JPA Board Correspondence
DISCUSSION
At the May 9, 2024 Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting, the CAC made the following recommendation to the Board of Directors.
WHEREAS, it is an Institutional Priority of Peninsula Clean Energy to contribute to member jurisdictions reaching the State’s 2045 goal to be 100% greenhouse gas free for transportation and building electrification by 2035; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors issued a directive in September 2021 on reaching 100% greenhouse gas free by 2035; and
WHEREAS, member jurisdictions have limited resources and time within which to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the above goals; and WHEREAS, the Peninsula Clean Energy Community Advisory Committee believes both the mission of Peninsula Clean Energy and the best interests of member jurisdictions would be served by ensuring member jurisdictions are well informed of the likely relative effectiveness of existing and planned building electrification policies, model ordinances, and regulations offered by PCE, in making progress toward those goals.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Peninsula Clean Energy Community Advisory Committee respectfully requests that the PCE Board of Directors direct staff to disclose to all its member jurisdictions and the public, for each existing and planned building electrification policy, model ordinance, and regulation, promoted or offered by Peninsula Clean Energy: the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduction and co-benefits that could realistically be achieved by adopting such policy, ordinance, or regulation.
ADOPTED by The Community Advisory Committee this 9th Day of May 2024.
