FROM :
Council member Ashbaugh has requested the following edits be made to the staff
report and corresponding letter to the Grand Jury . Staff concurs with these change s
and if Council agrees will make the corrections to the letter that is presented to both
the Grand Jury and the presiding judge . The recommended edits are as follows :
Page C6-4 and to corresponding language on page C6-26 :
Paragraph 1, 3 `d line : Strike "several legalissues havearisen" and insert "a majo r
Federal policy issue has arisen "
Page C6-26 : Paragraph 2 : Revise from "The City will continue to monitor ..." to a
more affirmative statement, to wit : "The City will continue to advocate for Federa l
policy and/or leqislative changes to enable the AB 811 program to succeed, and to
work closely with the County and Council of Governments to implement this progra m
once this issue has been resolved ."
Page C6-26 :2 . The County Board of Supervisors and City Councils of all of the county's
incorporated cities should use the media to educate and encourage local resident s
and businesses to invest in solar power.
Response : Will be implemented in the future when appropriate . Once timing of th e
CallforniaFIRST program is known, a communications plan will direct outreach ,
education and encouragement . Part of the education process will includ e
understanding the "loading order" of installing solar power . Older structures will
need to address upgrades to insulation, windows and HVAC systems prior to sizin g
and installing solar power systems.In addition, the City is in the process o f
developing a Climate Action Plan . The outreach and public involvement that will
occur with review of this plan will help educate the community about a variety o f
strategies (including solar power)designed to help the City meet emission s
reductions required by AB 32 .
