Please see attached responses to Mayor Sustarsic's questions regarding tonight's agenda. Also, I would appreciate it if
you would please let me know as soon as possible if you plan to pull any Consent Calendar items from the agenda to
ensure staff and the City Clerk are prepared for a Zoom presentation and there are hopefully no technical challenges on
Zoom tonight.
Thank you,
Jill

Questions for September 28, 2020 City Council Meeting Sustarsic
Warrants:
Check # 16989 Employment Development Dept. $ 12,413.00
Emergency Declaration 2020
What is this for?
Unemployment payment for 2nd quarter (April-June). The State paid for over
$11K using CARES Act funds and this is the remaining balance. The City also
used the CARES Act funds to pay the remaining balance of $12,413.00.
Check # 17012 K2 Demolition Co Inc $ 10,000.00
C & D Deposit
What is this for? Refund for construction/ demolition deposit.
Item H. Will this be a new contract or an extension of the contract with HF & H?
Staff will amend tonight's recommendation to amend the scope of work with
HF&H and in order to be less confusing and more transparent, will instead
bring back an updated PSA and Scope of Work for Council's consideration to
deal with 1826. Tonight, staff will focus on 1594 only.
In the original contract, HF & H has a Scope of Work that includes AB 1826 and
SB 1383.
That is correct; however, CalRecycle - the state agency that oversees solid
waste and recycling - has informed the City that we must implement 1826
more immediately or face a violation. Originally, staff had hoped to fold 1826
into the new solid waste agreement through negotiations but doing so would
drastically delay implementation of 1826 and put the City at risk for a penalty
by CalRecycle.
Will AB 1594 be included in the new Scope of Work?
If staff's recommendation were to be approved by Council tonight, we would
be in compliance with this state mandate and it would not need to be inserted
in the new Scope of Work which will be presented to Council at the October
12th Council meeting.
What are the criteria for a discount rate for Senior Citizens?
Per the solid waste agreement, Section IV, 4.2.1 - "Residential Householders that are
both Senior Citizens and heads of lower income households, and who are so certified
by the City, shall be granted a 15% discount off residential rates. For purposes of this
Section 4.2.1, "senior citizens" means heads of households that are 65 years of age or
older, and "lower income households" means persons and families whose household
income does not exceed the qualifying limits for lower income families as established
and amended from time to time pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing
Act of 1937."
