edible food recovery program.
3. In October 2021, Temple City entered in the MOA with SGVCOG for participation
in the San Gabriel Regional Food Recovery Program.
ANALYSIS:
Temple City executed the MOA with SGVCOG for participation in the San Gabriel
Valley Edible Food Recovery Program in October 2021. The MOA currently, includes
the development and implementation of a regional food recovery program. This program
will assist participating cities meet the edible food recovery component required by SB
1383. It is administered and managed by SGVCOG and is being implemented by SCS
Engineers, the consultant retained by SGVCOG.
In addition to the development of edible food recovery programs, SB 1383 requires the
inspection and enforcement of these programs. The Amendment to the MOA will allow
the City to participate in the development and implementation of an Inspection Program,
also to be conducted by SCS Engineers and extend the term of the MOA to August 1,
2024. The total cost for the Inspection Program is not to exceed $66,910.00.
For Temple City, this inspection program will include:
Up to 11 inspections of Tier 1 food generators twice per calendar year
Up to 12 inspections of Tier 2 food generators once per calendar year
Up to 2 visits to food recovery agencies/organizations located within the City’s
jurisdiction per calendar year
Temple City collects $54,000 annually in AB 939 funds and currently has a fund balance
of $621,000. This program falls with the guidelines of eligible use of AB 939 funds;
hence the City has a non-general fund revenue source to pay for this program currently
and into the future.
Participating in this inspection program will help Temple City comply with the inspection
component of edible food recovery programs required by SB 1383. Staff recommends
participation in the program.
