Call to Order Councilor Rich Rosenthal called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m. Committee members Bryan Sohl, Cindy Bernard, Stuart Green, Jim Hartman, James McGinnis, Louise Shawkat, Claudia Alick, Greg Jones, Marni Koopman, Roxane Beigel-Coryell, and Isaac Bevers were present. Staff member Adam Hanks was present. Consultants Andrea Martin and Jill Simmons were present via speakerphone. 2. Around the Room Group did an around the room team building regarding how they think the process is going and one thing they think we can do better. 3. Public Input Ken Crocker — stated that he appreciated today's around the room check -in and thinks it's a nice way to start and a good way to improve the process. The wanted to re-emphasise the importance of using science as a guiding principle in this process. He thinks the group needs more emphasis on what that 8% per year reduction actually does. How does using 8% per year reduction guide the selection of the over one hundred actions the group is reviewing? He wanted to know if a process was in place for making good selections of options. Some of the actions are incremental improvements but others need to be complete paradigm shifts — or does the group not have paradigm shifting action in the list of options? Robert Block -Brown — stated that he has similar concerns as Ken regarding the need for transformational pieces — those things can be daunting but he believes that education is the key to making long-term, effective progress. He stated that he just received notification of a discussion regarding a potential new city hall. This would be a great way for this group to lead by example in an actual project. The project should include solar, zero -net landscaping, LEED certification, etc. James Stephens — gave a review of the recent City Council's approval of the 1 Ox20 ordinance. He thinks that there are three takaways from this approval: 1) this is a great thing for the city to have done; 2) the City has to step up and do lots of work now; and 3) the 1 Ox20 ordinance wasn't giving staff specific direction — this is instead about the Ashland community coming together. He stated that this ordinance dovetails into exactly what this committee is doing. He offered to provide technical expertize if this group needs it. Huelz Gutchen — stated that last night's Council meeting was beautiful — he is glad the Council made the right choice. He stated that he knows how to do the financing for creating the local energy, but only on this side of the grid. He stated that the price of gasoline will go up due to Minutes for the Climate and Energy Action Plan ad hoc Committee September 7, 2016 Page 2 of 3 OPEC having no reserves at the moment. He stated that science is measuring and data watching, but that's not very interesting to most people. He talked to the Land Use Division of the State of Oregon who have no information on climate change, so they don't know how to make land use codes to reflect that. However, we can make those codes ourselves. 4. Approval of Minutes Group approved the minutes of August 17, 2016 with two minor edits. 5. Plan Development Rosenthal read aloud the committee's Scope of Work as a refresher. He stated that he did so because this group has now been meeting for one year and he thought it was important to remember the challenges they are committed to working through. Rosenthal introduced Jeff Golden and, via telephone, Jill Simmons who gave information on her experience creating two climate plans for the City of Seattle. She stated that she had a few lessons from doing those plans including: 1. The plan is both critical and not nearly as important as what we might think it is (i.e. having an overview of what we hope to achieve is more important than making every single action `shovel -ready'). 2. Remember that the plan is just the beginning — things evolve, change, become more or less important. 3. Have a clear implementation and check-in/update process. 4. The plan cannot provide enough detail for every action to be ready to go immediately. Lots of cost/benefit and planning must occur after the plan is in -place (and that's a good thing, or the plan would never be finished). 5. The plan needs both staff and financial capacity to keep it going (i.e. there needs to be buy -in from those who will implement the plan whether that's city staff, budget members, or master - plan creators). 6. The most important role for the committee is to get the community involved and excited about actions. The group needs to propose ways to keep the community and City connected on an on -going basis Group had a short discussion with Ms. Simmons about her thoughts on the current process. Group decided that there are several topics they still need to discuss, but don't currently have time in the regular meeting schedule. Rosenthal proposed that the group meet on one or two Saturdays to tackle the following: • The ordinance • Next steps on the l Ox20 ordinance • How to incorporate science -based targets (does that change the overall goal?) • How/when to use subject-mater experts • Should there be a separate consumption -based goal? Staff will send a poll to determine the best date(s) for this potential meeting. Minutes for the Climate and Energy Action Plan ad hoc Committee September 7, 2016 Page 3 of 3 6.Open House Plan Group discussed with Cascadia (via speaker phone) the current plan for the open house. Hanks requested that the group distribute the flyer by the same methods as they did for the previous open house. He will send the final version next week. Group discussed the desire to have more clarity on goal choices. They also discussed a desire to have a way to get people more emotionally involved. Some members of the group expressed concerns that it was premature to show the public the actions proposed. Cascadia clarified that these will be shown only as examples of what could be done — not as items for the public to vote yes or no. Group discussed whether or not to have a speaker talk about the upcoming ordinance. Mr. Golden and Cascadia agreed to consider ways to do that. 7. Geos Vulnerability Assessment Koopman stated that as each community is unique, it is important to do an assessment to understand our specific community issues. She gave an overview of the process used to create the report and stated that the focus of the report is on adaptation strategies. She expects that this assessment will be final soon, hopefully prior to the September 25th open house. Rosenthal stated that he would prefer if Geos changed the titles in Table 1 from, "solutions" to "potential actions," so people don't get the idea that we are implementing these suggestions. Koopman agreed to this request. The group thanked Koopman and Geos for their work. 8. Strategies and Actions Mr. Golden gave an overview of how the strategies and actions will be used at the open house. They need to show at least a small number of actions to help clarify/define the strategies. Group discussed some of their confusion over the layout of the actions in the packet. Cascadia stated that some of it might be sorting errors, which will get straightened out. Also, for the sake of clarity at the open house some actions which were ranked lower by the committee members may be used as examples, just to show the community the broad range of possibilities to consider. 9. Next Meeting Hartman asked if the group could alter the early meeting time to 4:30 p.m. Staff stated that the challenge is in finding a meeting space at that time (the Siskiyou Room is not available) but that they would search for an alternate space. If none found, the time will have to stay the same. 10. Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 5:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Diana Shiplet, Executive Assistant Cascadia Consulting Group September 2016 C A, S CA ru" I A \L;oi CONSULTING GROLre iiNl uuu luiitu uul�o d u c uuu�I� �iuiou y Ill�l�ltt 'I�I�I��luitt �IVIImu I�UIIU�°�� Development of the City of Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP) includes an open and inclusive public involvement process with ample opportunities to inform and involve the public. This public input summary document provides a high-level overview of notable trends, opinions, and priorities as revealed through an online survey, in -person comments, and station exercises at the second open house. The second open house for the Ashland Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP), held on September 25, 2016, was intended to capture the community's ideas and priorities for climate mitigation and adaptation action in the city of Ashland. Specifically, objectives of the open house were to provide the public with an opportunity to do the following: 4P Learn about the outcomes from modeling Ashland's future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profiles. IIIII� Learn about the results of community climate vulnerability workshops. nut Learn about and provide input on potential climate mitigation and adaptation goals, strategies, and actions along the following focus areas: - Cross -cutting strategies - Buildings and energy - Transportation, land use, and urban form - Consumption and waste - Natural systems - Public health, safety, and security The input compiled from this open house will be used along with input from City staff and the ad -hoc committee, and together with careful evaluation of potential actions against agreed -upon metrics such as cost, effectiveness, and feasibility to help identify recommendations for priority actions in the plan. Specifically, the input will be analyzed and considered in devising the overarching emissions reduction targets; sectors of focus; and implementation strategies and actions of the plan. The public were invited to provide input at the open house through a variety of venues, including the following: ««� Open-ended comment cards: Attendees were provided with small comment cards that included space for their name, address, email address, and comment. Online survey: A public online survey that provided space for comments and prioritization of strategies was provided on iPads during the event. SMS poll: Attendees could vote on the focus area most important to them by text message using a SMS poll that was live at the public open house. Oil Station #1: Ashland's Future Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Attendees could write their preferences and reactions to the forecast of Ashland's GHG emissions and options for a communitywide emissions reduction target. Attendees used post -it notes to express their vote for the emissions reduction goal they supported the most. 411 Station #2: Ashland's Climate Vulnerability: Attendees could learn more about the results from Ashland's recent climate vulnerability community workshops and comment on what they see as the most important resources, systems, or populations to pay attention to in preparing for climate change. 4111 Stations #3-8: Goals, Strategies, and Action — Attendees could review potential goals, strategies, and actions across the six focus areas of the CEAP. Attendees were given "dot" stickers with which they could show support for individual strategies. They were also given $1,000 worth of play money with which to "invest" in the strategies they would most want to fund through the plan. In this document, input is organized by elements of the CEAP, such as the emission reduction target, climate vulnerability priorities, and focus area strategies and actions.

Voters favored the most aggressive target, 8 percent reduction per year, and several also pushed for carbon neutrality of both sector- and consumption -based emissions. Reduce consumption. Though the consumption and waste focus area did not receive the most investment or votes among attendees, many write-in comments touched on the importance of consumption reduction goals and education for residents. AID, Support vulnerable populations. Commenters noted several strategies, such as weatherizing homes, supporting mental health, or banning shut-off of utilities to those who can't pay bills to help support the populations most vulnerable to climate impacts. 411 Develop more transit options and bike- and pedestrian -friendly infrastructure. �u Make this information more widely available. Several commenters suggested making open house materials available in other places, such as online through Facebook, in city libraries, etc. »�IIIIIV Ip 1�fi11111V1111 I '�IIIIIIu ICI I V 111 IIII si IIII el e el SI IIIII »IId»I u 1 I IIIIII (IIIIIIIII IIIIIII IIIIIIIII. u IIIIIII IIIIIIIII.QQ 11 I� I I,,,»»»IIWW�I�iII I �u IIIIIIIIIIII1 I 'W�� �� W P � � ''.. � ��� I ��������� IIIIV ��1�.

If the CEAP is passed & the city commits to follow up, it might just need this target. Option 2: AND, Sector -based emissions target — more likely to succeed because sector -based are more controllable. AID, It's aligned with other cities' goals, so shared resources & ideas. It's measurable and achievable. Option 3: ��I�IQ» We can measure some things well now — others need to be improved, but the goal needs to be about all emissions. 411 We need to set goals based on the best available climate science. Ashland has a responsibility to meet our global contribution to slowing climate change. Ambitious goals are best. m11Q1 8% per year — let's get the consumption emissions down. IQII Go for carbon -neutral for sector & consumption. The science will catch up. 1 Option 3 is the only ambitious goal to create real change. IIIIQ I favor option 3 because that is what is necessary. And I think Ashland has the will to do it. IIIQI (Vote split between Option 2 and 3) Ashland should be a leader and offsets should be local. w@ Sector targets should be measured annually on an 8% emissions reduction/year. Consumption goals should be included in ordinance as well and should be integrated into planning. ��IIIQ» 8% per year sounds very ambitious. But I will support and do my part. 411Q1 If at all possible. This is too serious to piddle around. Other votes: ��IIIQI Household consumption needs to be addressed. People need to be educated about how their behavior adds to climate change. Need to encourage people to buy (and make!) locally and to reduce consumption. 41111 Zero GHG emissions by 2040 — pedal to the metal. �1111111� Our goal should be carbon neutral. 411 The goal should always be 100%.

Make it affordable and fun to use. 4111 Coniferous forests at risk from reduced water availability and increased risk of catastrophic wildfire. 4111 Water cycle capture, storage, and release 411V� It is important that historically disadvantaged communities not only aren't harmed, but that they benefit from actions the city takes and are prioritized. 4111 It is vital that mitigation and adaptation plans are evaluated based on the vulnerability assessment. 411 The most vulnerable residents — low-income children, elderly, and disabled. Aid with weatherization and a utility moratorium to protect from shutoffs. 411 For our most vulnerable — need to provide protection against utility shutoffs for those unable to pay their bills and weatherization. Also, we need cooling and warming centers, a break in electric rates in summer as well as winter, free air conditioners for low income vulnerable populations, and a system whereby people check in on their neighbors. 401 Water! Forest. Caring for the forest, thinning to protect large tees and encourage water getting to the ground. Poor — increasing costs must be subsidized. ADD, We need to protect our forests and water supply. We should safeguard our food supply by using permaculture based landscaping for homes, businesses, and college. 411 Handling stress and other mental health issues is important. Resiliency is higher if people are prepared to help themselves and each other. 4111 The Trouble Makers 411 Puh-leez. This is not wolverine habitat and has not been since the Little Ice Age. 41���1, We need to ensure resources to support the most vulnerable: low income, outside workers, persons with health issues. Persons with more resources need to help those with less. 4111 Biodiversity (humans move, many plants and animals cannot) 41 Protecting biodiversity and natural system function is very important as they define our region and can help buffer against impacts. �1111V� The homeless are first wave of refugees. Build small house communities and pass renter's right 90-day eviction notice. Renters are most vulnerable. 411 You seem to have the human populations concern, so I will speak up for the animal/plan populations. Because abundant biodiversity = healthy habitat.

Is there clean electricity? Reduction of energy use should come first. Many offices (city and other) have lights on all day. There are many ways we could reduce consumption. Money saved through demand management could be invested in local renewable wind and solar. iuoV "Maximize efficiency of City buildings, facilities, etc" —A no-brainer. 411 Developing distributed energy (Le.

I think the city should assist their employees in accomplishing this. Regarding "support more climate -friendly development and land use": o This serves as the foundation for all the other strategies. o Make boundary interfaces a priority.

Of the four respondents: AID, 3 live within Ashland city limits, and 1 lives outside Ashland, but within Jackson County. 411 2 respondents are female, and 2 are male. 3 respondents are of White/Caucasian descent, and 1 declined to answer. All respondents are over 35. 3 respondents hold an advanced degree, and 1 holds some college or a 2-year degree. They had the following final comments, concerns, or questions: AND, This survey is biased and the outcome is predetermined, restriction of private choice and empowerment of govt. oversight and regulation. It was almost impossible to rank choices since all the options were undesirable. There are many options to consider and it is a little overwhelming to keep track of them all. The committee needs to form a priority or Pareto chart to go after the most effective strategies in each area.

Because of this, the committee discussion on implementation plan will be delayed until the October 15, 2016 LEAP committee meeting where the ordinance discussion was already scheduled to occur. The implementation plan to be presented on October 15 will contain recommended structure for the following: • Advisory level oversight for plan implementation (community plan and City operations component) • Process for recommendation and approval of plan updates • General role and responsibilities for CEAP staff position (anticipating committee recommendation) • Monitoring, evaluation and reporting of plan progress City of Ashland ADMINISTRATION DEPT Tel: 541-552-2046 . 20 East Main St Fax: 541-488-5311 Ashland, Oregon 97520 TTY: 800-735-2900 www.ashland.or.us adamgashland.onus CITY OF ASHLAND Memo DATE: October 1, 2016 TO: CEAP Committee FROM: Adam Hanks, Administration RE: Vision Statement At the request of several CEAP Committee members, a discussion regarding the draft vision statement has been placed on the October 5, 2016 meeting agenda.
