<br />ATTACHMENT A <br />Example Actions to Implement Recommendations <br /> <br />In addition to the primary recommendations included in the AIS, the commission has included the <br />following list of “example actions,” to support the recommendations. These suggestions are not <br />inclusive of all possible actions, but rather the commission’s intent is to offer suggestions of some ways <br />to consider implementing the recommendations. These recommendations could also be used by <br />community groups, business leaders, other public agencies and members of the public to incorporate <br />sustainability efforts into their own business and personal activities. <br /> <br />The following example actions are presented for consideration by the council and staff: <br /> <br />Recommendation 1 <br /> <br />The City shall formally adopt the following goal: <br />All City-owned facilities and City operations shall be “carbon neutral” (i.e. shall reduce net carbon <br />emissions to zero, or if that is not possible, cancel all remaining emissions through the funding of <br />approved local offset mechanisms or the purchase of approved offsets) by 2020. <br /> <br />Example action: <br />? <br /> <br />Prioritize and fully fund the development and implementation of the internal climate action <br />planning process currently underway. <br /> <br />Recommendation 2 <br /> <br />The City of Eugene shall, in conjunction with a wide variety of community partners: <br />Develop a community climate action plan that will (1) set a carbon emission reduction goal and <br />establish targets for achieving that goal;, (2) identify strategies to achieve those targets;, (3) identify <br />necessary adaptations;, (4) develop measures for tracking success, and (5) include periodic progress <br />reports back to the community. <br /> <br />Example actions: <br />? <br /> <br />Identify new (or re-envisioned) funding sources for alternative transportation projects. <br />? <br /> <br />Formally adopt a community-wide “no idling” policy and encourage other jurisdictions to do the <br />same. <br />? <br /> <br />Dedicate funds to improving bike and pedestrian accessibility: <br /> <br />Develop more safe bike zones. <br />o <br /> <br />Improve biking safety corridors to schools. <br />o <br />? <br /> <br />Install round-abouts instead of stop signs at new intersections (to reduce use of brakes). <br />? <br /> <br />Create incentives for businesses to provide bus passes for employees. <br /> <br /> <br /> Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M081008\S081008Aand attA.doc <br />
