City Manager Mark Pulone gave an overview of SB 1383 and stated that the city
will have an approved organic recycling ordinance by the end of the year. The City
will be providing outreach and education to encourage residents to capture food
scraps with landscaping waste and is making efforts to implement the new
increased fees as economically feasible for residents as possible while allowing
the city to fully comply with the new state mandate. Mr. Pulone further stated that
the city will be working on amendments to the city’s franchise agreement with
Republic Services to align with the requirements of SB 1383.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Jamie Lai said the city is preparing for
compliance with the new mandates which will require all businesses, residents and
