1. Climate Action Plan Update
Dear City Council Members,
Staff is working with a consultant team to create a list of measures and actions to update the Climate Action Plan (CAP) to provide a roadmap for the City to reach its greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction targets and put the City on the path to carbon neutrality. Measures are policies to achieve specic GHG reductions and actions are programs or steps that support the measures.

A draft list of measures and actions was presented to the Council Sustainability Committee on October 6, 2022. Staff has conducted signicant community engagement and has incorporated their priorities and concerns as much as possible. The full list of measures and actions (186) has been updated and was included as an attachment in the email containing the link to this survey.

Preliminary estimates show that we may need to implement all 186 actions in order to achieve the 2030 target. We have paired down the list in this survey to ask for your thoughts on 19 actions that require "structural change," meaning a new program or ordinance. Actions not included in this survey are supporting actions and include partnerships, community engagement, and educational programs.

For actions with quantiable GHG emission reductions and staff implications, staff is asking Council Members to select, 'Support', 'Do not Support', or 'Support with Modication.' If you do not support or support with modication, staff would be interested in knowing the reasoning so we can potentially adjust to address the concerns and create an action that is best for our community.

Current staff does not have the capacity to implement many of the actions identied in the draft list. Staff anticipates that implementation of the updated CAP will require multiple new staff positions. Prior to adoption of the updated CAP , staff will provide a detailed analysis of scal impacts, including stang resources. After we receive Council feedback from this survey and during a work session tentatively scheduled for May 2023, staff will revise the list and then complete a more detailed analysis of potential GHG reductions.

Additionally, price all public parking spaces for all areas of the city based on available transportation options, travel demand, and land use. (Timeframe: 2026-2030)
Action T-3.8: Fund active and public transit programs through a local gasoline tax and/or through paid parking fees. (Timeframe: 2026-2030) Action T-3.9: Implement a Transportation Network Company (TNC) user tax which would put a small fee on the use of Uber and Lyft and generate funds to pay for transit and mobility infrastructure.
