TITLE
Recommendation to declare ordinance amending the Long Beach Municipal Code by amending the title of Chapter 8.60, amending Sections 8.60.010, 8.60.020, 8.60.025, 8.60.060, 8.60.087.5, 8.60.140, 18.67.030, and 18.67.070; and, by adding Sections 8.60.370, 18.67.100 and 21.42.060, all to comply with the State mandated legislation SB 1383, the "Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act", read and adopt as read. (Citywide)

DISCUSSION
At its meeting of October 19, 2021, the City Council requested the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending Chapters 8.60, 18.67 and 21.42 of the Long Beach Municipal Code to comply with the State-mandated legislation SB 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act, and to complete any required review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) prior to submitting the ordinance.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), categorical exemption No. CE 21-40 was prepared and issued. (See Attachment.)

The ordinance amends the Municipal Code in the areas of Edible Food Recovery compliance, investigations, and enforcement including financial penalties; CalGreen Building Standards; Water Efficient Landscape; and Organics Diversion compliance, investigations, and enforcement including financial penalties. SB 1383 provides CalRecycle with the authority to fine cities for non-compliance starting on January 1, 2024, with financial penalties that can extend back to the implementation date of ??January 1, 2022. This action will establish compliance with S8 1383 by the implementation date to avoid these financial penalties.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
