This purpose of this report is to provide an update on climate plan implementation. It is divided into the following sections: 0 Background • CEAP Actions Taken: Implementation to date (Y1) • CEAP Actions Planned: continuing Phase I Implementation (Y2-Y4) • CEAP Future Actions: Phase 11 Implementation (Y5+) • CEAP Roadmap: A visual display of actions over time Q;;;;;;;; a c g ro u r,i d Vision Ashland's Climate Visioof r 2050 is to be a resilient community that has zero net greenhouse gas emissions, embraces equity, protects healthy ecosystems, and creates opportunities for future generations. Read more about City of Ashland's Climate and Energy Action Plan at www.ash land.or.us/cl i mat@pja n &4�s and ra r-gets The CEAP lays out a foundation for the City of Ashland to reduce its emissions and improve its resilience to future impacts of climate change on its environment, infrastructure, and people. The plan's overarching goals and targets focus on addressing climate change risks by reducing Ashland's emissions of climate pollution ("climate mitigation") and preparing the city for unavoidable impacts ("cli t e adaptation 59): 1. Reduce Ashland 5 s contribution to global carbon pollution by reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with City, residential, commercial, and industrial activities. • For the Ashland community: Reduce overall Ashland community greenhouse gas emissions by 8% on average every year to 2050. • For City of Ashland operations: Attain carbon neutrality in City operations by 2030, and reduce fossil fuel consumption by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. 2. Prepare the city's communities, systems, and resources to be more resilient to climate change impacts. ocus Areas The CEAP is primarily organized by focus areas. Each focus areas contains associated goals, strategies, progress indicators, and identified actions. The CEAP identifies 6 focus areas for climate action: 0 Buildings and Energy 0 Urban Form, Land Use, and Transportation 0 Consumption and Materials 0 Natural Systems 0 Public Health, Safety, and Wellbeing 0 Cross-Cutting Strategic kinit III a-t III ves The following overarching strategic initiatives were identified to guide the strategies and actions presented in this plan. While the strategies and actions in this plan are organized by focus areas such as Buildings and Energy, Transportation and Land Use, and Natural Systems, these initiatives cut across these focus areas to emphasize synergistic and integrated solutions for addressing climate in Ashland. Transition to clean energy. Maximize conservation of water and energy. Support climate-friendly land use and management. Reduce consumption of carbon-intensive goods and services. Inform and work with residents, organizations, and government. Lead by example. F' riority Actc.)nc:3) The CEAP identifies more than 60 priority actions. Each of these actions offer a meaningful path to emissions reduction and have been evaluated based on relative cost, efficacy, and co-benefits. Actions that result in direct emissions reduction are a primary focus for City Staff. I rnp�errientation r i rri i n g Each action is assigned to an implementation phase, either: Phase 1: complete by 2020 Phase 11: complete by 2025 Phase I Actions are slated for near-term commencement and meet one or more of the following criteria: Easy, early wins Foundational steps Complex, but important initiatives Windows of opportunity Phase 11 actions Include all actions identified in CEAP, that do not meet Phase I criteria above. Phase 11 actions may be initiated in Phase 1, but not at the expense of completing Phase I actions. Priority actions not meeting these criteria are assigned to Phase 11 Actions ak"e�n CEAP The adopted CEAP included a bulleted implementation plan to help guide City Staff during the first implementation year(Y1). The majority of these steps have been completed and are detailed below. Staff expects that all steps will be complete by the end of Y1. Ashland CEAP Year, 1 Implementation Summary v' Formalize City's commitment • Council Adopted CEAP Plan (Approved March 2017) • Council Adopted CEAP Ordinance (Approved September 2017) ✓ Create and hire a full-time, permanent City CEAP staff position (Hired November 2017) v' Form and convene CEAP Implementation committee (Created Jan 2018) v' Create an internal City Climate Team (planning) ✓ Designate potential funding sources (planning) ✓ Establish CEAP progress indicators (in progress) v/ Begin priority near term CEAP actions (in progress and ongoing) • ULT-3-3.

These and other strategies and actions will undoubtedly be worked on by other City Departments and Commissions as connections with current and future Departmental work plans are identified. Longer term planning efforts will further integrate the work of Departments and Commissions on Phase I and 11 CEAP strategies and actions. Because the CEAP is a community plan and not just a City plan, it is further recognized and expected that various community partners and groups will take on a variety of specific phase I and 11 actions to assist in CEAP action achievement.
