City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan, CAP Format, Approach, and Content Attachment 2 baseline GHG emissions inventory and reduction target; describes recommended emissions reduction actions in the key target sectors - transportation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and solid waste management – to meet 2012 goal (20 percent below 1990 levels by 2012); and presents next steps required over the near term to implement the Plan. The CAP presents action items that are drawn from several related plans and policies governing transportation, energy and recycling in the City, including the City's Sustainability Plan, Electricity Resource Plan, Countywide Transportation Plan, Assembly Bill 939 recycling law, and others. The actions are organized into four categories — Transportation, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, and Solid Waste. An estimate of the annual emissions reductions is provided for each set of actions. In some cases, emissions reduction quantification is straightforward (e.g. x gallons of gasoline saved is equivalent to y tons of CO2 reduced). However, estimates and assumptions were used to quantify the benefits of many of the actions. City of San Leandro Date Adopted: December 2009 Prepared by: City of San Leandro, KEMA Summary: The City of San Leandro's climate strategy is based on ICLEI's 5- Milestone process: 1) Conduct an inventory of city -wide greenhouse gas emissions, 2) Set a reduction target /goal, 3) Establish a Climate Action Plan, 4) Implement a Climate Action Plan, and 5) Monitor and evaluate progress. The City completed Milestone 1 in 2005, conducting an emissions inventory for both community -wide emissions and emissions from municipal operations. In June 2006, the City completed Milestone 2 by adopting a resolution to reduce community wide emissions by 25 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The Climate Action Plan (Milestone 3) seeks to both document the various programs San Leandro has accomplished since 2005, as well as consider new programs and actions that may be implemented to meet the City's greenhouse gas reduction target of 25 percent below 2005 emissions levels by 2020. Results of the municipal and community -wide greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory are presented in the beginning of the CAP. Following sections discuss emissions reduction measures in each major category: Building Energy, Transportation and Land Use, Waste, and Municipal Operations. In close collaboration with the San Leandro Climate Protection Task Force, KEMA developed a number of goals and implementing actions for each category of emissions. The goals are broad overarching objectives, while individual actions are meant to be concrete policies or programs that will help achieve the goal. The Climate Action Plan includes an Implementation chapter to highlight the costs and benefits of strategies and the prioritization of near -term activities to enable the City of San Leandro to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals. These measures were chosen based on the "SMART" test, such that they were Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Trackable. The final section provides an overview of available funding sources to determine appropriate potential funding opportunities and funding levels to support existing and new programs outlined in this plan.
