1.3. ICLEI Membership and the Five Milestones By adopting a resolution committing the City to locally advancing climate protection, Pleasanton has joined an international movement of local governments. More than 800 local governments, including over 450 in the United States, have joined ICLEI. In addition to Pleasanton, all other Alameda County municipalities are ICLEI members, part of the 120 member California network (approximately 80 members are located in the Bay Area). The Fivc Milestone Process provides a framework for local communities to identity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, organized along Live milestones: (I) Conduct an inventory of local greenhouse gas emissions; (2) Establish a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target; (3) Develop a climate action plan for achieving the emissions reduction target; (4) Implement the climate action plan; and, (5) Re-inventory emissions to monitor and report on progress. This report represents the completion of the first Cities for Climate Protection milestone, and provides a foundation for future work to redact greenhouse gas emissions in Pleasanton. 1.4. Sustainability and Climate Change Mitigation Activities in Pleasanton Pleasanton has already taken many steps toward increasing energy efficiency, reducing air pollution, and reducing solid waste. Examples include: • Working with the Alameda County Green Business Program to certify city facilities and provide staff assistance to interested businesses in achieving certification. • Recycling programs including: food scrap/green clipping, paper, asphalt, used oil and printer cartridges. • Equipping City facilities with motion occupancy sensors and energy efficient lighting. "these steps reduce energy consumption, emissions generate cost savings. City facilities are also being considered for lighting retrofits or alternative energy efficiencies. • Partner with regional agencies and community volunteers for Ear[h Day and California Coastal Clean Up Day • Solar Cities Program • Green Building Ordinance • Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance • Commitment to the 75% waste reduction by 2010 • Bay Friendly Program • Rebates I'or commercial customer using water efficient equipment • Battery and thermometer collection points • hiitiating a transition to green fleet • Converting traffic signal and street sign lights to more energy efficient LED lights. • Use of solar power speed radar signs and solar powered in-pavement Flashers and beacons • Testing wireless, battery powered in-pavement vehicle detection sensors to reduce power consumption by replacing the traditional video vehicle detection cameras 2005 Q~eenhouseC~s Emissions Irnerrtory, Cityof Reas~u~tan 4
