Energy used for buildings and transportation makes up half of Ashland's historic greenhouse gas emissions. Most of these emissions are from the combustion of natural gas by residential and commercial buildings, electricity consumption, and gasoline used to fuel residential on-road travel. Addressing energy-related emissions requires a combination of reduced and cleaner energy use. Ashland's current energy source is largely sourced from clean hydropower purchased from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA; 81%). Switching existing fuels, like natural gas and gasoline,to cleaner fuels such as low-carbon electricity can lower the overall emissions profile of current energy use and reduce reliance on foreign fuels. Furthermore,the introduction of new clean energy sources, such as local renewable energy, as well as increased energy efficiency, can help offset the increased electricity loads caused by fuel switching and increased cooling demands anticipated under future climate change.These actions in combination act synergistically to reduce total energy-related emissions. The following Climate and Energy Action Plan strategies are cornerstones of this clean energy transition: • Support cleaner energy sources. • Enhance resiliency to fluctuations in energy markets and supply. • Support more efficient vehicles. Example actions within these strategies include supporting community solar projects, installing smart grid technologies, and introducing actions and initiatives that accelerate fuel switching such as electric vehicle infrastructure requirements and codes. 2. Maximize water and einergy efficiency, and r-eu��se. The production and use of energy and water resources within the built environment greatly affects Ashland's carbon emissions and vulnerability to climate impacts. Energy used by buildings contributes almost a third of Ashland's greenhouse gas emissions. Water consumption for residential and commercial buildings and surrounding green spaces put considerable demand on community water resources, which may become scarcer and in higher demand as temperatures increase and summer water availability declines. Reducing water and energy resource use associated with Ashland's built environment will cut emissions, ease loads on the utility, and help secure resource supply and resiliency in a changing climate.The introduction of cleaner energy sources can reduce energy-related emissions to an extent, but improved energy efficiency will also be required to achieve deep emission reductions. In some cases, cutting emissions through energy efficiency improvements can be more cost-effective than adding new renewable energy sources.The following Climate and Energy Action Plan strategies support water and energy efficiency: • Encourage increased building energy efficiency. • Adapt buildings to a changing climate. 1 DRAFT 10/14/2016 • Manage and conserve community water resources. Example actions within these strategies include adjusting land use codes and incentives to support resource-efficient design and water reuse and/or on-site storage systems, sponsoring building energy retrofit programs and water conservation rebate programs, introducing rate-based incentives, and providing educational materials aimed at awareness and behavior change. The introduction of passive and heat-tolerant building principles can also reduce cooling energy needs during heat waves and minimize heat-related public health impacts. n S i„�i��,,, d r c h i ma „u,,,,,, .,,,, ° 'e n d I y I a t„i s e a ri d Sri a n a g,,,,,,,,a rn ,�ri't The use and management of Ashland lands play a significant role in both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for climate impacts. Development that promotes transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes of transport reduce emissions from on-road vehicles,which account for the majority of transportation-related emissions. Proper management and conservation of land resources can also provide important ecosystem services like water storage and flow attenuation, shade, and biodiversity that make the city and its resources more resilient to threats posed by climate change. Strategies in the Climate and Energy Action Plan that support climate-friendly land use and management include the following: • Make Ashland more bike-and pedestrian-friendly to reduce dependence on vehicles. • Support better public transit and ridesharing. • Support more climate-friendly development and land use. • Promote ecosystem resilience. • Manage ecosystems and landscapes to minimize climate-related health impacts. • Manage and conserve community water resources. Actions within these strategies include transit-oriented development and the provision of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.Also, improved management and conservation of lands that provide habitat for vulnerable species, enhance tree canopy and green space, use and store water efficiently and effectively, and minimize wildfire damage will help prepare the city for changes in temperatures, water availability, and wildfire risk. a r b o n 4 -, ,,,,,s.I-Reduce COIISUrnptlolll Of The production and delivery of goods and services consumed by Ashland households contribute to almost half of Ashland's greenhouse gas emissions.These goods and services include food; goods like furniture, home construction materials, electronics, and clothing; and the production of transport fuels, natural gas, and electricity. Certain foods, such as meats, are more carbon-intensive to produce than other foods like dairy and grains, and therefore contribute the largest proportion of food-related emissions. Despite the large contribution of household consumption to Ashland's greenhouse gas footprint,the City of Ashland has little direct control over household purchasing behavior, and therefore City-initiated options to reduce emissions from this source are limited. Strategies in the Climate and Energy Action Plan that contribute towards reducing consumption of carbon-intensive goods and services include the following: 2 DRAFT 10/14/2016 • Reduce consumption. • Support sustainable and accessible local production and consumption. Actions within these strategies that promote reduced consumption include facilitating marketplaces for reuse and sharing such as tool-lending libraries and reuse fairs; expanding the construction and demolition debris diversion code; sustaining local food production such as through farmer's markets and community gardens; and distributing outreach and education materials on the impacts of consumer choices. ,,,, EcIt.ic.ate n m I° anc]a governrnent. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience to climate impacts in Ashland is a communitywide effort. Everyone, including residents, businesses, organizations, institutions, and departments within the City itself, must understand what is needed and work together to take action. This strategy involves the City working closely internally and with the public, local stakeholder groups, and other jurisdictions and agencies to communicate climate priorities, coordinate action, and inspire change. The City must also continue to learn from and listen to these parties to ensure that actions are coordinated, relevant, and effective. Specific strategies within the Climate and Energy Action Plan that support this education and coordination effort include the following: • Educate and empower the public. • Educate and empower City staff. • Mainstream climate considerations. • Enhance City communication and coordination to minimize public health impacts. • Enhance City communication and coordination to minimize public safety impacts. • Promote a sustainable local economy that minimizes emissions and vulnerability. 6. 1............ead by exarnple. Although emissions from Ashland City operations make up a relatively small proportion of the community's overall greenhouse gas emissions, City leadership in reducing its own operational emissions can inspire community action, enhance operational efficiencies, and reduce costs.This strategy involves the City taking actions to reduce its own carbon footprint and make City operations more climate resilient, including by training internal staff, optimizing City facilities, and improving equipment and purchasing processes. Strategies in the Climate and Energy Action Plan that support this City leadership include the following: • Maximize efficiency of City facilities, equipment, and operations. • Increase the efficiency of City fleet and employee commuting. • Improve sustainability of City operations and purchases. • Conserve water use within City operations. • Optimize city operations/programs to minimize employee health impacts. 3 Ashland Open House#3 Plan DRAFT 10/27/2016 Open House Objective: Provide the public the opportunity to review the draft plan, ask questions, and submit comments. Prior to the Open House: Two weeks prior to the open house (by 11/23), we will publish a draft version of the plan on the City website and ask the public to provide initial questions via an online survey by one week prior to the event (11/30).These questions will be compiled prior to the event and most commonly stated questions will be identified.These identified questions will be addressed during a Q&A session at the open house. The City and consultant team will draft talking points prior to the open house in response to these questions/comments. If possible, we will identify members of the public who will ask those questions during the open house. At the Open House: The open house will begin with a story that underscores the need to address climate change. Jeff will greet the attendees and allow the Mayor and/or Rich to provide welcome remarks and describe the open house and CEAP objectives.Jeff will then provide a brief presentation that overviews the objectives of the open house and introduces the panel. (20 minutes) The panel will consist of Adam, Rich, Andrea, and one or two ad-hoc committee members. Each panel member will tell a part of the story of the CEAP through a 3-5 minute presentation (total 20 minutes) • Why a plan?Why the plan was commissioned,what purposes it serves. • How was it formed?Who's been involved,what the process was like. • What does it do?What the plan entails,who the target audiences are, and how it will be used. • What's my role?The role of the public in making the plan a success. • Where do we go from here? First steps for plan implementation; ongoing ways to engage. After the presentation,the panel will respond to frequently asked questions as identified before the open house (20 minutes). Other questions can be asked one-on-one with CEAP representatives following the Q&A session. All panelists will be provided with talking points prior to the event. After the Q&A session, attendees will have an opportunity to chat one-on-one with CEAP representatives, read through boards that highlight CEAP elements, and provide comment through online survey and comment cards. There will also be a game for attendees to commit individual pledges to take climate action. We will provide space for attendees to pledge for various individual actions listed in the plan (or even actions that are not listed!). Pledges will be labeled with the estimated GHG emissions reductions associated with that action. These pledges will be tallied to understand which individual voluntary actions hold most promise in the plan, and which may require more incentives, as well as how many emissions reductions to expect next year from the public! Office of the Governor 160 State Capitol 900 Court Street Salem, OR 97301-4047 September 10, 2016 RE: Support for Zero Emission Vehicles Dear Governor Brown, We,the undersigned, are writing to you today to express our support for smart and effective policies that will help put more zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) on the roads here in Oregon. Cleaning up our cars means giving our residents cleaner air to breathe, putting money back in their pockets and supporting local high-quality jobs. ZEVs drastically cut oil consumption and improve our national security while producing little to zero dangerous tailpipe emissions. Since the American Lung Association gave many cities in our region a failing or poor grade for our air quality in 2015, more ZEVs on the road means drastically improved air quality and less asthma attacks for our residents. Moreover,the average cost of fueling a car with electricity is significantly cheaper while being better for our health and environment. This means the money saved can be invested back into our communities and state. Consumer demand for these vehicles is growing. In the first half of 2016, U.S.ZEV sales have increased about 20%over the first half of 2015. At the local level,we're committed to doing our part to accommodate this demand and accelerate ZEV adoption through a variety of programs such as growing our municipal ZEV fleets and installing public and workplace electric vehicle charging stations. Local programs coupled with state, regional and federal programs can go a long way towards accelerating the ZEV market. In particular,we look forward to working with your administration to achieve the goals of the Zero Emission Vehicle program, which calls for 133,000 ZEVs to be put on the road in Oregon by 2025. Thanks to Oregon's adoption of this ZEV program,the future for electric vehicles in our state is bright— especially with the elimination of the travel loophole exemption that will require automakers to begin selling a growing percentage of ZEVs in our state and eight others starting in 2018. 1 urge you to support the California Air Resources Board to continue its strong ZEV policies that allow states like Oregon to continue leading the way on clean cars.
