Director of Public Health and the Chief Sustainability Officer, in coordination

with the Chief Executive Officer, the Director of Internal Services, and County

Health’s (DPH’s) updated Standards for Prepared Foods, Snacks, and

Beverages in all new and renewing County food service solicitations and

contracts;

Develop evaluation criteria for use in food service Requests for

Proposals, where new criteria should encourage plans and/or proposals

that incorporate more plant-based food options and prioritize local

growers, when fiscally feasible;

Collect annual food purchasing data from County Departments that

purchase, serve, or distribute food, and in all new and renewing food

service contracts, County Departments shall develop contract language

any potential cost impacts of the new food model and related to the

development of an annual report; and

Instruct the Chief Sustainability Officer and the Director of Public Health, in

coordination with the Director of Internal Services, to do the following:

Establish a baseline level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, when

feasible, identify additional environmental and social impacts related to

County food products; and explore incorporating the food-based

emission data into the County’s municipal GHG inventory;

Using the established baseline, create food-based emissions and impact

reduction targets for the next decade, consider aligning targets with the

World Resources Institute’s “Coolfood Pledge” and adding the targets as

part of the OurCounty Sustainability Plan update;

Use the annual purchasing report from the above directive, generate an

annual climate impact report and post it publicly on an online dashboard

on DPH’s website, where the report should track progress towards

reduction targets and consider using sources like World Resources

Institute; and

Create and disseminate educational materials to County Departments on

ways to meet the food-based emissions targets, where the materials

should be informed by the 2024 Departmental survey and include

information related to animal-based products’ environmental and social
