CityCouncil | 2008-05-06 | 17 | Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. ( 08-197) - Recommendation to review options for community participation in implementation of the Local Action Plan for Climate Protection. The Planning and Building Director gave a Power Point presentation. Bill Smith, Alameda, discussed alternative energy. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he appreciates and supports the proposed committee structure; the partnership provides the broadest possible scope for dealing with a community issue, not just a City issue; he appreciates having tasks aligned with priorities as well as due dates; measuring the progress to the plan will be very effective; he would like to see a way to add a more detailed breakdown of the steps that go to accomplishing some of the items from the City side as well as the public side; he appreciates all the work done by the Task Force and staff. Councilmember deHaan stated Assembly Bill 32 requires getting back to the 1990 level; inquired what was the level of emissions at that point. The Planner I responded staff was unable to calculate back to 1990 because there is a lack of data from PG&E. Vice Mayor Tam stated that forming a public-private partnership makes the most sense since the City's facilities are only 3% of the overall impact she would like to see if there is a way the broader group can provide some feedback to the City's Capital Improvement Projects to see if there are opportunities to implement some of the actions. The Planning and Building Director stated the annual and bi-annual budget review provide a perfect opportunity to start working with the whole group. Vice Mayor Tam moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Gilmore stated that she appreciates the amount of work done; she is sensing a lot of enthusiasm from staff as well as the former Climate Protection Task Force; the enthusiasm will translate well into the larger community.
