Joint Sand City Council and Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency Minutes 02.15.22 Regular Meeting 8A. Consideration and Approval of City RESOLUTION to Amend and Update the Memorandum of Understanding between the Monterey Regional Waste Management District and the City of Sand City for Assistance in Achieving SB 1383 Compliance City Planner Pooler reported that the June 6, 2021 Council meeting, the Council adopted Resolution SC 21-52 that authorized a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Monterey Regional Waste Management District (MRWMD) for assistance with implementing SB 1383 mandates. A non-competitive CalRecycle grant has become available to assist local jurisdictions in implementing SB 1383 programs. Marina will be taking the lead, and finds that the District has the staff and resources to administer the programs on behalf of participating jurisdictions. Sand City is entitled to $20,000 for this purpose. Since the City does not have in-house staff, resources, or expertise to manage the grant program, amending the current MOU with the MRWMD, as proposed would allow the City to utilize MRWMD's resources. There is no cost to the City to participate on the cooperative regional grant and the City would benefit from an estimated $212,566 in pooled regional funding to be administered by the MRWMD. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. Mr. Pooler introduced Brennen Jensen and Kristin O’Hara representing the Monterey Regional Waste Management District. Ms. Jensen commented that Mr. Poolers report was concise, that the resolution authorizing submission of grants on the city’s behalf was approved on the consent calendar, and that the MOU revisions would incorporate shared costs with MRWMD and other agencies. She also reported on the benefits of amending the MOU to include assistance to the City with direct funds allocated towards meeting compliance. Mr. Pooler responded affirmatively to the Mayor’s inquiry whether this is a one-time grant, and if successful may be extended. Ms. Jensen added that two different exhibits are included in the agenda packet with Exhibit C outlining the estimated allocation for each City. 5:57 P.M. The Mayor opened the floor for public comment, and seeing none, closed the floor to public comment. Motion to approve the City Resolution to amend and update the Memorandum of Understanding between the Monterey Regional Waste Management District and the City of Sand City for assistance in achieving SB 1383 Compliance was made by Council Member Sofer, seconded by Council Member Hawthorne.
