C. WORK SESSION: Climate Recovery <br />Climate and Energy Analyst Matt McRae gave a PowerPoint presentation on local and regional climate <br />recovery efforts. <br />Councilor Zelenka presented the following motion for council consideration at an upcoming work <br />session: <br />"I move that the City Manager schedule a public hearing for an ordinance codifying our unanimously <br />adopted climate goals that city operations become climate neutral by 2020, and for reducing <br />community -wide fossil fuel use by 50% by 2030. To ensure we meet these goals, staff shall prepare an <br />Update Report every two years and a Comprehensive Report every 5 years beginning January 1, 2015. <br />By June 30, 2014, staff shall conduct a numerical assessment of whether we are on a path to meet our <br />goals. If we are not, by December 31, 2014 staff shall conduct a gap analysis of what programs and <br />policies in our Internal Climate Action Plan (ICAP) and Community Energy Action Plan (CEAP) did <br />not occur. In addition, staff shall present to Council options, with a cost - benefit analysis, for meeting <br />the climate neutrality goal by 2020, and ensuring we are on track to meet our fossil fuel goal by 2030. <br />Staff shall also present to the Council for its consideration, and potential adoption, a city -wide science <br />based goal of GHG emission reductions by 2020, 2025 and 2030 for inclusion in this ordinance. The <br />reductions shall be sufficient to put the city -wide GHG emissions reduction rate on a path consistent <br />with achieving 350 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the atmosphere by 2100." <br />D. WORK SESSION: Scenario Planning Update <br />Planning Director Carolyn Burke and Project Manager Kristin Hull gave a PowerPoint update on the <br />multijurisdictional work to fulfill the requirements of the Central Lane Scenario Planning Project to <br />develop scenarios that show a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. <br />The work session adjourned at 7:03 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />,6 W J <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />MINUTES — Eugene City Council March 10, 2014 Page 2 <br />Work Session and Meeting <br />
