RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve the attached resolution (Attachment 3) to extend the Ad Hoc Energy and Climate Change Task Force.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the City's Environmental Action Plan 2040 (EAP2040) in July 2019. The EAP2040 establishes a target of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by FY 2030 and 80 to 100 percent by FY 2050 (base year 2005) supported by significant contributions at the state and federal level toward renewable energy and energy efficiency mandates. This target supports meeting the goal of increasing the City's preparedness to respond to the impacts of climate change and environmental emergencies. To work towards meeting this target and goal, the EAP2040 includes Action 1.1.1 where "by
FY 2021, establish a multidisciplinary task force to guide an update of the Energy and Climate Change Action Plan."
