City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan, CAP Format, Approach, and Content ATTACHMENT 2 Review of Bay Area City Climate Action Plans City of Albany Date Adopted: February, 2010 Prepared by: City of Albany, AECOM Summary: Albany's Climate Action Plan (CAP) was prepared in 2008 -2009, by City staff and consultants, with input from the public, and grant support from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Source Reduction and Recycling Board (StopWaste.org). The CAP consists of a summary chapter and four technical chapters. The Summary Chapter defines climate change and its potential effects, outlines the actions the State and City are taking to address climate change, and describes how residents and business owners can participate in greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction efforts. The technical chapters detail the City's strategy to be consistent with applicable state regulation and provide guidance to City officials and departments charged with implementing the plan. They consist of the following: GHG Baseline, Projections, and Targets — This chapter presents what is known regarding Albany's current GHG emissions (2004 baseline), projected future emissions for 2020 and 2050, and leadership action by the City Council to establish a reduction target. Albany has set an emissions reduction target of 25% below their 2004 baseline by 2020. Climate Action Strategies — This chapter proposes strategies and measures the City can take to achieve its 2020 emissions reduction target. Implementation — This chapter discusses how the City will monitor the Climate Action Plan to ensure that the proposed strategies and measures achieve reduction targets, and describes available funding strategies. Public Participation — This chapter describes the role public participation played in the formulation of the CAP. The chapter specifically discusses the outreach methods used and summarizes the input provided. CEQA — In February 2020, City of Albany prepared an Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS /MND) for the CAP. Albany's CAP uses an attractive easy -to -read style with clearly presentation of target setting, reduction potential of measures, cost per metric ton reduced, and quantification methodology. A2 -1
