SONOMA MARIN

BACKGROUND: In September 2016, Governor Brown set methane

emissions reduction targets for California (SB 1383 Lara, Chapter 395,

Statutes of 2016) in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived

climate pollutants. The statewide targets enact policies designed to

reduce organic waste disposal 75% by 2025 and rescue for people to

eat at least 20% of currently disposed edible food by 2025.

The City of Santa Rosa is responsible for implementing SB 1383

Regulations and desires to partner with Recology on certain SB 1383

implementation matters by amending the Solid Waste Collection

Services Agreement. In addition, the Omnibus Amendment to the Waste

Delivery Agreement and Franchised Hauler Agreement with Republic

Services of Sonoma County and Recology Sonoma Marin will allow for

more efficient management of Santa Rosa’s SB 1383 Regulations

compliance requirements.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and

Public Works Department that the Council, by two resolutions: 1)

approve the Fourth Amendment to Solid Waste Collection Services

Agreement between the City of Santa Rosa and Recology Sonoma

Marin, dba Recology Santa Rosa, adding Recology’s requirements

assisting the City comply with SB 1383 Regulations; and 2) approve the

Omnibus Amendment to the Waste Delivery Agreement with Republic

Services of Sonoma County and Franchised Hauler Agreement

between Republic Services of Sonoma County and Recology Sonoma

Marin, transferring the fees for the commercial food waste/dry mixed

waste program to the Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement in a

revenue-neutral manner.

REPORT - COUNCIL DIRECTION TO SANTA ROSA PLAIN

GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AGENCY BOARD MEMBER

REGARDING ADOPTION OF GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY

USER FEES

BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Sustainability

Agency (SRP GSA) is a Joint Powers Authority comprised of the Cities

of Cotati, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, and Sebastopol, the Town of

Windsor, the County of Sonoma, Sonoma Water, and the Gold Ridge

and Sonoma Resource Conservation Districts. In addition, a group of

mutual water companies and independently owned water systems, via

agreement with the SRP GSA, also have a seat on the SRP GSA Board

of Directors. The SRP GSA has a Board of Directors comprised of SRP

GSA member agency representatives. Council Member Schwedhelm is

currently the City’s SRP GSA Board member.

The SRP GSA is a self-funding agency, formed by law in 2017 to carry

out the mandates of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of

2014. In June 2019, the SRP GSA Board of Directors approved an

ordinance enacting a groundwater sustainability user fee of $19.90 per

acre foot per year of groundwater extracted within the SRP GSA

jurisdictional boundary. This fee was enacted to support a three-year

effort to develop a state mandated Groundwater Sustainability Plan

(GSP) by January 31, 2022. Now that the GSP has been formally

adopted, a five-year rate study has been pursued by the SRP GSA to

determine the fee amounts necessary to implement the GSP. A revised

groundwater sustainability user fee of $36-$44 per acre foot of

groundwater extracted annually is proposed for five years. Santa Rosa

Water staff and the Board of Public Utilities are recommending the

Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Sustainability Agency’s representative

support adoption of the revised fee at a Public Hearing on June 9,

2022.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water and the

Board of Public Utilities that the Council consider the revised

groundwater sustainability user fee for the Santa Rosa Plain

Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SRP GSA), and, by motion,

recommend the Santa Rosa Plain Groundwater Sustainability Agency

Board Member support adoption of the revised fee at the June 9, 2022

Public Hearing.
