Agenda Item 6. Homework for April meeting
Over the next several weeks, Staff will assemble and draft CEAP Community Engagement Plan. As we begin
development of this document, please consider
1. Which stakeholder groups should be included? Especially those that are underserved and/or not
already involved in climate change dialog.
2. What specific messaging would you like to see in CEAP outreach? Feel free to research inspirational
examples used by other Cities and organizations.
3. How would you like to measure the public's engagement with CEAP? What does success look like?
Note: The bulk of this conversation will be at the April meeting, but we will spend a few minutes discussing
the Community Engagement Plan at the March meeting.
Agenda Item 7. Public Input Received
A new web form is under development which will route input directly into the Committee Information packet.
The link for this will be posted at ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ii ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,iir,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,l ii'i iir t ii once it is available.

Three related emails received by staff are copied here:
Email 1.
I was very disappointed in the results of the vote regarding public comment at CEAP Implementation
meetings.
If a person choses to speak-they may not come till the end of the meeting and the meeting could have
adjourned early. Other scenarios could be that the person wishing to speak has hired a baby sitter and can't
sit through the entire meeting. Or it might be the speaker's night to sleep with the homeless. In the spirit of
openness and valuing the citizen's voice, this vote is certainly limiting voices. Sure, one could email, however
there is value in seeing facial and body language-Is the member paying attention or playing with cell? Not
everyone communicates information by email. Furthermore, CEAP 1 is a good example of having obtained
valuable input from the public that influenced the content of meetings and development of the plan. Public
comments often influence those entrenched in positions. The comment that the public speaks just to get a
question answered is erroneous, as most comments are not in the form of a question. A well timed ten
minutes at the beginning of a meeting is precious little time to take away from the agenda. Speakers usually
provide valuable viewpoints that educate.
Currently, Ashland is experiencing an image problem and I don't think this decision improves the image of
openness and of valuing the public.
Thank you.

1 was disappointed to learn that your committee chose to schedule public input for 10 minutes at the end of
your regular meetings. That is unusual for public meetings in Ashland. The other commissions and the
Council itself set public input at the beginning of their meetings for the convenience of the public.
The benefit of holding public input at the beginning of the meeting is that:
1. A member of the public may want to talk about something that is on the current agenda, and so hearing
it before regular business is conducted would be beneficial to the committee.
2. Members of the public may not have time to sit in on your meetings for 2 hours in order to provide their
input.
3. Do your meetings always last exactly two hours? Do you ever close the meeting before 7 p.m.? If so,
how is a member of the public supposed to know when the 10 minute window for input will begin?
4. If a member of the public gives testimony at the end of a meeting, and then your next meeting takes
place a month later, the immediacy and impact of the input is lost (if it is even remembered by the following
month).
I ask that your team please revisit this decision. Public input proved to be very important to the process
engaged in by your predecessors on the ad hoc CEAP Committee. I expect public participation will remain
important as the Plan is implemented.
Sincerely, Caren Caldwell

My name is Willow Denker and I am planning to attend the CEAP meetings and feel that it is important
that we hear public comments at the beginning of the CEAP meetings. When I heard that comments from the
audience will be heard at the end of the meetings I thought that this decision diminished the impact of public
participation. I want to know that my my time and the voice and concerns of my community will taken into
consideration at the CEAP meetings and will be considered as important decisions are being voted on.
Please change this decision from the last meeting and receive public imput at the BEGINNING of the CEAP
meetings.
Thank you,

Ashland's Climate Vision for 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.ashland.or.us/climateplan.

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 ("climate
adaptation"):
CEAPOVrer,ar'ctiing w ' - Reduce Ashland'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.
(uu - ,� - Prepare the city's communities, systems, and resources to be more
resilient to climate change impacts.
The CEAP is primarilyorganized reas. Each focus areas containsi Istrategies,
progress indicators, identified i identifies ix focus areas for climate action:
Buildings r
Urbanr Transportation
Consumptionri I
Natural Systems
Public Health, II i
Cross-Cutting Priority Actions
The CEAP identifies r priority ions. Each of these actions offer a meaningful path to emissions
reduction l relative efficacy, co-benefits. i result i
direct i i reduction ri .
Irn 11 III im III IIII
Each individual action is assigned to an implementation phase, either:
• Phase I: complete by 2020
• Phase II: complete by 2025
Phase I Actions are slated for near-term commencement and were determined to have met one or more of the
following criteria:
Easy, early wins
Foundational steps
• Complex, but important initiatives
Windows of opportunity
Phase II actions include all actions identified in CEAP, that do not meet Phase I criteria above. Phase II actions
may be initiated in Phase I, but not at the expense of completing Phase I actions. Priority actions not meeting
these criteria are assigned to Phase II.
Amti�ans I r alkeirv: (2011 111)
The CEAP document includes a "Year 1 Implementation Summary" to guide City staff during the initial
implementation. The majority of these activities have been completed and are detailed in the table below.
Staff expect the remainder of the year 1 implementation activities will be completed in March or April 2018,
close to the first anniversary of the plan's adoption.

Phase I implementation will be the focus of CEAP activities in 2018-2019. The CEAP identifies more than 25
specific actions for Phase I implementation, all of which are high priority and slated for completion by 2020.
Phase I actions are intended to provide initial climate action momentum, leverage windows of opportunity, and
begin setting the stage for longer-term actions.
CEAP staff hired in late 2017 has begun coordinating with City Departments and community members to
establish times lines and project leads for all Phase I actions. The ad-hoc CEAP Implementation Committee is
working alongside staff to recommend key performance indicators, which will be used in future reports to track
incremental progress toward adopted CEAP goals.
To lend focus to initial 2018 implementation efforts, major CEAP activities for 2018 are grouped into the
following themes:
0 Energy
0 Transportation
0 Outreach

Saving energy and building more renewable energy resources are essential components of Ashland's carbon
reduction goals. Ashland has offered energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives to the community for
many years, but there is substantial room for additional uptake.
Changes in Ashland's Net Metering resolution mean there is substantial opportunity for community-driven, or
other types of group solar projects. Efficiency measures and net-metered solar are especially valuable as they
reduce Ashland's overall electricity usage and create direct reductions in GHG emissions.
There are several proposals for developing larger community and utility solar resources, which could allow
Ashland to incorporate additional low carbon energy in the electric utility portfolio. Costs and feasibility of these
larger renewables projects will be assessed in 2018.
Key Actions
BE-1-3. Facilitate and Encourage Solar Energy Production.
BE-1-4. Enhance Production of on-site solar energy from City facilities.
BE-2-1. Increase outreach efforts to expand participation in energy efficiency programs and promote
climate-friendly building and construction.
BE-3-1. Use results from City Facilities Energy Audit to prioritize City Facilities Capital Improvement
Plans (CIPs) and maintenance improvements.

Two primary opportunities for Ashland include reducing the number of vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and to
facilitating the use of higher-efficiency vehicles, especially electric vehicles (EV). In practical terms, this means
helping Ashlanders drive less and walk/bike more. The Ashland community has a substantial opportunity to
reduce emissions by electrifying transportation, which is more efficient than fossil fuel alternatives and has the
ability to be fueled from low-carbon sources such as from solar or wind energy.
BE-1-2. Promote switching to lower-carbon fuels.
• ULT-2-1. Implement bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly actions in the City's Transportation System Plan
and Downtown Parking Management Plan.
• ULT-3-2. Revise land use codes to require EV charging infrastructure at multifamily and commercial
developments.

Ashland's Climate and Energy Action Plan is comprehensive and offers guidance to citizens, businesses, and
City operations alike. There is a significant amount of outreach and education needed to ensure broad
understanding, continued public support of the plan.
CEAP staff are working to build a website and Community Engagement Plan to increase the plan's exposure
and provide a comprehensive resource. Both the website and the engagement plan will be significant projects
in 2018 and serve as a foundation for initial (and future) implementation.
The Implementation Committee will receive frequent updates on the status of CEAP actions and will be an
important conduit for relaying updates to other Commissions. In addition, the committee will be involved in the
creation of the Community Engagement Plan and will have the opportunity to engage with CEAP action leads.
