THE CITY 22 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> L'EASANTON© <br /> August 16, 2011 <br /> Operations Services <br /> TITLE: COMMUNITY CLIMATE ACTION PLAN REPORT DRAFT FOR COUNCIL <br /> REVIEW AND ADOPTION <br /> SUMMARY <br /> In July 2010, City Staff, in cooperation with the Committee on Energy and Environment <br /> (Committee) and ESA (the City's consultant), began developing a Climate Action Plan <br /> (CAP). In addition to defining our efforts to be a more sustainable community, the CAP <br /> complies with various State regulations and fulfills our obligations stemming from the <br /> Urban Habitat Settlement Agreement. As part of the CAP process, staff hosted three <br /> public workshops and numerous special sessions for local businesses with the goal of <br /> gaining information for the draft CAP and gaining community support for CAP goals. The <br /> draft document is being presented for City Council review and adoption. The Committee <br /> on Energy and Environment unanimously approved the CAP and recommended that it <br /> move forward for City Council approval. Once approved, work can commence on the <br /> required Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Approve the draft CAP report strategy. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> There is no financial impact as a result of adopting the plan. Plan programs and actions <br /> with financial impact will be considered individually and as part of the City's budget <br /> process. <br />
