7. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
A. Discuss Senate Bill 1383 Organic Waste Reduction Policy and Program
Development and Implementation
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1383 Short -Lived
Climate Pollutant regulations into law. The legislation set statewide methane
emissions targets for California to reduce short-lived climate pollutants and divert
organic waste from landfills. The emissions targets included 1) the reduction of
organic waste disposal of 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025 and 2) a 20% increase to
edible food recovery by 2025. Beginning in 2022, all jurisdictions are required to
implement mandatory organic waste collection and recycling services to
commercial and residential properties.
Recommendation: That the City Council direct staff to proceed with one of the
following courses of action:
1. The City's Franchise Hauler will assist in the costs associated with retaining a
consultant on the City's behalf to develop, implement, and administer the SB
Rosemead City Council, Successor Agency & Housing Development Corporation
Special & Regular Joint Meeting Agenda Julv 13. 2021
1383 Organic Waste Reduction Program conditioned on a City authorized
extension to the existing Franchise Agreement for Comprehensive Refuse
Services with Consolidated Disposal Services (Republic Services); or
2. The City will retain independent oversight through the procurement of a
consultant to develop, implement, and administer the SB 1383 Organic Waste
Reduction Program at a cost of $65,000 for year one. This expense is not
included in the 2021-2022 adopted operating budget. Therefore, if this option
is selected, a budget amendment will be necessary. The amendment will be
presented with the 1St Quarter Budget Report.

This item is presented to the City Council at the request of Council Member Steven
Ly. The current consolidated disposal services agreement expires on July 31, 2023.
