AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Early Recruitment of Management Analyst Position for Public Works Solid
Waste Support
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2022
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize early recruitment of Management Analyst position for Public
Works solid waste support.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: CalRecycle has adopted regulations consistent with the mandates
associated with Senate Bill 1383. The mandates are designed to
achieve the State of California's organic waste reduction goals.
The City is required to comply with these regulations to assist the State in achieving the reduction of short
lived climate pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions in landfills. One of the main requirements resulting
from the regulations include the implementation of mandatory residential and commercial food waste
collection and education and outreach. Considering the growing number of solid waste and recycling
mandates imposed by the State, the need for a full-time employee had become necessary. A full time
Management Analyst position was approved with the fiscal year 2022/2023 budget.
The implementation of the mandatory residential food waste collection will result in additional costs to both
the City and Waste Management. Staff is currently negotiating a contract extension with Waste Management
to cover the costs needed to implement SB1383 requirements. The terms of the proposed contract
extension include a funding source to hire a full time Management Analyst to support the compliance
requirements of SB 1383 and future State mandated solid waste regulations. This new contract with Waste
Management and the additional funding for a position however would not go into effect until January 1, 2023,
however, staff is requesting approval to begin the recruitment process prior to having permanent funding in
place so the position is filled by January 2023.
The City was recently awarded a one-time Cal -Recycle grant in the amount of $91,193 to assist in
implementing SB1383 requirements, a portion of the grant proceeds ($56,000) is earmarked for personnel
costs which the City can use to fund the position until the new contract with Waste Management and the
funding for the Management Analyst position is approved.
Staff recommends Council authorize early recruitment of Management Analyst position for Public Works solid
waste support.
