery Support and Compliance Assistance:
Athens will provide assistance and support with all qualified commercial food generators that are subject to this requirement.
• Quarterly Waste Stream Analysis: Athens will fulfill the SB 1383 requirement of performing a specific number of characterizations every quarter for specific waste streams of inbound material, recyclable recovery, organic recovery, and residue going to landfill.
• Procurement Support of Recycled Organic Products: Athens will assist in compliance with this requirement through the use of renewable compressed natural gas (RCNG) utilized in their collection vehicles and through the compost produced at Athens’ American Organics (AO) facility.
• Data Management and Reporting: SB1383 requires jurisdictions to monitor contamination, issue notices of violations, track all organics collection and diversion, and to report this information to CalRecycle. Athens will capture all required data through their web based reporting system that the City can interface, review, and gather data as needed. Athens will also have adequate data to support the City with enforcement actions.
To fulfill the residential and commercial organics collection and recycling service component, Athens has offered the three options summarized below. Also see Attachment 4 for a table format of Athens’ proposed options.
Though the options have been discussed at length with the Ad Hoc Committee, reviewed by the City’s consultant, and evaluated by staff for compliance with SB 1383 requirements, they have not been vetted with regard to legal implications of the specific terms, conditions, adjustments, and other proposed components, and their relation to existing statutes or recent case law precedent. This evaluation will occur with the development of the revised draft Agreement, to be brought to Council at a later date.
OPTION 1
• Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area. This would include service by 8 unleaded BYS pick-up trucks and 2 RCNG front loaders (mother trucks), with one pass per resident with both mixed waste (trash and recyclables) and organics being placed into a BYS truck. Mixed waste 5 13 - 39
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
is processed to segregate recyclables at Athens’ Material Recovery Facility (MRF).
Organics, including food and yard waste, are transferred at the MRF and transported to American Organics (AO) for organics processing into compost. • Provide new residential & commercial rates for SB 1383 programs upon the effective date of the Amendment. Residential and Commercial 14.00% rate adjustment, in addition to the regular annual rate adjustment that occurs on July
1.Institute discounted organic rates for all bin customers (commercial and multifamily) upon the effective date of the Amendment. For all qualified bin customers (commercial, multi-family, or residential) who require a source separated organics automated barrel per the SB1383 law, Athens will provide multiple 30 and/or 60 gallon organic containers, per individual customer’s service level needs. Athens will provide these organic barrels at discounted rates for the life of the contract, discounted 15% below the current “pay-as-you-throw” rates in the approved rate schedule.
OPTION 2
1. Leave the current backyard service (BYS) program “as is” for the entire residential area (see Option 1, Item 1 above).
2. Athens will provide an “Electric Truck Pilot Program” for the residential BYS service.
At no additional cost, when an electric truck becomes available that has the ability to perform the same work in a day that a current BYS truck currently provides, Athens will acquire this electric truck and exchange it temporarily for a three-month period with one of the current BYS trucks operating in South Pasadena. Upon completion of the three-month pilot program period, Athens will determine if the electric truck’s performance is adequate and if a proposal to use all electric BYS trucks is desired by the City. If so, Athens will provide a proposal to change all unleaded BYS trucks to electric BYS trucks, and what affect that program would have on the rates.
3. Athens will continue to provide the Bus Stop Barrel Pick-up service & City Garage Sweeping service, at the current monthly service levels, at no additional charge to the City. This will save approximately $40,000.00 per year to the City’s budget.
4. Athens will freeze the current BYS residential rate of $52.53 through June 2024. The residential rate will not be adjusted per the regular annual rate adjustment until July 1, 2024.
5. Athens will institute a 2-year phase in of a 20.00% extraordinary rate adjustment, to all rates other than the BYS residential rate, as follows:
Effective July 1, 2023 = 10.00% + regular annual rate adjustment Effective July 1, 2024 = 10.00% + regular annual rate adjustment
6. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin customers upon the effective date of the Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above).
6 13 - 40
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
7. The contract rolling term will be modified from a 7-year rolling term to a 10-year rolling term.
8. During the phase-in period from July 2023 through June 2025, the rolling term shall automatically renew. This is the period in which Athens is providing a rate freeze for the residential BYS rate, and for other rates to be phased-in per #5 & #6 above. The regular renewal term of the contract would start again July 1, 2025.
9. The annual rate adjustment formula in the contract will be modified from using the “Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim area”, to using the “CPI for Trash & Garbage Collection, US City Average” + 1%. Both of these CPI indexes are published on a monthly basis by the same governmental agency, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The current CPI index used in the Agreement accounts for residential homes and the cost of goods that residents are faced with (milk, bread, eggs, etc.). Athens has proposed that this index is unrelated to the trash industry, and as a result, the actual operating costs outpace the rate adjustments that are based on the described ‘household’ CPI. Athens has proposed that using an index that is related to the trash industry helps to cover the actual costs that the hauler is faced with.
OPTION 3
1. Change from the current BYS program to a traditional automated side loader curbside service using three new Renewable Compressed Natural Gas (RCNG) side loader trucks and three new 64-gallon carts for the majority of residents (except for #2 below, or as otherwise needed). The default barrel service will include one of each of the following: a 64-gallon black barrel for trash, a 64-gallon blue barrel for source separated recyclables, and a 64-gallon green barrel for source separated organics.
Instead of 1-pass with a BYS truck, customers will see 3-passes with side loader trucks.
2. For all other residential and multifamily BYS customers located in areas where Athens is unable to provide curbside service, there will be a change from the current 1-pass BYS program to a 2-pass BYS program. This will affect approximately 700 accounts that are in a “hard to service” area where the streets are too narrow for any type of automated side loader vehicle to navigate. This model would also apply to about 60 multi-family accounts that have five or more units where curbside service would not be realistic for the large number of units and barrels. These 760 accounts would need to remain with BYS service using only two unleaded BYS trucks and one RCNG front loader.
3. Athens will continue to provide the Bus Stop Barrel Pick-up service & City Garage Sweeping service, at the current monthly service levels, at no additional charge to the City. This will save approximately $40,000.00 per year to the City’s budget. 7 13 - 41
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
4. Athens will provide new residential rates, effective July 2023, and freeze those rates through June 2024. These two rates will not be adjusted per the regular annual rate adjustment until July 1, 2024. The proposed Curbside rate is $31.00 per month and the proposed BYS rate is $101.00 per month. The City may implement a combination of the two above rates with a net zero change, i.e. increase the curbside rate and decrease the BYS rate, within the legal ability to do so.
5. Institute a 2-year phase in of a 30.00% extraordinary rate adjustment, to all rates other than the Curbside and BYS residential rates in #4 above, as follows:
Effective July 1, 2023 = 15.00% + regular annual rate adjustment Effective July 1, 2024 = 15.00% + regular annual rate adjustment
6. Athens will institute discounted organic rates for all bin customers upon effective date of Amendment (see Option 1, Item 3 above).
7. The contract rolling term will be modified from a 7-year rolling term to a 10-year rolling term.
8. During the phase-in period from July 2023 through June 2025, the rolling term shall automatically renew. This is the period in which Athens is providing a rate freeze for the residential BYS rate, and for other rates to be phased-in per #5 & #6 above. The regular renewal features would start again July 1, 2025.
9. The annual rate adjustment formula in the contract will be modified from using the “Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim area”, to using the “CPI for Trash & Garbage Collection, US City Average” + 1% (see the explanation in Option 2, Item 9).
Analysis of Options
The options presented vary in rate, residential service type (BYS v. Curbside), commercial organics recycling implementation, types of fleet vehicles, Agreement term length, CPI index, and added features.
A rate survey was completed to determine how the three residential rates proposed in these options compare to those in surrounding cities. The proposed Curbside rate in Option 3 aligns closely with the Curbside rates of most cities. The current BYS rate is at a higher end (reflecting the higher service level), and the proposed BYS rate about doubles the current average rate, as seen in the chart below. Note that the rates of these cities do not reflect their rate changes necessary to account for SB 1383 implementation and will likely be higher than what is shown in the following chart. 8 13 - 42
Information on the City’s Exclusive Refuse Service Agreement Update May 17, 2023
The City of South Pasadena is unique in that the entire City is serviced exclusively with Backyard Service, where pick-up trucks equipped with two compartments, collect refuse and recyclable materials in one compartment, and yard and food waste (also called green waste), in the other compartment. Waste is collected from containers supplied by the customer and stored in the customer’s backyard. Currently, residents do not need to roll out their refuse containers to the curb for service – they need only ensure the containers are accessible. Curbside Service is more common in other cities and involves the customer rolling out hauler-provided containers to the curb to be collected by a large sideloader truck. Most cities have a curbside service model, while some have a hybrid curbside service and backyard service model for servicing hard-to-service areas such as hillsides and narrow streets.
Options 1 and 2 would keep the backyard service level as-is in the City and no changes would occur in the service type. Option 3 offers switching to curbside service for most of the City, while retaining backyard service for hard-to-service areas. This would affect approximately 700 accounts that are in a “hard to service” area where the streets are too narrow for any type of automated side loader vehicle to navigate. This model would also apply to about 60 multi-family accounts that have five or more units where curbside service would not be realistic for the large number of units and barrels.
The service type affects the number and type of vehicles used. Options 1 and 2 with BYS would require 8 unleaded BYS pick-up trucks and 2 RCNG front loaders (mother trucks).
Option 3 would require 2 unleaded BYS pick-up trucks, 1 RCNG front loader, and 3 RCNG side loader trucks. If switched to Curbside, residents would be required to roll their refuse containers to the curb on their specified collection day. However, Athens does offer a ‘roll-away’ service feature, where the customer can pay an additional fee to have bins returned from the curb by the Athens driver.
Per SB 1383, all refuse containers must be standardized in color and labeling. Currently with the City’s BYS, residents use their own containers. Regardless of whether the City chooses to remain with BYS for all (Options 1 and 2) or to switch to Curbside for most and BYS for some (Option 3), the containers used must be changed to fit the required 9 13 - 43

color and labeling standards. Per the CAP, these containers must be updated by March 2024. It is important to note that Options 1 and 2 do not include the cost of new containers.
Option 3 includes the cost of new containers for the Curbside accounts only and does not include the cost of new containers for the hard-to-service areas which will remain BYS.
Community Outreach
To gather information on community preferences and current practices, City staff conducted a survey which was available online and in-person. The survey received 465 responses and showed that respondents were relatively even-split on their preference between BYS and Curbside. The survey also revealed that most residents will move either their containers or vehicles on collection day to ensure accessibility for Athens’ crews. See Attachment 5 for complete results of the survey.
Next Steps
Per Council’s direction and to ensure compliance with the CAP, staff may conduct the following next steps:
1. Direct staff to conduct additional community outreach in June/July.
2. Return to Council in August/September with a revised draft Agreement with staff recommendation supported by community feedback.
3. Conduct Proposition 218 Public Hearing for rate changes.
4. Per the CAP, implement new collection services by March 1, 2024.
Fiscal Impact
Residential and commercial refuse rates must be adjusted to accommodate the additional organics collection and recycling services required by SB 1383. The rate increases will depend on which proposed option is chosen. Refuse rates are expected to increase regardless of option.
Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN AND COMPLAINT FOR PENALTY
1476.SLCP.CAP.2023.3
Before: The State of California
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery
1001 I Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
In the Matter of: City of South Pasadena
1414 Mission Street
South Pasadena, CA 91030
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
1. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery is hereinafter referred to as "CalRecycle."
1.1 CalRecycle, in consultation with the California Air Resources Board, adopted regulatory requirements, consistent with the mandate of Senate Bill 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016), that are designed to achieve the organic waste reduction goals established in section 39730.6 of the Health and Safety Code through a 50 percent reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2025. The purpose of these reductions is to further the statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP), including methane. These SLCP regulations are referred to hereinafter as the “Regulations” and can be found at Title 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR) sections 18981.1 through 18998.4. Cities, counties, and special districts are responsible for implementing these Regulations in their communities starting January 1, 2022.
1.2 The City of South Pasadena is hereinafter referred to as "Jurisdiction." Jurisdiction is required to comply with the Regulations.
1.3 Jurisdiction is or expects to be facing continuing violations of the Regulations commencing during the 2022 calendar year, which could result in significant administrative civil penalties under the Regulations.
1.4 Senate Bill 619 (Laird, Chapter 508, Statutes of 2021), through amendments to section 42652.5 of the Public Resources Code (PRC), created a mechanism called 50 13 - 84
Corrective Action Plan
a Notification of Intent to Comply through which a local jurisdiction may secure administrative civil penalty relief from any continuing violations of the Regulations for the 2022 calendar year and may be eligible for a broader and longer-term regulatory compliance path, including suspended administrative civil penalties, through a Corrective Action Plan.
1.5 Under PRC section 42652.5(e), the Notification of Intent to Comply must include a description of proposed actions to remedy the violations, as well as a proposed schedule for those actions, that the Jurisdiction commits to undertake to remedy the violations.
1.6 The Notification of Intent to Comply is hereinafter referred to as “Notification.”
1.7 For violations taking more than 180 days to correct, PRC section 42652.2 allows CalRecycle to determine, in its sole discretion, that violations identified in a Notification may be addressed through a Corrective Action Plan issued pursuant to 14 CCR section 18996.2.
1.8 The Corrective Action Plan is hereinafter referred to as "CAP.”
1.9 For violations disclosed in the Notification approved by CalRecycle as meeting the requirements of PRC section 42652.5(e), CalRecycle shall waive administrative civil penalties during the 2022 calendar year if the Jurisdiction implements the proposed actions according to the approved Notification’s schedule of actions and, as applicable, approved CAP schedule of actions.
1.10 For violations disclosed in the Notification that commence during the 2022 calendar year and continue into the 2023 calendar year, administrative civil penalties may begin accruing as of January 1, 2023. SB 619 provides administrative civil penalties accruing on and after January 1, 2023, shall be waived upon complete compliance with an approved CAP schedule of action.
DETERMINATION OF VIOLATIONS
2. As authorized by PRC section 42652.5(c), the Jurisdiction notified CalRecycle of its ongoing or anticipated violations of the Regulations and the PRC through a Notification submitted March 1, 2022.
2.1 CalRecycle reviewed the Jurisdiction's Notification, its description of the Jurisdiction’s disclosed violations of the Regulations, and proposed actions and schedule for those actions to remedy those violations for compliance with PRC section 42652.5(e). CalRecycle approved the Notification’s proposed actions and schedule of actions, as modified by this CAP.
