Attachment A <br />October 28, 2019, Work Session – Item 3 <br />Eugene Community Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Recommendations <br />The Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP2.0) Equity Panel met 10 times between January and <br />June 2019 to provide feedback on the City of Eugene’s Climate Action Plan and related <br />work. Representatives included individuals from the Food for Lane County, Huerto de la <br />Familia, Lane Independent Living Alliance, NAACP, National Alliance on Mental Illness <br />Lane County, and Sapsikwala. <br />Recommended Equity and Climate Actions <br />Buildings <br />1. Incentives and education for people to create rain and stormwater gardens at home. <br /> <br />2. Stakeholders offer incentives for employees to attend workshops on waste <br />management, composting, energy use, climate change, gardening, transportation, <br />carpooling. <br /> <br />3. Provide education about the climate impacts of having a large, single family home. <br />Land use policies that encourage density and smaller, multifamily homes result in <br />lower emissions and should be encouraged. * <br /> <br />4. City land use policies should encourage higher density land use. Higher density <br />housing results in more walkable, rideable, or roll-able communities. * <br /> <br />Perspectives on Key Policy Issues: Natural Gas, Electric Vehicles and <br />Reducing Consumption <br />Equity Panel Members provided feedback on each of the following policy questions. <br />These notes represent different voices in the conversation, not consensus from the <br />group. <br />Natural Gas: How would adding a fee for using natural gas or raising prices <br />impact you? <br />Price Increases: <br /> Additional fees on natural gas would be passed on to renters who do not have <br />any control over their heating/cooking source. <br /> If offsets are required, subsidies should be offered for income constrained <br />population or a sliding scale should be created based on income levels.
