Councilmember deHaan stated Assembly Bill 32 requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020; inquired what was the 1990 level. Mr. Schiffman responded the level is lower now because the former Naval Base closed. Councilmember deHaan inquired how Assembly Bill 32 mandates would intertwine [with the Local Action Plan]. The Supervising Planner responded Assembly Bill 32 is an emissions reduction for the State and will be implemented by the Air Resources Board; stated nothing will be seen until 2009; 2005 was chosen as the baseline because data was available; 1990 data is not available. Councilmember deHaan stated that many of the priorities are every day staff actions; questioned whether some priorities would require additional staff time; stated that he would like to see accountability for funding requirements. The Supervising Planner stated staff would come back with funding sources during the next budget cycle; currently, staff is negotiating with a consultant on sustainable and green building ordinances.
