Ashland"s Energy Sources
I. The City of Ashland Electric Utility (The City) purchases - %of the nrnrnunit "s net
electricity it consumption from Bonneville Power Administration PA).
2. The City generates 1- of the + nrnrnrrunit -s net electricity consumption from a City owned and
operated hydro generator located near Reeder Reservoir.
3. The electricity that is purchased from BPA is predominantlyfrom, hydroelectric gieneration 85
hyd ro, m nr.0 l ea r, Fund te rrmin (open ma rk t purchases—most recent ca I e n da r year
predominately wind).
. Large scale hydroelectric generation is defined as a clean and renewable energy source by the
S, Department of Energy,, US Energy Information Ad mini tr tinn, S Environmental Protection
Agency, and Oregon Department of n+ rg .
5. The current contract with BPIA expires Sept 301, 2028.
6. The current total cost of wholesale power*, including delivery an man charges, is just over
four cents Per I<wh,.
Ashland's Renewable Eneirgy Requirements
. The State of Oregon requires,that all electric utilities comply with renewable, portfolio standard's
PS), that impose specif ic portions ofthe total power,generation or Purchases by utilities to be
from renewable sources.
. IMPS levels are clifferent foir investor owned utilities, P i i Power and PG and consumer
owned utilities (includes udes municipal .utilities, pubilic Futility clistricts and cooperatives).
3. As a municipal Futility,the City has no additional IMPS requirement until, 2025 when the
requirement is 5%(see future section for ORS exclusions)
. The RPS regulations excIu `existing,hydro" (prior,t �1 , 5)as a qualifying resource in meeting
.utilities RPIS requirement.The IMPS allows upgrades to existing, hydro as a qualifyingresource in
meeting the IMPS requirement.

1.
Efficiency improvements to existing hydro are IMPS qualifying and the City receives its
Proportionate share through h the issuance ,n transfer of R,ECs from BPS hydro system
efficiency improvements.
2. The City has a supplemental contract with BPA for the purchase of an equilivallent of6 of its
total electricity needs through BPA's Environmentally Preferred Power PP, program as
renewable energy credits Cs .
3. The current BPA EPP contr texpiresSe t3 , 2016.
. Custom, r-owned solar systems are not RPS qualifying becausethe customer owns the
associated RECsi, not the City.
. The it 's local hydroelectric generation is not RPS qualifying as it is "existing hydro" (in use
prior to 1995). Efficiency improvements to the hydro generator could qualify.

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF RESIDENTS
AND ECOSYSTEMS OF ASHLAND, ORE OI ,
RECOGNITION OF DUTIES UNDER THE PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE AND THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE AND
OUR POSTERITY TO A LIVABLE FUTURE..AND THE CREATl0 N OF A CLIMATE AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN.
A.The atmosphere is a crucial natural resource protected under the Public Trust Doctrine.
B. All governments, including municipal, have a duty under the Public Trust Doctrine to young people
and future generations to protect the atmosphere and take science-based action on climate change.
C. Climate change is caused by anthropogenic activities, primarily from the consumption of fossil fuels
that emit greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, the primary component Of
natural gas.
p.
D. Dean global temperature is increasing as a result Of increased concentrations Of greenhouse gasses in
the atmosphere.
E.The decade from 2000 to 2010 was the warmest On record; 2015 and 2014 are the two the hottest
years on record; and the twelve consecutive months of May 2015 through April 2016 have each set a
record for global average surface temperatures for their respective months.
F. CO2 levels in the atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million (ppm)for the first time in 800,000 gears
in the year 2013 and now are at the briny Of permanently remaining above 400 ppm in the absence of a
global effort to reduce emissions.
G. Scientists predict that by 2100 average global temperatures will be 2 to 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit
higher than they are now, depending On the rate of emissions.
H. One Of the world's leading climate scientists, Dr.Jaynes Hansen, stated in 2 0 : "If humanity wishes
to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life On Earth is adapted
. . CO2 will reed to be reduced. , .to at most 350 ppm."The scientific prescription for achieving this
reduction requires a annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions globally until 2050, in addition to
substantial reforestation.
1. As climate change continues, the Pacific Northwest will experience a considerable amount Of variation
in temperature and precipitation.This will have a devastating impact On the local environment,
economy, and community while affecting all sectors including water and Other natural resources,
agriculture, and recreation/tourism.
DRAFT: July 201
I Emissions of greenhouse gases are already causing large scale problems including ocean acidification,
ocean warming, and warming of the Earth's surface. These trends lead to rising seas, more frequent and
severe weather events,heavy rainfall and flooding, heat craves and drought, intense and destructive
wildfires, disrupted ecosystems and agriculture, more disease, famine, disrupted economic sectors and
job markets, conflict and human loss of life, and increasing existing inequity and planing an added
burden on those least able to adapt.
I . The health, welfare, and economic future of the citizens of Ashland are threatened by these climatic
changes.
L. Meaningful action is needed at all levels of government to mitigate climate change, protect the
public trust, effectuate climate recovery, and leave a healthy environment and atmosphere for future
generations.The City of Ashland ""The City") is ready to do its part, and will engage its residents, visitors,
businesses and organizations, as well as all other levels of government, to do the same.
M. This ordinance is based on the widely-accepted science of climate change. Specifically,this
ordinance is a direct effort to contribute to climate stabilization and to respond to the present and
future adverse impacts climate change poses to our health and safety, our environment, and our local
and global economies.
N. By this ordinance, Ashland commits itself to actively and significantly reducing all GHG emissions
emanating from within city limits.The GHG reductions prescribed in this ordinance are designed to be in
line with science-based goals, including the goal of returning atmospheric Cot concentrations to below
o ppm by the year 2100.
o. The City will be guided and directed by a Climate and Energy Action Plan, which will be created and
developed by the City with input from Ashland residents. Progress in meeting the prescribed reductions
will be monitored and reported on by the City, and mid-course corrections can and should be made, as
needed.
P. Failure to act immediately could permanently affect the safety, health, welfare, and economic future
of the City and its residents. Delayed action would also result in increased City costs.

1) Within 6 months of the passage of this ordinance,the City shall develop a Climate and
E ne rgY Action Plan, with annual be nehmar s,to reduce gre n ho use gases in the City f =
Ashland in line with the best available science. In 2015 the "best available science{
requires a reduction of GHG emissions by 7.6% per year. By 2050 all City and
community emissions will be at least carbon neutral defined as zero net emissions of
greenhouse gases Hs). _
2) By the year 2030 all City operations,facilities and services will be carbon neutral.The
City will do so by directly reducing City GHG emissions to zero, by funding and
incentiviing verifiable local GHG reduction projects and programs, or, if necessary, by
purchasing verifiable GHG offsets for any remaining emissions, with first priority going
to projects in Southern Oregon, the state of Oregon, or the Pacific Northwest states.
3) By 2030 the City shall reduce its fossil fuel use and consumption by at least 5 %, and by
2050 City fossil fuel use and consumption shall be reduced by at least 100%. Fossil fuel
usage during 2015 as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Inventory commissioned by the
City of Ashland shall be used to establish a baseline for both of these targets.
4) By 2030 all businesses, local governmental entities and individuals living or working in
the city shall collectively reduce the city"s. per capita fossil fuel use and consumption by
at bast 5 %, and by 2050 collective per capita fossil fuel use and consumption shall be
reduced by at least 100%.The baseline for current collective fossil fuel usage shall be
established using the most recent valid data available.
1.2 CLIMATE RECOVERY ACTION—CLIMATE AND ENERGY ACTION PLAINS.
1) Within 5 months of the adoption of this ordinance,the Climate Action Commission shall adopt
and implement:

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Work Session: Climate Recovery Targets and Benchmarks

ISSUE STATEMENT
This is a work session to present targets and benchmarks for reaching the climate action goals
outlined in the Climate Recovery ordinance adopted in July 2014.
BACKGROUND
Climate Recovery ordinance
Adopted by council in July 2014,the Climate Recovery r ordinance:
1) Clarifies and codifies existing internal and community greenhouse gas and fossil fuel goals:
a. reduce total 'community-wide fossil fuel use 0% from 2010 levels by 2030.
br By the year Zoo, all city-owned facilities and city operations shall be carbon
neutral.
2) Calls for a full assessment of current efforts to meet internal and community climate goals.
3) Calls for the development of a science-based community greenhouse gas reduction goal for
Council consideration.
4 Calls for regular progress reports to Council.
5) Establishes a process of analysis, reporting, and readjustment if community or internal
targets are not met.
Targets and Benchmarks for Adopted ed Goals
The Climate Recovery ordinance requires City Council to establish numerical targets and
benchmarks for reaching the climate action goals specified in the ordinance. The Following
numerical targets are accompanied by one and five-year benchmarks to help track progress
toward the goals and all are calculated relative to the emissions in 2 010,,the baseline ye ar.
Internal carbon neutral.. The target is defined as reaching % reduction in operational
emissions by 2020,with the annual purchase of carbon offsets for the remaining 400/0 starting in
2020. Between 01 -2020, the City will need to reduce emissions each year by roughly 1 %.The
target applies to emissions from gas and diesel fuels, natural gas and electricity use.
S up p ly chai.n e mis si ,i A separate target is proposed for reducing the emissions ass o ciate d with
the it 's purchase of goods and services (suppler chain emissions). The proposed target is a
reduction of 50%by 2025. The benchmarks s for reaching this target do not begin until 2020 to
1
allow for improvements in data and tracking of these carbon emissions by vendors/contractors.
Similarly,the purchase o f offsets for any remaining supply chain emissions would not begin until
2025.
Community fossil fuel : The target applies both to city operations and the community at large
for the use of gasoline and diesel, natural gas and the portion ofelectricity generated from fossil
fuels. The target mirrors the goal established in the ordinance: 0% reduction of fossil fuel use by
the year 2030.
Proposed Tar ens and Benchmarks
Goal Target ire Benchmark
Carbon neutral 0% reduction*by 2020 Annual: 15% reduction per year
operations 5 year: 0% reduction by 2020
Internal supply % reduction*by 2025 Annual., 0% reduction per year
chain starting in 2020
emissions 5 year: 0% reduction.by 202
Reduce fossil % reduction*by 2030. Annual: 2.5% reduction per year
fuels 0% 2020: % reduction
Note: some reductions have already % reduction
been ac .ie ed since 2010. 2030: 0% reduction
relative to emissions in 2010, the baseline year.
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE IMPACTS
The specific strategies for reaching the Climate Recovery benchmarks and targets are still under
development and more detailed triple bottom line impacts will be analyzed as these take shape.
Some of the potential impacts are identified below for each of the two goals codified through the
Climate Recovery Ordinance.
Carbon Neutral by 20
Assumptions:
• Broad scale changes in fleet and fuel technology
0 Improved building and infrastructure energy efficiency
0 Adequate availability of renewable electricity to accommodate t .e transition
Widespread electrification of buildings and fleets
Any carbon offsets purchased would be prioritized toward local projects
Potential impacts to the organization:
0 Shifting to renewable electricity, conserving energy,and increasing energy efficiency
insulates the organization from volatile fossil fuel prices and a potential price on carbon
(carbon tax or cap and trade policy).
• Renewable cable electricity provides greater local control and availability of energy during a
power disruption stemming from a natural or human caused hazard event.
2
Significant emissions reductions will likely tale a long time to payback before the
or ani ation experiences ongoing savings. During the payla ack period, capital funds may
not be available for other purposes.
Purchased carbon offsets could come at an opportunity cost for other organizational and
community priorities- depending on how offsets are funded.
Potential impacts to community:
Because City operations are a relatively small piece of community wide energy use and
greenhouse gas emissions, the community-wide effect of achieving the target is relatively
small.
a Reducing fossil fuel consumption in City vehicles would improve health outcomes due to
unproved air quality and reduced noise.
a retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency is likely to employ local workers.
0 To the extent the Citya purchaser urehser of green products or services, it supports local
businesses in expanding those products or services and providing them to others.
With some climate disruption already in process,the costs of arming climate would be
significant. Impacts on local forests and local fisheries will have extreme negative impacts
on the local economy. Additional costs are expected for extreme Moat events (air
conditioning and health care).
Reduce Community Fossil Fuel Use %by 2030
Assumptions:
Broad scale changes in fleet and fuel technology
0 Improved building energy efficiency (residential, commercial, industrial)
'widespread electrification of buildings and fleets
0 Adequate availability of renewable electricity to accommodate the transition
a Transition includes involvement and investments made by partners and institutions across
the community
Partner organizations male similar goals and commitments
• Fossil fuel reduction efforts continue out beyond 2030 at the same rate of reduction
(2.50/o/year)
The community experiences some level of climate disruption
Potential impacts tocommunity:
The fossil fuel reduction goal, even if achieved by the global community, is not adequate to
avoid major climate impacts.
0 Conserving energy through increased energy efficiency saves presidents and businesses
money and insulates community members from volatile fossil fuel prices and potential
price on carbon (carbon tax or cap and trade policy).
n emphasis on compact urban development near transit corridors provides an
opportunity for reducing automobile travel and the related greenhouse gas emissions.
Planning for affordable housing in these areas benefits low-income households who often
must trade-off housing and transportation costs by locating in the outer reaches of the
community.
3
Increased use of active modes of transportation improves health outcomes and sages
presidents Toner.
Weatheri ation programs improve comfort and health outcomes for lower-income
residents clue to improved indoor environments.
With some climate disruption already in process,the costs of a warming climate could be
significant. Impacts on local forests and local fisheries will have extreme negative impacts
on the local economy. Additional costs are expected for extreme heat events (air
conditioning and health care).
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The City maintains a number of policies directly-related to community-wide energy consumption
including,but not limited to:
• Growth Management Policies
• Green Building Policy(2006)
