RE: Overarching Strategy—Draft
Enclosed for the Committee's review is a draft document that establishes the Plan's theme and broad
strategy to achieve the goals and targets set in ordinance and detailed within the plan document itself.
The goal of the overarching strategy is somewhat of an executive summary of the implementation plan
to provide context and narrative description of how the various focus area strategies and actions weave
together and work together to meet the stated goals.
As the project teams starts assembling the elements of the plan, the overarching strategy will assist in setting some
of the initial priority levels of the various actions within each focus area.
Committee Questions
• Is the listed priority/order of themes correct or should they be rearranged? If so, please explain?
• Does any particular element need to be highlighted more than is shown in the draft document?
• Are there any glaring omissions in either the five themes or in the narrative that describes each?

DRAFT 10/14/2016
Ashland CEAP :
I,,,,,. 1,,,,,,,,,rar"isit'lon
to , deari er e r,,'gy.
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.

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!

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.
Respectfully,
cc: California Air Resources Board
