B A C K G R O U N DIn July 20 0 9, the Oakland City Council directed staff to develop a draft Oakland Energy andClimate Action Plan using a preliminary planning GHG reduction target equivalent to 36%below 200 5 GH G em issions by 20 20 , and annual benchmarks for meeting the target.A draft Oakland Energy and Climate Action Plan (ECAP) has been developed to identify andprioritize actions to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inOakland to meet the adopted GH G reduction goals. The ECA P is intended to clarify policydirection and provide a roadmap for the City and the Oakland comm unity in a framework thatsupports implementation and funding decisions. Taking action to reduce GHG emissions willcontinue O akland 's legacy of leadership on energy, climate and sustainability issues.The ECAP development began in November 2 00 8 by holding multiple community workshopsfor residents and businesses to gather input on GHG reduction targets and actions forconsideration. The Public Works Agency has led the development of the ECAP , working incollaboration with staff throughout the City organization, external subject matter experts, andcommunity stakeholders.Hundreds of Oakland residents and businesses have provided input, which helped to shape theanalysis and inform the development of the draft ECAP. Local organizations provided valuableassistance by providing additional outreach and gathering input for the development of theECAP.K E Y IS S U E S AN D I M P A C T SThe primary focus of the ECAP is to recommend GHG reduction actions (also called mitigationmeasures) through which the City government can put Oakland in position to meet theestablished t argets. The ECA P will identify the role that recent State policies are expected to playin reducing emissions and the scale of vital comm unity leadership and engagement needed. Inaddition to GH G reduction actions, the ECA P includes a plan for identifying the foreseeableimpacts of climate change to the Cit y's infrastructure caused by changes in sea level, fresh wateravailability, and weather and describes actions, called adaption measures, for consideration.The attached PowerPoint slideshow will be presented at the City Council Special Workshop onM arch 30 , 201 0 .P R O G R A M D E S C R I P T I O NThe draft ECA P will be released on April 2 2 , 2 01 0 (Earth Day). Com munity w orkshops will beheld for the public to give input. Additionally, public comment will be accepted for severalweeks after the community workshops through the City's website. Following the public

comment period, a revised draft of the ECAP will be forwarded through the City Councilprocess. P ublic comment w ill be taken during this process.The draft ECAP public comment schedule is:

April 2 2, 20 10 - P ublic release of draft ECAP April 2 3 , 20 10 - P ublic comment period begins via City website M ay 6, 20 10 - Community workshops on draft ECAP June 11 , 2010 End of public comment period on draft ECAPS U S T A I N A B L E O P P O R T U N I T I E SEconom ic: M any potential GH G reduction actions can save money through improved efficiency,and decreased waste, as well as create other economic benefits through job creation and businessattraction.Environmental: R educing GH G emissions can create significant environmental benefits byhelping to reduce the impacts of climate change, as well as potentially conserving water andnatural resources, reducing impacts associated with landfills, improving local air quality,reducing ecological impacts associated with po llution, and many others.Social Equity: R educing GH G emissions can result in social equity benefits, such as through thecreation of green jobs, reduction in local air pollutants in specific areas, and targeting ofprograms to underserved communities.DISABILITY AND SENIOR CITIZEN ACCESSThis is an informational report and will not have any direct impact on access for persons withdisabilities or senior citizens.
