Greetings, Onward Oceanside Stakeholders: The City will host a public workshop on a draft Climate Action Plan (CAP) and a draft policy framework for the Energy and Climate Action Element (ECAP) on March 15th in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. The workshop will begin at 5:30 with an open house offering participants an opportunity to interact with members of the project team, who will share infographics on local sources of GHG emissions, proposed GHG emissions reduction measures, proposed ECAP goals and policies, and personal choices stakeholders can make to reduce their individual carbon footprint. At 6:30, the project team will deliver a whole-group presentation and field questions and comments from participants. Public input collected at the workshop will contribute the refinement of both the CAP and the ECAP policy framework. Note: The Sunset Market occurs on Thursday night, so parking at City Hall may be limited. Consider an alternative mode of transportation. The project team anticipates making the draft CAP and draft ECAP policy framework available for public review on March 5th. These materials will be posted to the project webpage. With the support of SANDAG’s Climate Framework, the City has initiated a cost/benefit analysis of the proposed GHG emissions reduction measures in the draft Climate Action Plan. Conducted by the Energy Policy Initiatives Center (EPIC) at the University of San Diego, the cost/benefit analysis will identify the investments the City would have to make to implement the proposed GHG emissions reduction measures (e.g., staff resources, budget allocations)), calculate how the proposed measures would financially impact the community at-large, and monetize the effects of GHG reduction. The results of the cost/benefit analysis will be shared with decision-makers prior to public hearings on the draft CAP.
