Sept 6 Update to City Council

The City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) advanced another step last night when Council voted to move ahead with a mailed statistical survey, due to land in the mailboxes of 2,500 randomly selected residents in late September. As part of the City’s ongoing public engagement activities around the CAP, responses will help reveal more about the community’s climate priorities and level of support for the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction actions to be included in the plan. Results are slated to be presented to Council in mid-November of this year.

The 50-minute session included discussion of specific survey questions, structure, and other logistical details, as well as CAP schedule updates and next steps. The survey will incude all 58 of the GHG reduction and resiliency actions originally drafted and discussed at prior CAP meetings; based on consultant analysis, this gives the City the best chance at attaining its stated GHG commitments for 2030, 2040, and 2050. Meeting materials are available here(External link) (Item 14), or link directly to the archived video of the presentation(External link). The slidedeck delivered is available in the Let's Talk Document Library.
