Resolution Supporting Cities for Climate, Protection 2. Fact sheet on Sonoma County Climate Protection Campaign 3. Proclamation 4. Press Democrat Editorial Summary Statement The Cities for Climate Protection Campaign, sponsored by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) has invited the City of Petaluma to become a partner in a campaign to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To date, all nine Sonoma County cities, along with the County of Sonoma, have endorsed this campaign, malting Sonoma County the first county in the nation to matte such a commitment. (The City of Petaluma previously presented ICLEI with a Mayoral Proclamation pledging to increase public awareness and reduce the impacts of greenhouse gases). More than 530 cities and local goveniinents around the world are acting together to curb climate change. On Monday, July 22, 2002, Governor Davis signed AB 14931, a landmark bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from California's vehicles. A jurisdiction does not need to join ICLEI to be part of the Climate Protection Campaign. If the City chooses to complete the program milestones, it is estimated to take 400 -450 hours for an intern to complete Milestone. One. The City of Santa Rosa, for example, budgeted $10,000 for membership dues, funding of one intern ($15 /1 x 416 hours) plus software and workshop registration fees.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Petaluma commits to participating in the Cities for Climate Protection and pledges to: • take a leadership role in promoting public awareness about the causes and impacts of climate change; and • undertake the; Cities for Climate Protection program's five milestones to reduce both greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions throughout the community, specifically: econduct a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and forecast to determine the source and quantity of GHG emissions in the jurisdiction; &establish a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target; e develop an action plan with both existing and future actions which, when inlplemeilted, will meet the local greenhouse gas reduction target; -implement the action plan; and ®monitor to review progress BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Petaluma requests assistance from the ICLEI Cities for Climate Protection Campaign as it progresses through the milestones. SONO A COUNTY CLIMATE PROTECTION CAMPAIGN P.O. Box 558 Craton, CA 954444 (7 07) 829-1224 Date: August 8, 2002 To: Mayors and staff of Sonoma cities From: Ann Hancock and Mille Sandler Subject: Proposed project to support cities' ghg emission inventories With vision and boldness, all of Sonoma's nine cities pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions as part of the itlternational campaign let by the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives - ICLEI. The County is also expected to officially jour the effort this month. For the first time in the U.S., all governments in an area participate in climate protection, The County and Santa Rosa have completed their ghg emissions 'n Tentories— ICLEI's Milestone One. To support the remainuig eight cities in moving forward with Milestones One and Two, the County of Sonoma is considering a project with the follouT'g objective: Eight Sonoma cities will complete their ghg emissions inventories and be offered recommendations for their emissions reduction targets within six months. BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT • Cities will accomplish more, faster, and for less money coordinating through this project than they can individually. • Working together, local governments will jump start climate protection in Sonoma County. Through this project, cities will share information including accessing expertise acquired by the County and Santa Rosa when ;;measuring their ghg emissions, reduce duplication of effort, and thus streamline the inventory process considerably. • Cities and the County will build an effective collaboration for climate protection. The Sonoma County Waste Management Agency, the proposed administrative home for this project, provides a model for the envisioned collaboration. • Sonoma County will nspiu e other corrumunities to tackle the challenge of climate protection. Sonoi na's precedent uritl 100 percent participation demonstrates that this effort can grow rapidly. Sonoma County now has the opportunity to demonstrate how local governments can coordinate efforts to expeditiously achieve their milestones. Total cost of the project will be $$50,000, with $25,000 from the cities and $25,000 from the County. To participate, each city will: • Pay the Sonoma County Waste Management Agency $3125 • Purchase software from ICLEI at. an additional cost of either $275 with ICLEI membership or $475 without naeinbership. The cost of ICLEI membership depends on population size; for most Sonoma cities the amount will be $$600. • Mahe staff available as appropriate for this effort. Staff tillie for this project is not expected to be significant, based on other cities' experience.
