Recommended Action Adopt a Resolution authorizing execution and submittal of a Proof of Designation letter (POD), Form 184, to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), to designate Coast Waste Management, Inc. (WM), as an approved collector of electronic waste (e-waste) for the City of Carlsbad. Executive Summary Within the City of Carlsbad, WM collects, stores and ships e-waste to E-Recycling. These activities are consistent with requirements of the Solid Waste Hauler Franchise Agreement between the city and WM (Agreement), and prior city-approved PODs submitted to CalRecycle. In order for WM to continue collecting e-waste for the city, a new POD must be authorized by the city and submitted to Cal Recycle. Discussion Local governments are required by the State of California to have programs to manage e-waste to help facilitate proper e-waste recycling and disposal. According to State Code 14 CCR sec. 18660.49, if a private waste hauler provides e-waste services on behalf of a local government, the local government must submit a POD to Cal Recycle describing and authorizing the hauler's activities. WM has operated as the city's designated e-waste collector under prior city PODs. Under section 4.06 of the Agreement, WM must provide on-call electronic waste collection services to all single-family and multi-family customers in Carlsbad. If the City Council continues to approve WM as a designated collector of e-waste on behalf of the city, residents will only need to show proof of residency for their material to be collected at the WM drop-off location at PalomarTransfer Station, and will not be required to complete any Oct. 15, 2019 Item #3 Page 1 of 6 information for curbside pickup. This approval will speed up thee-waste drop-off collection experience and reduce wait times for city residents. According to State Code 14 CCR sec. 18660.49(b)(4), the city's POD signatory must be "a representative of the Local Gover'nment that is duly authorized and empowered to execute agreements or contracts related to waste management on behalf of the jurisdiction." Under City Charter·section 402, the City Council approves solid waste hauling franchises that operate on city streets, highways or other rights-of-way. Therefore, a City Council Resolution may authorize the mayor to sign the POD. Cal Recycle allows the option of submitting a new POD for the length of the Agreement. Staff recommends submitting the new POD to align with the Agreement expiring on June 30, 2022. Fiscal Analysis This item has no fiscal impact. Next Steps 30 days following the city's authorization and submittal of POD, Form 184, WM will continue collection of e-waste within the city. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) The proposed action does not qualify as a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it does not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Public Notification and Outreach This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to scheduied meeting date.
