AGENDA ITEM 7, PUBLIC HEARING 7A. Consideration of FIRST READING: City ORDINANCE to Amend Chapter 13.04 of the Sand City Municipal Code in its Entirety Pertaining to Garbage Management, Franchises, and Services (this item continued from the October 19, 2021 Council meeting ) City Planner Charles Pooler reported that the Ordinance to amend Chapter 13.04 of the municipal code is to update its content to meet California regulations and modern waste management practices. Staff has been working with the Monterey Peninsula Waste Management Districts consultants who have drafted a comprehensive model waste ordinance for the MRWMD’s member jurisdictions, and is consistent with Greenwaste Recovery’s franchise agreement. He provided the background on State legislation regarding Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) that impacts waste management, requiring the reduction of organic waste in landfills. SB 1383 also requires that all cities and counties in California adopt and enforce regulations pertaining to organic material collection and edible food recovery which

Joint Sand City Council and Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency Minutes 11.02.21 Regular Meeting must take effect beginning January 1, 2022. Failure to enact or enforce such an ordinance can result in a $10,000 per day fine on the City by Cal-Recycle. The attached draft ordinance is a blend of the 2016 model ordinance and the SB 1383 model ordinance, and includes several prohibitions regarding littering, waste accumulation, etc. It also updates language identifying the City’s exclusive right to collect, manage, and regulate discarded materials to ensure the public’s health, safety, and welfare. He further reported on separation of food, what constitutes organic wase materials, food recovery, definitions of Tier 1 and Tier 2 food generators, and notice of violation. Staff recommends approval rescinding the current version of Chapter 13.04 and adoption for first reading of the updated Chapter 13.04 for consistency with current waste management industry standards and mandatory compliance with SB 1383. Mr. Pooler responded to Council Member Cruz’s inquiry regarding who is responsible for the enforcement of the notice of violation. There was discussion regarding waivers and their limits, additional waste containers, and public outreach. 6:09 P.M. Floor opened for Public Comment. Zoe Shoats, Director of Compliance with the Monterey Regional Waste Management District commented on working in collaboration with Mr. Pooler, and answered questions regarding what materials arrive at their site, provided a definition of food scraps, recycled materials turned into compost, and reported on the process of heat used to break down materials. Ms. Shoats responded to Council Member Hawthorne’s inquiry regarding meat products and what can be recycled, and also addressed Mayor Carbone’s concerns regarding odors and MRWMD’s efforts to conduct an odor study. 6:25 P.M. Floor closed to Public Comment. Motion to waive full reading of the Ordinance to amend Chapter 13.04 of the Sand City Municipal Code in its Entirety Pertaining to Garbage Management, Franchises, and Services was made by Council Member Hawthorne, seconded by Council Member Sofer. Roll call Vote AYES: Council Members Blackwelder, Carbone, Cruz, Hawthorne, Sofer. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. Motion carried.

Consideration of FIRST READING: City ORDINANCE to Add Section 15.12.045 to the Sand City Municipal Code pertaining to Model Water Efficient Landscaping (this item continued from the October 19, 2021 Council meeting)

Joint Sand City Council and Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency Minutes 11.02.21 Regular Meeting City Planner Charles Pooler reported that as part of SB 1383, jurisdictions are mandated to require compliance with Sections 492.6 (a)(3), (C), (D), and (G) of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). The Municipal Code does not include compliance with those sections. Monterey Peninsula Water Management District adopted MWELO requirements several years ago for itself and its member jurisdictions; however, their adoption does not satisfy SB 1383 requirements that a jurisdiction shall adopt an ordinance that requires compliance. The relevant sections of MWELO to be adopted as part of the proposed ordinance includes compost and mulch use, submittal of a landscaped design plan with a soil preparation, mulch, and amendment information. Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the attached Ordinance to add Section 15.12,045 to the Sand City Municipal Code pertaining to Model Efficient Landscaping. 6:33 P.M. Floor opened for Public Comment. There were no comments from the Public in person, via writing or through telecommunications. 6:33 P.M. Floor closed to Public Comment. Motion to waive full reading of the Ordinance to add Section 15.12.045 to the Sand City Municipal Code pertaining to Model Water Efficient Landscaping was made by Council Member Hawthorne, seconded by Council Member Blackwelder. Roll call Vote AYES: Council Members Blackwelder, Carbone, Cruz, Hawthorne, Sofer. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. Motion carried. Motion to approve the first reading, by title only, of the Ordinance to add Section 15.12.045 to the Sand City Municipal Code pertaining to Model Water Efficient Landscaping was made by Council Member Hawthorne, seconded by Council Member Sofer. Roll call Vote AYES: Council Members Blackwelder, Carbone, Cruz, Hawthorne, Sofer. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. Motion carried. AGENDA ITEM 8, NEW BUSINESS 8A. Discussion and Possible Direction in search of New City Manager and Consideration of Interim Position City Attorney Norgaard requested direction from Council regarding the process they would like to follow to replace Aaron Blair who is resigning effective November 26, 2021. She reported that the last firm chosen was Avery and Associates, and they would be willing to conduct the new search and recruitment process for a reduced fee and can begin immediately. The Council discussed the interim position, availability of a short list of possible candidates to fill the interim position, and whether it should be conducted in house, and/or have an employee who is up to speed with the development projects fill in as interim. There was discussion of a short list of candidates and bringing it to the

Joint Sand City Council and Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency Minutes 11.02.21 Regular Meeting Budget/Personnel Committee for discussion and consideration, prior to the City Council, as well as terms for contracting with a search firm. 6:45 P.M. Floor opened for Public Comment. Building Official John Keuhl with 4Leaf, Inc. commented on the critical role the City Manager demonstrates in the City. He thanked Mr. Blair for his professionalism and working with complicated issues. Mr. Kuehl further mentioned the qualities and strengths that would be needed for a new City Manager such as trust, knowledge of construction and technical aspects of the development agreement, endowments, and someone who can work with developers and contractors, possesses good communication skills with the ability to view the whole picture. He also mentioned the challenges of blending art, and the need for an individual who is familiar with local agencies such as Seaside Sanitation District, P.G. & E, Cal-Am, Comcast, and A.T.&T. Todd Sheller Vice President of Lyles Diversified, Inc. echoed Mr. Keuhl’s comment, commended staff’s professionalism, and added that it has been a respected partnership both ways. It will be a challenge to fill Aaron’s place, and filling the position quickly will not help the project. He stressed the importance of finding the right person for the position of City Manager. 6:53 P.M. Floor closed to Public Comment. There was Council consensus to bring back a proposal from Avery and Associates to conduct the recruitment for a new City Manager, and to review a short list of candidates during a Budget/Personnel Committee meeting to fill in as interim in the meantime.
