RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-06-13 | 2 | 7-A Provide Comment on the Draft Climate Action and Resiliency Plan, (CARP), Update (heard after 7-B) Presentation by Liam Garland, Public Works Director, which included information about sea level rise and lowering green house gas emissions. Commissioner Discussion Chair Limoges: Are other cities our size doing this level of study? Answer: Ours stands out in its level of details and the number of project detail which makes them ready to be funded. Where is the electricity coming from to achieve the goal? Answer: Alameda Municipal Power in the near term can handle it. If the need exceeds, we would need to look for alternatives for energy effeciency. Was impressed with amount of sea level rise already considered in Alameda Point planning. Vice Chair Alexander: Are there sites on Bay Farm Island that currently need to be raised. Answer: Lagoon structure and Veteran's Court both need to be raised, as well as Towata Park on the Main island. Commissioner Barnes: Supports moving carbon neutrality goal to 2030, basically by sequestering as much carbon as we're emitting. Consider Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) converting Green Energy program with additional small payments by residents to fund improvements rather than phasing it out in 2020 when AMP goes to 100% renewable energy. Consider providing information that is easily digestible, regardarding flood risks, to homebuyers at the time of title transfer. Improve access on the west end with the flood risk of the tubes as incentive to do so. Recommend Sustainability Manager position at a Director level. Moving up the natural gas ban and electrification is important. Replenishing AMP rebate funds for solar and personal residential EV charging. Reiterate importance of developers to include chargers, carbon neutral, awareness of sea level rise in development and design. Awareness of emissions from manufacturing and therefore purchase of new clothes, etc., as well as encouraging plant based diets. Consider adding days of school lunches that are plant based only. Work with new business on the emissions from the products they are bringing in and consider models from other cities. Excited about the opportunity to use parks for absorbing emissions and adapting to sea level rise. Commissioner Robbins: What is potential date of a second BART station? Answer: Considered in CARP and the earliest we have heard is 2030. Are wetlands considered for Northwest Territories? Answer: The City is working to finalize a Memorandum of Understanding with the East Bay Regional Park District for Northwest Territories for design, construction and operation.
