THE CITY OF 13 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT PLEA TON March 15, 2011 Operations Services TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT UNTIL APRIL 30, 2013 SUMMARY In July, 2008 the City Council established the Committee on Energy and the Environment to advise it on energy and environmental issues, strategies, planning and protections and opportunities for conservation. The duties of the Committee on Energy and Environment (Committee) include supporting the intent of the City's General Plan environmental goals, developing measurable energy strategies related to preservation, enhancement and conscientious utilization of environmental resources, and other energy related matters. Most recently, the Committee has been involved with developing the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP). Based on the level of involvement anticipated in 2008, the Committee was formed for an initial term of two years after which extensions could be made by the City Council. Due to the amount of time required to complete the CAP and other energy related matters concerning the Committee, staff has determined it's appropriate for the City Council to consider extending the term of the Committee for an additional two years until April 30, 2013. Prior to this date, the City Council may reassess the Committee's agenda and agree to extend for an additional length of time. RECOMMENDATION Adopt attached resolution amending Resolution No. 08 -234 to extend the term of the Committee on Energy and the Environment until April 30, 2013. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The financial impact is minimal relating to staff time required to staff and support the Committee.
